I slagged the Xbox version of Road Rage a couple issues ago, not for its blatant plagiarism of Crazy Taxi, but rather for its many gameplay issues. I kept my expectations low going into the GameCube version this month and saved myself the disappointment. This is the exact same game as its Xbox and PS2 counterparts, which means you'll still have to deal with irritating load times and janky collision detection problems (it's easy to get your car stuck on objects and buildings). What's worse is that RR still has very little in the way of depth. Like CT, the object is to make some dough by driving the denizens of Springfield around town. The faster you truck, the bigger the buck. But man, did these cats miss the point of CT or what? RR doesn't reward you for weaving through traffic, pulling off jumps or causing near-misses. In fact, there isn't much technique here at all. Leave out these moments of skill and all you've got is a very bland rip-off starring the cast of our most beloved animated series. Sorry Simpsons fans, this is not the game it could have been.

The Simpsons Road Rage has 16 characters that can drive 18 vehicles, and four vehicles with a holiday theme. Five of the cars are available from the start, and 12 of them the player must unlock by earning certain amounts of money. There is no particular order that the unlockable characters must be chosen. One of Homer's cars can only be unlocked by completing all ten missions.
You can also play as Smithers in Mr. Burns' limo, the Nuclear Bus, and a red brick with four simple circular wheels, with different colors. These can only be played with the use of in-game cheat codes.
