While this is not the worst licence game, the task of reaching $1,000,000 is tedious, repetitive and boring.

The places where you can go to deliver passengers are Evergreen Terrance, Entertainment District, Springfield Dam, Nuclear Power plant, Downtown and Springfield Mountains. Though Evergreen Terrance is the only area available at the start, reaching a reward amount will either allow you to go to new places or unlock new characters.

The characters available at the start are the Simpsons family but as you reach the amount you will be able to unlock new characters like Moe to Snake with their voice actors returning to their characters.

Mr. Burns has bought the buses and has upgraded them to be nuclear powered. During the game the buses and Burns will try and bump into you which can be very annoying when you try to deliver passengers.

While this is a passable game, The Simpsons Game and Hit & Run are superior in every way, so play those instead.

I rented this game back in the day when it came out and had fun with it for a few hours before I felt the game got repetitive. This was not a bad effort considering it was an early-gen title with limitations but I thought the use of the Simpsons license was well done and driving around Springfield was fun and interesting despite early hardware limitations.

One things I appreciated over the obvious Crazy Taxi comparison is that this game allowed for more breathing room and thus it was easier to explore the surroundings.

replayed this for the RA set. this is still a pretty exceptionally shitty game. i feel bad saying that it has basically no redeeming qualities as a game, because games development is a harder process than i will ever be exposed to in my life most likely. on the other hand, none of the jokes land because they're all nonsequiturs/catchphrase one-liners/etc. and the gameplay has basically no depth. oh well. joke's on me because this is the second time in my life i've gotten the 1 million in this game. clearly something is wrong with me. Something is wrong with me.

Something is wrong with me.

Mom, can we play Crazy Taxi?

We have Crazy Taxi at home!

Crazy Taxi at home:

The game offers little in terms of depth. It has a vaguely addicting gameplay loop which is fun, but I don't know. Theres something about the voice lines that really start to get grating after a while. The controls are Crazy Taxi but worse - the whole 'through' and 'jump' mechanic is entirely gutted for this game and it shows, since the whole excitement of ramping up high combos and getting faster and faster and getting higher combos getting respectively harder was what made Crazy Taxi so timeless to begin with.

Not to mention, what are these Sonic 06 ass loading screens?

If you have access to Crazy Taxi I wouldn't bother touching it. Maybe for big simpsons fans, but even then its a mild one at best because the dialogue isnt real conversations so you get zero good moments unless the one liner happens to be funny.

Its a perfectly serviceable game which is fun to play and it was just as fun as I remember it being as a kid, surprisingly. The issue is just the lack of depth and the wonky controls.
