The Simpsons Road Rage for Xbox could best be described as a kind of
Simpsons-licenced Crazy Taxi clone. This is because Road Rage manages to mimic
just about every aspect of Crazy Taxi, primarily requiring you to pick up fares
and get them to circled areas before a timer expires. The game also uses the
same type of over-the-top physics that Sega used in its game, though moves such
as the crazy dash and boost haven't been "borrowed" by the team at Radical
Entertainment. Instead, Road Rage has buttons that simply control forward and
backward movement as well as a hand brake, useful for whipping yourself around
very quickly, pulling off 180 degree turns and other tricky manoeuvres.
