Description
There's road rage, and then there's road rage Simpsons style! D'oh! Mr. Burns is up to his greedy ways again. He's purchased Springfield's transit corporation and heinously jacked up the fares. Refusing to shell out for the new rates, the road rage ensues. You'll take on commuters and jam-packed back routes, all in an effort to help buy back the corporation before time runs out.
More than 25 Simpsons characters climb behind the wheel or wander the streets begging for a ride. "Eat my shorts, dude!" Careen through timesaving shortcuts and take on terrain including hills, mountains, and forests. Wreak havoc in five Springfield neighborhoods that include landmarks such as Moe's Bar and the nuclear power plant. Busy traffic and wayward pedestrians confound your rage. However, two-wheel leans, speed starts, power slides, and other cool car physics help you release that rage.
Multiple game modes let you go head-to-head in two-player split-screen action that challenges your opponent in a race for the next passenger, or you can steal his or her passenger midride! Complete up to 60 unique passenger deliveries in story mode, or take a leisurely Sunday drive through the fair Springfield. A bonus system lets you unlock cars and specific characters, while intuitive menus make this game easy to play. As Homer would say, "If it's hard to do, it's not worth doing!"

Customer Reviews
Definite multiplayer fun
Road rage is a tremendous good time with friends. A clever twist on race car style play. The commentary of characters is on par with the series as is the hidden innuendo of locations and cars.
My only complaint is that the big cars (Otto's bus, the Plow King) are just not competitive. They crash well but never stand a chance against Krusty's Clown Car or Wiggam's ride.
Great game for many reasons. BUY IT.
Originally, I decided to go out and get 'Crazy Taxi' for PS2. They didn't have it in stock, but they recommended 'The Simpsons Road Rage'. I got it, and I am definetely glad I did. It's exactly like Crazy Taxi, but with Simpsons characters and levels. You can role play as 1 of over 30 characters, all with unique vehicles, and you can explore various different worlds in the game.
The object of the game is to earn 1 million dollars in order to stop Mr. Burns' transit station. This obviously is done by carpooling characters to various places. I found the game really addicting and fun, one of the best for PS2.
There are 4 modes. Road Rage, where you carpool to earn money, Mission Mode, where you can complete missions for fun - the good thing about mission mode is if you can't complete one, you move on to the next one. Then there's Sunday Drive, which is really fun. You freely drive around town, with the option to carpool character's for practice/fun. I like destructing the town though, haha. And last, 2 player, where you obviously go head to head in the game.
Overall, the game is awesome. 5 stars. Even if you aren't a Simpson fan, you'll like it. If you're a simpson fan, you'll absolutely love it. Get this game.
SIMPSONS + PS2 = HOURS AND HOURS AND FUN
Ths Simpsons, finally on PS2! This game rocks! A whole slew of characters, a great story line, real character voices, and tons more. This game is exactly like Crazy Taxi except Ten Times Better! The only reason it got 4 stars is because of the slow loading times. Other than that it is AWESOME!
Awesome
The game is very addicting.Funny phrases, especially Ralph with,"Take me home please, the leprachaun told me to burn things." You will have so much fun with this game. The problem is it gets boring after a while. My advice is when you play shut it off for an hour or two and then play again. Matt Groening (Creator) did a great job!! I give it 4 1/2 stars.
Great! Great! Great!
This is what crazy Taxi should've been. Classic Simpsons humor, great animation and cute storyline. It will have you hooked for hours! Even though the scenery gets a little tired after a while, you keep getting new cars and new experiences. Great game!
