    A solid game in its own right, with gameplay that continues to entertain long after the novelty of driving around Springfield has worn off. [Dec 2001, p.105]

    A must for Simpsons fans, and is fun in short bursts, but this kind of game is better suited to the instant gameplay environment of the arcade. You might be miffed when you've seen all there is after a few hours of play.

    If you're a Crazy Taxi or Simpsons fanatic, this game will definitely appeal to you. If you don't care much about either, don't bother.

    Isn't that bad, but like the unpopular kid in school, it tries so hard to be something that it's not. In this case, it's trying to be "Crazy Taxi."

    If you enjoy The Simpsons and you enjoy driving like a maniac, you'll enjoy this game, for a while. But the gimmick gets way too old way too fast to be satisfying to even the most rabid fans of the show.

    One word, used by Homer throughout, best describes the action in Road Rage: "Bor-ing."
  7. Electronic Gaming Monthly

    The throwaway storyline, endless loading times, small environments and barely Dreamcast-quality graphics are instant turn-offs. [Jan 2002, p.230]

I can understand about it getting boring, but the perseverance to get 1 million is staggering, I don't like hard games so I'm not trying to get hit and run. Overall, great game.… Expand

At the time I didn’t know what Crazy Taxi was, pretty much Crazy Taxi slapped on with The Simpsons, but the difference is that Crazy Taxi keeps you playing and looks good drives fast. This game looking back now is just okay. It’s an average Crazy Taxi Simpsons game where you take passengers from point A to B. Only difference is that this is not Crazy Taxi and not as fun as Crazy Taxi, just ain’t. Average… Expand

The Simpsons are funny as always, but you will tire of the same catchphrases over and over. Overall I did enjoy this game, but you won't miss out on much if you choose to skip over it. I'll give it a 7 because it IS fun the first run through but it gets old quickly and it isn't superbly executed, there were definitely some bugs in there.… Expand
