If you're a Simpsons fan, you will love this game. It's that simple. Real voices, real characters, real Springfield locations, all of them used to best advantage. For example: Marge barrels over Bumble Bee man with her F-Series, and quips, "I hope nobody saw that", or, "My bad". Homer warns his passengers not to sit on his nachos, or complains that he's swallowed his gum. Milhouse complains about swallowing his retainer, and Ralph informs his driver that a leprechaun tells him to burn things. Chief Wiggum is late for a beating, and if you run down poor Gil in the road he'll tell you all about his troubles. Do you see where I'm going? It's the authentic, situation-specific voices and characters (which I've only scratched the surface of) that make this game worthwhile. And combined with simple, fun controls and five or six huge Springfield neighborhoods, a Simpson fan will be forced to admit that he or she would have willingly paid a lot more for the experience. And if you're not a Simpsons fan, and are simply looking for a taxi sim, no problem. This is the one. Crazy Taxi is weak compared to this game--confusing controls, 2 whole neighborhoods to roam through, pedestrians that always seem to jump out of the way at the last instant, and a minimum of breakables...why waste the money? In contrast, mail boxes and shopping carts and light posts are commonly seen flying through the air in downtown and residential Springfield, and when you hit somebody, like the Sea Captain or Mayor Quimby or Principal Skinner, you both feel it. I'm a Simpsons fan, and I can honestly say that I can find nothing wrong with this game. Bottom line: you will not regret adding it to your Gamecube library. A worthy purchase.

BEST EPISODE EVER!

How could people be giving this game bad reviews? This is one of the best games I ever played and definetly the best Simpsons game. Sure, it's a copy of Crazy Taxi but there are way more characters (17) and levels (6). The lines can get repetitive so you shouldn't use just one character. The levels get way harder as you go on. The Nuclear Power Plant is way more difficult than the first few levels. And the story is good and simple. You have to earn a million dolars by bringing Springfield residents to their destination as quick as you can to stop Burns and his radioactive buses. When you earn a certain amount of money such as 100,000 you get to choose a new character or level. The Mission Mode becomes challenging and Sunday Drive is a useful practice mode.

Graphics- 4.5
The opening movie shows great 3D graphics and all Springfield locations are shown in great detail. The characters are great looking in all their vehicles.

Sound- 4.0
The lines are hysterical such as Homer's "You drive just like I think......slowly." but become repetitive if you play constantly with the same characters and levels.

Control- 5.0
Perfect and very simple. You only need three buttons (A,B,X)

Fun Factor- 5.0
Nonstop fun and excitement! If you like the simpsons this is a must buy. It combines the success of the simpsons and crazy taxi. Drop a point if you have played crazy taxi very often before. Its almost the exact same thing.

Totally great game!!!

This simpsons road rage is the coolest simpsons game yet!!! Although many reviewers compare it to crazy taxi saying it's a total ripoff, it's not. This game has over 25 different characters with their real voices and over 7 huge springfield levels. Simpsons road rage is its own different game, and with the help of gamecube's great controller, it is easier to handle, and has better graphics. Others who differ aren't a true simpsons fan, and if you are, you'll love this game.

The ultimate taxi sim!

I have always loved the taxi sims in the arcade and on other consoles. Now it seems that the Nintendo Gamecube just keeps getting better everyday. This will be the ultimate taxi sim. It combines the simpsons (which will make it extremely funny) and about the same exact thing as Crazy Taxi to make the ultimate taxi sim. It is also starting to look like the Xbox will have no games all to itself. If you love crazy taxi, I would definetly recomend anyone who loves Crazy Taxi or the Simpsons. A great buy!

WoW!

This game is the greatest game I have ever played. Even though it is exactly like Crazy Taxi it has other great features like every location in springfield for example the bowling ally and Moes Tavern. For all you Crazy Taxi Fans get this instead.By the way the dialoge in this game is hillarious!!!

Homer behind the wheel = endless fun

Mr. Burns has provided the city with nuclear powered buses, unfortunately they're not the safest things to be on by any means. In order to topple the plans of Mr. Burns, most of Springfield has decided to use their own vehicles as a taxi service. Here's where The Simpsons Road Rage begins. Road Rage is an obvious copy of Crazy Taxi, but for once, the copy is better than the original. The graphics on this game are all cel shaded and very well done. As for the play control, there's a tremendous amount of vehicles to drive and each one handles differently than the next. Though each car has the same controls, they differ in handling, acceleration, top speed, and plowing ability. One of the best things about this game is the voice acting. The entire original cast did the voice acting for this game, and almost every Simpsons character makes an apperance as either a driver or passenger. All the money you collect from driving people around is accumulated so that you can buy new courses and drivers. You'll be playing for hours just trying to unlock everything. The zany fun of The Simpsons carries perfectly onto this game. With great driving action, and hilarious character quips, this game will be loved by Simpsons fans and gaming fans both.

if you like crazy taix..........

You don;t have to be a simpsons fan to like this game. The control is great, and the sound is great through the surround. Although it helps to know a bit about the simpsons to get the overall concept of this game....

Simpsons Road RAVE!

Now, when you look at Simpsons Road Rage, you think, "Crazy Taxi Copy"! But, it is not like those cheap imatations of Tony Hawk they've been pulling off.

The Simpsons: Road Rage is a total redressing of Taxi. Drive in Homer's car and crash into the Springfield Mall or the School. Drive over the gorge or see the World's Biggest Toliet! When you pick up characters, like Cheif Wiggum who says that he needs to go home because theives stole his police car, they say the most hilarious things! What about Ralph, you tells the driver how a dog barks or how his dad's car siren sounds like. Hmmm, and Lisa, who keeps digging everyone about "how she is apposed to the waste of fossil fuels, but really needs a lift". Imagine, riding around the local Nucelar Power Plant while Homer is supposed to be at work. Or, what about Downtown Springfield with a going-on-forever party?

This is only one of the features. Besides the Simpsons, everyone gets on the act. Groundskeeper Willie with his tractor, and Professer Frink has his Flying Car! With 17 vehicles and 6 neighborhoods, you gotta buy it!

And, there are even more stuff comin to you, like the Sunday Drive mode, a sightseer's paradise. And Mission Mode allows you to complete different missions to defeat Mr. Burns, who released a line of Nuclear Power Buses, which brings me to the graphics.

At the beginning, you can view a short that is exactly like the cartoon, except in 3-D. And, it dosen't have those pesky, words instead-of-voices routine. It is actual good footage with mouths moving, flexible movements, and no cruddy movements with objects like on the N64. And, the neighboorhoods are filled with locations just like on the TV show. Some may be out of place, and some are even only in one cartoon (Like the "Gold" house and Rancho Relaxo).

Okay, now down to the nitty-gritty! For Simpsons fans and Crazy Taxi fans, this is a perfect mix. If you don't like Simpsons, though, go with Crazy Taxi, since this is a total Simpsons redressing. I loved the game, and it is a must addition to your GameCube game list!

NOT ONLY FOR CRAZI TAXI FANS!!!
