Editorial Reviews :
There's road rage, and then there's road rage Simpsons style! 'D'oh!' Monty Burns is up to his greedy ways again. He's purchased Springfield's transit corporation and heinously jacked up the fares. Refusing to shell out for the new rates, the rage ensues. You'll take on commuters and jam-packed back routes, all in an effort to help buy back the corporation before time runs out.
More than 25 Simpsons characters climb behind the wheel or wander the streets begging for a ride. Careen through timesaving shortcuts and take on terrain including hills, mountains, and forests. Wreak havoc in five Springfield neighborhoods that include landmarks such as Moe's Bar and the nuclear power plant. Busy traffic and wayward pedestrians confound your rage. However, two-wheel leans, speed starts, power slides, and other cool car physics help you release that rage.
Multiple game modes let you go head-to-head in two-player split-screen action that challenges your opponent in a race for the next passenger, or you can steal his or her passenger midride! Complete up to 60 unique passenger deliveries in story mode, or take a leisurely Sunday drive through the fair Springfield. A bonus system lets you unlock cars and specific characters, while intuitive menus make this game easy to play. As Homer would say, 'If it's hard to do, it's not worth doing!'
Buyer Reviews :
The Simpsons: Road Rage is, at best, a Crazy Taxi wannabe. This is the worst title I've played on the Xbox yet. The Crazy Taxi premise is okay - CT is one of my favorite games - but Road Rage suffers on many levels.
The voice talent, while authentic, is very limited. Characters start repeating phrases within the space of a single run. It's annoying.
The graphics are a cross between bad cel-shading and an intern's first attempt at 3D extrusion. Blech.
The load times before and after each run are insane. I wonder if it's not a result of a 'simple' port from one platform to another. This game was clearly not designed to take advantage of the Xbox's memory or graphic capabilities.
Rent it, play it, then get it out of your system - literally and figuratively.
