GAMEPLAY Another aspect of this game is “Mission Mode.” In this mode of the game the player is presented with 10 different situations in which the player must drive a different player and accomplish a task under the set amount of time to complete the mission. The missions vary in difficulty from easy to harder. They are a way for the player to see some of the different vehicles and other districts available before even unlocking them. They are a unique variation to the strictly “Road Rage” mode to this game. Most of the objects in the game that are located on the streets and in parking lots can be crashed into and moved. Some objects do move but they also have an effect on the speed of the players vehicle. Bigger objects such as light poles slow the vehicle down more than a shopping cart would or small tree would for example.
DESIGN This game has very simple cartoon graphics. Since it doesn’t require too many complicated graphics the game runs pretty smoothly. The game seems to be made through cel shading because the colors are all very simple and there are not many variations in the way roads, buildings, and other cars appear. This game is not very innovative because it takes much of it’s core elements from Crazy Taxi. However, it does use The Simpson’s franchise very well by incorporating different characters and vehicles for each one into the game. Another interesting aspect was actually mapping out Springfield into four different districts where players can explore for fun. However fun the characters and Springfield world may be, I feel that the game gets very repetetive rather quickly.

SUMMARY The game I played is called The Simpsons: Road Rage. The player drives around Springfield acting as a taxi. The player can control many different characters including Homer, Marge, Bart, and Lisa Simspon. Each character has a unique car. The further along the game, the more characters you may unlock; each with their own unique vehicle.
GAMEPLAY Mr. Burns, Springfield’s oldest villain, is up to no good again! He has put these toxic buses on the streets that run off of radioactive nuclear material his power plant produces. Many of Springfield’s finest citizens are coming together to fight off Burns and his radioactive buses by providing the city with an alternative means of transportation. In the introduction sequence, Homer steps up to the plate by painting “Homer 4 Hire” on the side of his car. Road Rage is a very simple taxi game. It mimicks several features of a popular arcade game: Crazy Taxi. However, in Road Rage, the player gets to choose from a variety of Simpson’s characters and unlock them along the way. Also, the setting of the game is the cartoon city of Springfield. The exciting aspect of this video game when I first played in back in high school was that it turned one of my favorite cartoons, The Simpsons, into an interactive world where I could take part in. If the player doesn’t want to take part in the Road Rage mode (taxi mode) of this game, they are able to play “Sunday Drive” where they can enjoy driving around the districts they have unlocked free of any time constraints.
