The Simpsons: Road Rage is a score attack driving game for the PlayStation 2, GameCube, and Xbox. Mr. Burns has bought all of the public transportation in Springfield, and is powering all buses by nuclear energy. This is a threat to public health, so Homer gets the idea to create a makeshift transportation service with his family sedan, and the rest of Springfield follows suit.
The gameplay of The Simpsons: Road Rage strongly resembles the Sega arcade title Crazy Taxi, and the similarities did not go unnoticed: Sega sued Fox Interactive claiming that creating such a similar game infringed copyrights.
Completion Requirements[]
- Collect $1,000,000 total throughout all Road Rage sessions. Once this is done, you'll buy back the public transport from Mr. Burns and win the game. In addition, since characters and locations are unlocked by collecting money, reaching this amount means you will have everything except for one vehicle.
- Beat all ten missions. This will let you unlock the last vehicle.
Completion Tips[]
If you fail a mission in Mission Mode five times, you will be given the option to skip it; the only exception is on the tenth and final mission. Skipping missions does not prevent you from getting the secret vehicle, so it is up to you to decide whether you think the game is actually "completed".
Statistically, the most well rounded character is Homer in his sedan.
Due to the game being not as balanced as Crazy Taxi, there are a couple exploits that lead to "infinite routes", where you can make loads of money by driving the same customers to the same exact places. If you are attempting an infinite route, disregard any mission that has you destroying things; this spends a lot of time, and the time bonus is not worth it.
