The Simpsons: Road Rage has been released for the Game Boy Advance, two years after its initial console release. The game retains the core concept of Crazy Taxi but with a reduced selection of drivers and cars, new playing modes, and unique graphics.
Players take on the role of a taxi driver, aiming to pick up passengers and drop them off at their destination within a time limit, earning money in the process. Bonuses are awarded for arrival speed and precision landing. Special objectives can appear during fares, such as hitting a certain number of cars or avoiding traffic altogether.
The game features two main modes: Road Rage and Performance Mode. In Road Rage, players must deliver passengers to their destination within a time limit, earning cash along the way. In Performance Mode, players are tasked with giving each passenger an exciting ride, taking into account their individual preferences for jumps, hitting cars, and roadside objects.
Mission Mode is similar to the console version, with ten missions that feature specific characters and goals, such as driving over objects or racing courses, all within a time limit. The game also includes a Head-to-Head multiplayer mode via link cable, where two players compete to pick up a single passenger and deliver them to their destination.
The game features 16 different vehicles driven by 15 Simpsons characters, with six locations based on those from the console game, but with some differences in track layout. Players can unlock more vehicles, locations, and extras, such as a car color editor, through Road Rage mode and Performance Mode.

In Road Rage mode, getting your passengers to their destination as soon as possible is the name of the game. You have to beat the clock, and avoid the other cars on the road to earn more and more money.
Once you select Road Rage from the main menu, you will be prompted to choose your character. You start out the game with the ability to choose from 5 characters: Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, or Grampa. As you play the game and earn more money, you will start to unlock more of the characters (15 in all) as found in mission mode.
You can compete on six different tracks in Road Rage mode. You will start the game with only one track available - Evergreen Terrace. As you earn more money, you will unlock the additional courses.
Available Courses:

•
Entertainment District
•
Springfield Dam
•
Down Town
•
Country Road
•
Springfield Mountains
Picking Up and Dropping Off Passengers
The object of the game is to pick up and drop off passengers at their destinations in as little time as possible. As you drive around the courses in Springfield, find the passengers. When you stop by them, they will jump into your car.
Once you have a passenger in your car, you need to get them to their destination as soon as possible.

When you drop off your passenger at the correct destination, you will earn one of the following bonuses.

“Destroy Stuff For Bonus”: If you hit a lot of objects, you will earn a ROAD RAGE!, an extra $1000, and an additional 5 seconds on the game clock.
•
“Hit Cars For Bonus”: For hitting a ton of other cars, you will earn a MAD TRIP!, an extra $300, and 5 more seconds.

Depending on how fast you reach your passenger's destination, you will earn one of the following bonuses:
•
If the remaining time is less than 21% of the Trip Timer, you will earn a SLOW and only gain an additional $25.

Performance mode starts with the passenger in the car. The driver's task is to make his passenger happy by earning bonuses and rewards. Keep your passenger happy as long as you can until the time on the clock reaches zero. After the game is over, a rating screen will appear to tell the player how they did.
There are several bonuses available in Performance Mode.
Hitting Objects
The reward for hitting objects differs according to the object you hit. No reward will be earned if the player hits the same object with the same passenger in the car.
