Let’s not beat around the bush 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. 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. An image found in early builds of the game shows a logo for The Simpsons: Racing, suggesting that it was originally going to be a racing game. However, this was actually just a placeholder and Radical Entertainment were reluctant to make a racing game as kart racers had become a sort of cliché in the early 2000s.Helgeson, Matt (December 2001).

Amer Ajami of GameSpot said that the PlayStation 2 version "suffers from a number of problems, not the least of which is bad collision detection. You'll often find yourself clipping a corner of a building or slamming into another car even though you have room to spare." Ajami was also disappointed with the extremely slippery and overly sensitive control. Ajami added, however, that fans of the show should enjoy the game.

A version for the Game Boy Advance (GBA), developed by Altron and published by THQ, was released in North America on July 3, 2003. [3] THQ reached a publishing agreement with Fox Interactive in 2002 that gave them the rights to publish this version and a Buffy the Vampire Slayer game. Germaine Gioia, vice president of licensing at THQ, said " The Simpsons and Buffy properties have enjoyed tremendous consumer appeal in nearly every product category, including video game successes. Both properties will serve to further bolster our leadership position on the Game Boy Advance." [5]

The Simpsons: Road Rage was developed by Radical Entertainment and published by Electronic Arts. The PlayStation 2 version was released first, on November 19, 2001 in North America, and the Xbox and GameCube versions followed in December of that year. [1] The cast members of The Simpsons reprised their roles for the game. Voice samples original to the game, as well as one-liners from the show, can be heard in Road Rage. In an attempt to add some variety, Road Rage comes with a few extra modes. We have Road Rage which is effectively the base game as you ferry passengers around Springfield. The faster you reach the destination, the more money you’ll earn with more time being added on to the time limit. Ajami, Amer (January 8, 2002). "The Simpsons Road Rage Review (GC)". GameSpot. Red Ventures. Archived from the original on January 28, 2002 . Retrieved October 20, 2021. NextGen said of the Xbox version, "It's strange. Crazy Taxi is great, and The Simpsons is great, so the two together should be gaming magic, right? Yet the result is less than the sum of its parts. In the end, Road Rage is significant only as the most shameless incident of design burglary in recent memory." [36]
