The Simpsons: Not a day goes by when
I don't think of a few choice soundbites while out and about... and my
TiVo
always records an episode or two because it knows it's my favourite show. Yes,
later seasons have been rather lacklustre ("Hey, we've won a trip to Delaware!"),
but before the seasons branched into double figures it was quite the delectation.
How best to describe this game based on the yellow family from Springfield USA?
Erm.. how about "Crazy Taxi with The Simpsons". Yes, that describes it perfectly.
As such, you get exactly what you expect - a 3D representation of the town with
all the characters, voiced by the regular cast, quipping as you drive about
town.
Of course, I started driving as Homer, but you can choose to be any major
character, starting with the family and unlocking the rest as you go, as well
as new cars and areas to drive around.
There's three ways to play the game.
Road Rage is the main one. Drive about and get your passengers from
A to B within the tight time limit. You'll occasionally get the chance to score
bonus points by avoiding traffic or hitting objects on purpose. Of course,
once your clock's down to zero then it's game over, and Krusty will rate your
driving.
In the Mission Mode, each character has their own missions to complete
which usually involves running a given number of things over as you drive about
in your respective vehicle, with one mission per character.
Finally, there's Sunday drive - the practice mode. Drive about and see
to your fares with no time limit to pressure you.
Graphically, with the
Jet Set Radio-style
cell-shaded graphics, it all looks and sounds exactly as you'd expect it to.
The camera also switches position to the roadside to see you leap big jumps.
Regarding the sound, though, I found once that after about 10 trips, the
passengers stopped talking at me, so there appears to be a bug in there
somewhere.
The Simpsons: Road Rage is great fun as you knock everything over whilst
driving, but I'd recommend a rental first given that, apart from the theme,
it's no different in structure to
Crazy Taxi.
