The Simpsons: Road Rage Critic Reviews

You have the instant playability of the Dreamcast classic , but with television's favourite family stuck onto it. How can it go wrong?

The details and references to the TV show will provide non-stop amazement.

This reckless, Crazy Taxi–like romp around town is like a high-speed dream tour for fans of the series. Almost every Simpsons character in the game is either a driver or a passenger.

Easily the best console Simpsons game ever. Considering that the lot it’s in is comprised primarily of crap that isn’t surprising but the fact that I like this game better than Crazy Taxi might be.

A game that only Simpsons fans can appreciate.

It looks a little worse than the Xbox version, but moves a bit faster and controls slightly better.

All the Simpsons characters and environments are lovingly and faithfully recreated, replete with references to specific events in episodes.

It’s a fairly well done one but the controls are not nearly as precise , the moves not nearly as cool and the concept is more stale than Apu's old donuts.

Ok so The Simpsons are getting better in the games industry, "Simpsons Wrestling" was diabolical and should never of been created. The Simpsons Road Rage is a decent game.

Maybe it’s because I’m such a big fan of the series but I absolutely love this game.

What makes this game rise above its humble beginnings are the tons of unlockable characters and the six different environments.

In the very least it will provide a good laugh and a desire to watch some re-runs.

Road Rage suffers from a number of problems, not the least of which is bad collision detection. You'll often find yourself clipping a corner of a building or slamming into another car even though you have room to spare.

Write 'I will not rip off other games, stick in a cult TV licence and rake in the cash' out 100 times.

Non-fans just won't have much reason to play.

Like "Crazy Taxi," this game is fun for a few minutes at a time, but it’s not an engrossing experience. I liked it a little better than I did "Crazy Taxi," because I am a Simpsons fan.

So it seems like we have a pretty solid game here. Not brilliant, but fun and dorky, maybe a "B." But there's a horrible curse on this game: the worst… loading times… ever. You can spend more time waiting around than actually playing Road Rage.

The lack of gameplay ingenuity, long load times and crappy graphics will turn most off. But Simpsons fans will love the game anyway.

While it certainly doesn’t have the graphical prowess of Crazy Taxi the real character voices and classic Simpson’s sense of humor make it worth a rental.

The developers have done an excellent job of making use of the well-loved license, but the end product is a very average videogame.
