This game is really fun...for the first 30 minutes.

User Rating: 8 | The Simpsons: Road Rage PS2
I do not know how many people here at gamespot own or at least played taxi for the sega dream cast. But if you do own it or you have at least played then you will find that the simpsons road rage is the exact same game. While the charecters and settings are diffrent the object of the game is the same. I didn't think taxi was a good game to begin with, so it would make sense that I would not like this game. But I do like this game, smoewhat at least.
First off the game objective is to pick up people off of the street and drop them off somwhere else. Easy right? Well, not so much. You see, there is a time limit and if you don't get the person to the specified place in time then you fail. Of course, you can gain time by smashing things and succsefully dropping people off. It is a simple formula that works, it keeps you exhilarted and excited. But after about an half an hour you will see that it is really repitive. I went back to all the courses and did all of the secrets but still my total gametime was about 5hrs. I was able to get more out of it by competing against my friends for the best time or playing multiplayer, which is fun.
The graphics and sound are the best part I think. Because it is a simpsons game, the setting is springfield. There is a lot of weird and absurd things going on and they all add to the games atmosphere. The sound is great too, mostly because whichever charecter your playing as or driving talks. The say some funny things (although after a while the reapet themselves).
