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]

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

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

Maxim Online
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.

Hot Games
A game that only Simpsons fans can appreciate.

Game Informer
It looks a little worse than the Xbox version, but moves a bit faster and controls slightly better. [Dec 2001, p.93]

PSX Nation
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.

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

GameZone
It’s a fairly well done one but the controls are not nearly as precise [as "Crazy Taxi"], 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.

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

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

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

GameSpot
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.

Official U.S. Playstation Magazine
Non-fans just won't have much reason to play. [Jan 2002, p.134]

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

Gamezilla!
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.
58
Cinescape
The lack of gameplay ingenuity, long load times and crappy graphics will turn most off. But Simpsons fans will love the game anyway.
58
Game Revolution
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.
56
My Gamer
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.
51
IGN
The developers have done an excellent job of making use of the well-loved license, but the end product is a very average videogame.
50
Yahoo! Games
It's just unfortunate that technical problems and repetitive audio samples cause annoyance throughout.

GamePro
Nothing more than a third-rate "Crazy Taxi" knockoff, but minus the technique, slick visuals, and overall fun of its source material.

GameSpy
[It] would make a fine purchase for masochists and parents looking to punish their kids. Other than that, gamers could play "Crazy Taxi," and then watch an episode of the TV show to end up ten times more satisfied than this game will make them.
