What can be said about The Simpsons that hasn't already been said, since there premiere in 1989 from creator "Matt Groening" The Simpsons have been a landmark in adult programming and Cartoons. The shows popularity eventually lead to a bunch of merchandise, commercials (most famously the butter finger commericals), magazines, and of course Video Games. The Simpsons made there big leap into the gaming world in 1991 with the arcade release of "The Simpsons Arcade", then later made their way onto the NES and SNES with games like Krustys Funhouse, Bart VS the Juggernauts, Barts Nightmare, Bart Vs the Space Mutants, Bart VS The World, and among many others. Well 2001 after the horrible "Simpsons Wrestling" we get "The Simpsons Road Rage" I looked at the cover and the game description of the game, and I could only think of one joke that sums up the entire game "Crazy Taxi The Simpsons Verison"

The game starts with a promising story and really wants to carry the tone and humor fans loved in the TV show to the consoles. The Simpsons are spending their family time doing what they do best, watching TV and bickering to each other. They learn through the news that Montgomery Burns has bought out the Springfield Busses, and has his company put radioactivity in them. Not Joking even Moleman says "Please Kill Me" not only that we learn that he is charging outrageous prices.
