The makings of A simpsons classic

This game has everything in it a simpsons fan could dream of. Although the game has a simpsons theme that doesn't mean you won't enjoy the game if you don't know the simpsons. The game takes the Crazy taxi formula that is so great and makes it better by allowing you to drive more characters up to 30 each with their own lines from the show and every time you pick up someone they respond to who you are. I.E. when your homer and you pick up bart he says "he its the big man" and homer replies with "that's my boy" and every character says 100's of things making this game entertaining and funny. This game is great if you liked crazy taxi get it. If you like the Simpsons get it. This game is hands down the best simpsons game ever made. Also for those of you who have noticed the ps2 and NGC versions of this game this one is the best graphic wise and gameplay wise. Plus no load times during gameplay. BUY THIS GAME

Best (Simpsons) game ever

I was dismally disappointed by Simpsons Wrestling, so I wasn't entirely optimistic about this one. I bought it anyway, though, because I'm a huge fan of the Simpsons. I'm so glad I did. Yes, it's a blatant Crazy Taxi clone, but I liked Crazy Taxi. A difference, though, is the mission mode in Road Rage. Searching for mascots to chase down or newspaper stands to crush is a nice change of pace.
The animation is pretty cool, too, and I like that the real voice talent from the show was used. The catchphrases are funny ("I'm afraid of the future!" - Grandpa Simpson) and they are often specific to the current fare.
The game isn't too hard, either. You earn new characters as you advance through the game, but it's cumulative - even if you don't do fantastic in every round, keep playing long enough and you'll open everybody.
Also neat are the hidden characters (set your Xbox calendar to holidays such as Halloween and Christmas).
This game is best for Simpsons fans, but who doesn't like the Simpsons?

this game is phat

I love the Simpsons. I love Crazy Taxi. I LOVE the Simpsons Road Rage! It's better than Crazy Taxi because the characters are ones we're familiar with-- all from Springfield. Oh and you can unlock different levels (parts of Springfield) and different cars (including Otto's school bus, Lovejoy's book burning van, and the special car made for Homer!) There's also a mission mode where you can just play for level goals. The dialogue is what really makes it better than Crazy Taxi-- because it's funny! It takes no real skill so it's perfect for the simple gamer like myself.

BETTER THAN CRAZY TAXI!!!

This weekend I have rented both Crazy Taxi 3 (which includes both 1&2 plus a new map) and Simpsons Road Rage. While Crazy Taxi does have better graphics, MUCH shorter load times, and more driving techniques such as the crazy hop and slide, SRR has it where it counts. It is easily more fun.

First off, you'll laugh till you cry with the excellent dialogue. You can play the map again with a different character and expect to pick up different people than with different conversations. And there is a ALOT of characters to play as. This leading to extended replay value. However, I personally reccomend unlocking the levels first, which are filled with little things that any Simpson fan will instantly recognize and laugh at. However, I will not tell you any of these things cause it may ruin the fun...

This game is also MUCH more destructive than Crazy Taxi ever was. It just seems more fun to smash things up in this game than Crazy Taxi. You can also runover pedestrians. Which is really funny to watch and there is no blood. Since I'm on the topic, parents maybe interested to know what type of content is in the game. It was rated 'T' for people 13+. While mostly harmless, there is a bit of foul language in the game. However, it isn't any worse than the show. You do drive by a strip joint in the entertainment district level however. But if you live anywhere in the USA, you know you don't have to go far to see any type of adult entertainment. I think that this game is more than appropriate for a 13 year old, but maybe not enough for an 'E' rating (ages 6+). Overall it should be okay for a 9-11 year old to play.

Even when the jokes begin to become stale, this game is great to put in with friends. Watching your friend's laugh till they drop will at least put a smile on your face. Thankfully, EA realized this and put in a 2 player mode, which is not available in Crazy Taxi. Unfortunately, since I only have one controller I am unable to test it out. Another thing I really like is the fact that there is a map at the bottom of the screen which helps you map out the area and tell you where to go. This was a feature was needed in CT, but unfortunately Sega never really delevered. However, sometimes this map becomes your only way of determining where to go since there are a few times where the arrow is a little buggy. But these moments are rare and far between however.

I could really go on forever about how good this game is and how well it is, but there is a limit of words. Dispite what other critics say, this game is definately worth getting, especially now of its recently reduced price. If you are still a little weary, rent it first. And if you have some extra $$$, rent Crazy Taxi 3 to do a comparison of how well this game is compared to it. Sure it maybe a ripoff of CT, but it manages to improve off of it. Which really can't be a bad thing. This game is easilly the best Simpsons game since the arcade game!!!

Tight Work!

This game has awsome graphics and features. I love all of the character voices. If I could rate it over 5 stars, I would. Too bad (another internet retailer)sent it to me for XBOX when I asked for the PS2 version! (mummbling)(...)!!!

It's great!
