Game Description

The first thing that leaps out at you when you pick up Simpsons Road Rage is Crazy Taxi--its an unashamed copy of the Sega hit and is relatively unchanged for the Xbox version.

The premise is simple: drive around Springfield picking up characters from the popular TV show and depositing them at their requested destination for cash. The graphics are colourful, yet not overly detailed--but then thats in keeping with the cartoon style of the show. This keeps the action at a nice and frenetic pace. The levels are pretty big, with a multitude of flash jumps and short cuts for show-offs; most of the scenery is destructible too, and that can add to the games satisfaction. All of the locales are recognisable, from Moes Bar to Grandpa Simpsons retirement home.

The main element of the game is the aforementioned Crazy Taxi-esque Road Rage mode. There are also Sunday Drive, multiplayer and mission modes. Sunday Drive allows you to pootle around the various levels at leisure for both sightseeing and tactical route-planning reasons; this is the best way to find those sneaky short cuts and hidden areas. Story mode adds a little extra sparkle to the game, with a set series of missions to complete--for example, Homers skived off work for the afternoon and you, as Bart, have to sneak your dad past the evil Mr Burns and back into work. As with most racing games, youre rewarded for reaching set point totals and completing the missions, but the difference with Simpsons Road Rage is that you get to choose your reward, be it unlocking one of the secret characters, like Groundskeeper Willie and his tractor, or opening extra maps, like the Springfield nuclear power plant.

The real high point of Simpsons Road Rage, though, is the sound. No Hom.
