Cons: Extreme load times, control is horrific, at best!
The Bottom Line: Crazy Taxi Good, Road Rage Bad! Poor controls and bad load times (pack a lunch) make this a disappointing gaming experience! Don't even rent this one!
waltwins's Full Review: Simpsons Road Rage for PlayStation 2
Where do I begin? Place the game in your PS2 and grab your GameBoy, you'll need something to do while waiting for everything to load! Honest, I thought something was wrong with my PS2 at first, load times are really too long!
Okay, the game's ready. Sound is excellent, with authentic Simpsons voices. Graphics are superb, like a Thanksgiving feast to the eyes, the only problem is, once you start driving, you realize "Hey, the turkey's not done!"
I bought this game and played it for about 1 hour, then gave up. Anyone, and I mean ANYONE who's played any version of Crazy Taxi will not like this game, despite the similarities! There's very few shortcuts and it controls like a bicycle with loose handlebars! I'm not kidding!
One thing I do like is the "Challenges" that will let you unlock characters, towns, etc. Unfortunately, I only played one of the challenges and that's when I finally decided to turn the game off for good! Let me explain:
The challenge I played was one where you had a limited amount of time to "run over" 30 newspaper stands. Sounds like fun! So I choose my vehicle, wait 3 minutes for loading, start the game, I'm moving along, doing well, and, suddenly, I'm stuck against this wall, a car behind me won't allow reverse, and the wall won't allow me to go forward! Game over. I play again. Yes, 3 MORE minutes for loading the same scenario, and I'm all over the road! Is it snowing/raining? No!
If I was a horrible driving player, I'd understand, but I played Crazy Taxi one and two for the DreamCast, and Grand Theft Auto III, and have had no problems.
Please, trust me! Do NOT buy this game! Do NOT rent this game! Parents, please don't punish your children by making them play this game, there are laws!
