The Simpsons Road Rage: Crazy Taxi
built 629 days ago
The most accurate way to describe The Simpsons: Road Rage is that it's basically an imitation of Sega's Crazy Taxi set in the town of Springfield. Montgomery Burns has replaced the city's bus system with a series of expensive, nuclear-powered vehicles, and the only way for the people to get their old transit system back is to come up with a million dollars by running their own taxi business. Just as in Crazy Taxi, the goal in Road Rage is to ferry passengers to their destinations as quickly as possible. In addition to the cash you rake in from each fare, you can earn bonus bucks for taking shortcuts and driving in a manner that reflects each passenger's personality. For example, if you have Bart in the back of the cab, you'll get a bigger tip if you smack into other cars on the way to the destination.

Simpsons Road Rage is a much funnier version of Crazy Taxi. The plot of the game is that Mr. Burns has taken over the bus transit system and has jacked up the prices, so it is up to you to deliver as many Springfieldians as possible in an allotted amount of time for some serious cash. As previously mentioned, there are six different landscapes to do so on: Evergreen Terrace, Entertainment District, Springfield Dam, Nuclear Power Plant, Downtown, and the Springfield Mountains. For those locations, you can use over 30 of the different characters available (provided you have unlocked them all), each coming with their own car. Marge has her Canyenero, Otto has his school bus, Apu has his sports car, and Professor Frink has a hover car. Each vehicle has different levels of handling and speed, so you may want to pick a different driver depending on which location you choose.

There's a plot to The Simpsons Road Rage, not that there's any reason in the world to care. That dastardly Mister Burns is setting up a franchise of unsafe buses in Springfield, and Homer cooks up a zany scheme to compete with him by taxiing Springfield residents around in his own car. The rest of the town gets in on the action, and, well, hilarity ensues.

The story is as funny as any Simpsons episode. Mr. Burns has bought Springfield's public transport service and commissioned nuclear powered buses. In protest of this, members of the Springfield community decide to become taxi drivers, in order to raise the $1,000,000 needed to buy back the public transport service and get rid of the nuclear buses.
