The Simpsons: Road Rage
About the Game
Almost two years after its release on consoles, The Simpsons: Road Rage was adapted for the Game Boy Advance. While it retains the general gameplay concept inspired by Crazy Taxi , it has a reduced selection of drivers and cars, unique playing modes and missions, and adapts the 3D graphics of the original to a Mode-7-style sprite scaling and rotation engine. The game's main mode is called Road Rage.
Gameplay & Core Systems
The second main game mode is entirely new: in Performance Mode, players select one passenger to take on and must offer them an exciting ride: the different characters' preferences for jumps, hitting cars and hitting roadside objects differ. They must be taken into account in order to take the passenger's excitement meter to its heights, resulting in cash being awarded. The Mission Mode is similar to that in the console version: in each of the ten missions, one specific character is controlled in order to reach a certain goal, like driving over a number of objects, or racing a course, all within a time limit. A Head-to-Head multiplayer mode via link cable is also available: in these, two players compete to pick up a single passenger and deliver him to his destination. Unlocked environments can be freely explored in Sunday Drive mode.
Standout Features
- By bumping into the other player, the passenger can be forced to switch cars.
- Simpsons: The game includes 16 different vehicles (driven by 15 Simpsons characters) and six different locations.
Modes & Ways to Play
More vehicles are unlocked in Road Rage mode, more locations in Performance Mode, and further extras (like a car color editor) in Mission Mode.
Player support includes 1-2 Players.
