It’s not a unique idea for games on the Advance but here it’s done so poorly you’ll have a nightmare driving around the maps. The Simpsons: Road Rage employs two-dimensional courses laid flat to give the impression of a three-dimensional course. While there is scope to explore, the small size of the locations means you’ll have seen everything in a short amount of time. Meaning you will be driving back and forth between two points constantly. Springfield is far too small and there are very few passengers and locations. No, the complaints about Road Rage come from everything else. There can be few complaints about the modes. While the last mode is a multi-player battle between two players to see who can score the most fares.
THE SIMPSONS GAME PS3 DEMO SERIES
One is practice where you can explore Springfield at your own pace or take part in a series of missions. The other two modes are just added extras. Each one has their own vehicle with unique handling. There is incentive to unlock new characters though. Whatever mode of the two you do choose, once the timer expires, the money earned is added to your grand total.Įvery time you get a certain amount of cash, you unlock a new drive-able character or one of five new locations. It might involve you hitting cars or knocking over post-boxes. Performance focuses on one passenger who requires you to drive in a certain way. The faster you reach the destination, the more money you’ll earn with more time being added on to the time limit. We have Road Rage which is effectively the base game as you ferry passengers around Springfield. In an attempt to add some variety, Road Rage comes with a few extra modes. I understand the limitations of the Advance but what they did here with the visuals makes it nearly unplayable and far from fun. Like the game it rips off it is very simple and very easy to play on every console but the Gameboy Advance. The quicker you are, the more money you’ll earn but you can earn bonus cash from taking shortcuts and driving in a manner that reflects each passenger’s personality. Choose a character then drive around famous locations from the show picking up and dropping off passengers.
It’s basically the same game but with a Simpsons skin, albeit a bare one. If you’ve played Crazy Taxi then Road Rage will be very familiar. This is because two years after its original release we got the far superior and fan-favourite, The Simpsons: Hit and Run.
It’s a Simpsons game that is forgotten about. Released in 2001 for the PS2, Xbox and GameCube and two year later on the Game Boy Advance which is the version we’re reviewing here. The Simpsons: Road Rage ripped off Sega’s Crazy Taxi game series to such an extent that it even saw Sega suing Radical Entertainment and EA for patent infringement.
