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. I’m a huge Simpsons fan and over and over I’ve been crushingly disappointed in the quality of the Simpson’s games. Let’s not even talk about the Simpson’s Wrestling game. But this time Fox has taken a different approach, they’ve 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 Springfield’s 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 Simpson’s 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.
