How Metascores Are Calculated
|
Mr. Burns is up to his greedy ways again, purchasing the Springfield Transit Corporation and jacking up the fares. Refusing to shell out the high rates, Springfield citizens are forced into humorous Simpsons "road rage" as they brave commuters, jam-packed back-routes and the challenge to make enough money to buy back the Transit Corporation before time runs out. No time for donuts, Homer. [Electronic Arts]

Load time can be as slow as Homer’s wit, but that’s small beans when Road Rage is one of the wildest – and funniest – rides around. [Jan 2002, p.126]

Game Informer
Though a little short on gameplay depth, Road Rage is worth repeated play because of the show-lifted locations and both original and reused character quotes. [Mar 2002, p.81]

We know that The Simpsons Road Rage is neither original nor groundbreaking but it is enormous fun and that’s what important, isn’t it.

GameCube Europe
If you've already purchased "Crazy Taxi" then there's little here to tempt you into buying what is essentially the same product unless, of course, you're a huge Simpsons fan.
75
Electric Playground
Clearly designed by people who by-God know their Simpsons minutiae...An excellent-looking, perfect-sounding, perfectly-playable arcade game, albeit one of many missed opportunities.

Hot Games
The game is not there for the amusement or entertainment of the general public - it's a special, silly game reserved for true aficionados of the Simpsons. Count us in.

Just plain fun.

What's missing is Crazy Taxi's sense of breakneck speed, as well as its more clever map design.

GameBiz
If you’ve played "Crazy Taxi" before leave Road Rage on the shelf, everyone else who isn’t a Simpsons fan, should invest their money in something else because there is really only lasting appeal for the fans and even then it’s cutting it close.

Nintendojo
A weekend may be enough for most, as the flaws of unimpressive graphics, brief-lived audio humor and questionable control are substantial.

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

GameSpot
While it's better than the poor GameCube port of the original "Crazy Taxi," ultimately, the only saving grace Road Rage has is that it's a Simpsons game.

The Simpsons Road Rage is fun for short stretches of time, but it’s a definite rent-first title.

G4 TV
While it may sound fun, the play control and physics in the game are rather loose, resulting in unresponsive vehicle controls and collision detection that has you occasionally hitting objects you aren't even touching as you drive.

IGN
For awhile, Road Rage delivers a funny, though not particularly original racing experience. But just as the one-liners quickly run dry, so does a compelling reason to keep playing the me-too racer.

Electronic Gaming Monthly
You’ll still have to deal with irritating load times and janky collision detection problems (it’s easy to get your car stuck on objects and buildings). [Mar 2002, p.141]
Soul Calibur 2 gave it a 6: Alf Bobby B. gave it a 9: Nicholas B and Scott C. both gave it a 0: Justin gave it a 9: Bruce C. gave it a 7: |
