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.

Woo-Hoo!!!

Hi-Diddly-Ho There! Ned Flanders at your ser-viddly-ervice!!!

The Game starts out with the Simpsons watching the news and they find out That Homer's boss, C. Montgomery Burns has bought the bus company and has made the buses radioactive. The citizens of Springfield won't stand for it. They are forced to turn their cars into cabs and boycott the buses, while collecting money to buy back the bus comnpany.

This is one awesome game. If you're a big Simpsons fan, like me, you'll love this game. One strange thing about this game is that its just like Crazy Taxi in every way, except there is a primary objective that must be completed to beat the game, (collect a million dollars to buy back the bus company.) You can play with about eighteen characters and play on six levels. As far as game play goes, it is awesome. Graphics are phenominal and another cool thing is that the characters sound and look just as they do on the show. Here are the characters you can play with (their cars and best asset are also listed)

Homer: Family Sedan (All around)
Marge: Convero (All Turning)
Bart: Soap Box Racer (Acceleration)
Lisa: Electric Car (Acceleration)
Grandpa: Go-Cart (Speed)
Professor Frink: Hover Car (Best overall) (My Favorite!)
Flanders: Station wagon (All Around)
Krusty the Clown: Clown Car (Turning)
Apu: Sports car (Speed)
Homer: Mr. Plow (All Around)
Snake:Lil' Bandit (All Speed)
Chief Wiggum: Cop Car (Turning)
Barney: Plow King (All Power)
Otto: School Bus (Power)
Moe: Sedan (Turning)
Groundskeeper Willie: Tractor (Speed)
Reverend Lovejoy: Book-Burning Mobile (Power)

And Six Real Simpsons Boards:

Evergreen Terrace (Where The Simpsons live)
Entertainment District(Where Moe's Tavern is)
Springfield Dam
Nuclear Power Plant (Where Homer Works)
Downtown
Spring Field Montains

There is only one flaw to this entire game, not all the characters in the Simpsons Show are involved in the game. other than that its perfect. So, what are you waiting for? Get it now!

P.S. Vote Quimby!!!

SIMPSON's Road Rage, a good start for GameCube

This is a good game to start off with on Gamecube. I just got my Gamecube and this is the first game I got. I love it. It helps that I am a Simpson's fan but I believe that everybody would like this game. Even if you just watched maybe 2 or 3 episodes. The main part of the game is Road Rage. The goal is to get 1 million $'s. It is really fun because everytime you hit a certain cash goal you win a prize, like a new character or a new starting location. The cool thing is you pick. The other cool part of this game is Mission Mode. There are 10 in all and at the end you win a certain prize(I won't ruin it for u), basically there are different missions such as knocking all of the newspaper stands down and then on the 10th mission you meet Mr.Burns himself. Personally, I like this game a lot. It does have some similarities to Crazy Taxi but in Simpson's there is actually a way to beat the game(getting 1 million $.) In Crazy Taxi there was no way to beat the game. Also, mission mode has almost nothing in common with Taxi. The Head to Head Mode(multiplayer) is also really fun. You can set the goal to 5K, 10k, or 15k. For each person you drop off you get 1k. One of the players picks the person up and tries to get the chararcter to it's destination while the other tries to follow the car and smash into it to steal the passenger. It's very cool. This game does have some bugs to work out like long loading times but it is all worth it. That's why I give it a 4. If I could have I would've put 4 and a half.

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.

Great Game

well, if you've read my Crazy Taxi review for the Cube, then you'll know this is what I'll have to say about this one also, except for one minor detail, I don't like it. It basicly Copies the Crazy Taxi engine, it gets kinda repetitive, and can get rather old quickly. If you're a Simpson fan, and liked Crazy Taxi, then yes get this game, but if you don't like The Simpsons and like racing games, then Crazy Taxi is your game, not this one. It's your choice, Crazy Taxi... Simpsons.. Crazy Taxi... Simpsons... Cra.. ok enough of that. Sorry guys gotta downgrade this one.

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!!!

This *is* Crazy Taxi

I saw this game at E3 and wondered if it was a joke or not. It is Crazy Taxi but with object models based on the Simpsons.

If you've never played Crazy Taxi, and you love the Simspons, then this game is definitely for you. Crazy Taxi's formula provides hours of arcady entertainment and is great at parties.

If you've picked up Crazy Taxi for another platform already, this game will bring you the same exact gameplay but Simpsonized.

The Simpsons Hit The Hot Road!

The Simpsons: Road Rage is a great game with many great features. It gives you the humor and feel of the Simpsons world, while it also gives you a driving-skill type feeling. You can choose from three modes:
1.Mission Mode
Mission Mode is basicly a series of different challanges. In it you'll find different sorts of tasks/goals you must complete. If you complete them within a certain time limit, you'll clear the mission. Try to complete them all!
2.Sunday Drive
Sunday Drive is really just a practice mode. It's just the same sort of thing as Road Rage (see more information below), exept there's no time limit. It's a way to sharpen your skill!
3.Road Rage
Road Rage is (or at least in my opinion) the most fun, replayable mode. In Road Rage, you have a certain over-all time limit. You'll drive around a certain area (you can choose which one), and you find people standing with these blue, circular lines around them, creating a dome over them. Drive and stop in the dome to pick them up. They'll tell you where they want to go, then a hand will appear at the top of the screen pointing in the direction to go. It'll flash when you're almost to the passanger's destination. Their destination will be within some yellow lines. Drive and stop inside to drop them off. They'll then pay you for the ride. While you're driving someone, you'll have a seperate timer from the over-all one, but the over-all one will still be ticking while this one is. This one is a timer for the person in your car. If you don't reach their destination in time, they'll jump out and not pay you. If your over-all timer runs out, you'll get a Game Over and recieve your scores and such. When you get a certain amount of money (it'll keep going up as you spend money) you'll be able to unlock a new vehicle/character, or a new area. That's what keeps the game going and going!

Overall, this is an awesome game!!
I hope my review was helpful to you!
