Simpsons Road Rage
Due Fall 2001 for PS2.
|
Almost nothing tickled me more at E3 than Simpsons: Road Rage. I was so happy
to see a Simpsons game that looked playable. Simpsons: Road Rage actually looked more than
playable, it looked downright fun. Im a huge Simpsons fan and over and over
Ive been crushingly disappointed in the quality of the Simpsons games.
Lets not even talk about the Simpsons Wrestling game. But this time Fox has
taken a different approach, theyve taken the gameplay style of Crazy Taxi and worked
it into the wacky world of Springfield, USA. The ever evil Mr. Burns has taken over
Springfields buses and converted them to nuclear power, consequently the fare has
been hiked up to $99. The citizens of Springfield have banded together to form a taxi
service, to compensate for that lack of buses and to make enough money to buy their public
transit back. When I say this game is a lot like Crazy Taxi I really mean it, but Crazy
Taxi was a really great game that deserves to be "honored." This game has over
20 playable characters (and yet more cameos); all of the Simpson favorites will be there
each with there own catch phrases and style. I just found it super cool to drive around
Springfield, drop Apu off at the Kwik-E-Mart and get Willie back to his shack behind the
school. Finally a Simpsons video game worth playing. This game is a must for any
Simpsons fan, but it might be fun for anyone that enjoyed Crazy Taxi (which in my mind
should be everyone with a console and a pulse).
This game will also be released on the Xbox.
