The Simpson's Road Rage
released on Jun 27, 2003
A port of The Simpsons: Road Rage
This is the Game Boy Advance version of The Simpsons: Road Rage that was first released in 2001 for PlayStation 2, Xbox and GameCube. The game is based on the animated television series The Simpsons, and is part of a series of games based on the show. The game stars Homer, Marge, Bart, and Lisa, as well as Mr. Burns and several other characters from the show. The Simpsons: Road Rage is similar to Sega's 1999 video game Crazy Taxi, in that the main objective is to drive picked up passengers to their destinations as quickly as possible. These similarities led to Sega suing Radical Entertainment and Electronic Arts for patent infringement though it was settled before going to court.

the GBA visuals don't leave much to be desired and that's only because I can't actually see them well enough to judge their level of detail or lack thereof
destinations are hidden away in very specific corners much like this game should've been hidden away from the general public

crazy taxi but bad
Before the arcade game, before the Simpsons Game, before the Simpsons Movie, before I actually got into the series seriously, this was my go-to for Simpsons consumption. The GBA port of a Crazy Taxi inspired game that actually retained the Crazy Box mission madness from Crazy Taxi, but also had the Sunday Drive mode unique to this game which allowed you to explore the levels without a timer that I vibed with for hours, that shit was magical for me when I was a kid. I really enjoyed how the GBA had so many games that played with 3D visuals and this one definitely stood out to me with the size and variety of the levels.
Would be a pretty fun Crazy Taxi-like for the GBA if not for the fact that every destination is tucked away in some corner, requiring very precise braking in order to get into. It's so easy to end up circling around the destination over and over looking for a way to get in, a problem that Crazy Taxi simply doesn't have, or even the console version of this game for that matter. The missions are all decent fun as well as some of the other side modes but I just can't get over how fucked up the main mode is because of this one flaw.
