Official Fact Sheet:

Mr. Burns is up to his greedy ways again. Burns has purchased the Springfield Transit Corporation for $1 million and has jacked up the fares in an attempt to gouge the citizens of Springfield. Instead of paying outrageous fares, people are opting to drive everywhere, and the streets have become jammed with angry commuters. From Mo`s bar to the nuclear power plant, the good people of Springfield are now engaged in all out “road rage.” It is up to the citizens to earn enough money to buy back the Transit Corporation and return peace to the city.

The Simpsons Road Rage? blends renowned Simpsons wit and edge-of-your-seat racing action to create a fun, reckless and riotously funny arcade-style driving game. In this new interactive Simpsons episode, players can take control of one of 22 of their favorite characters including Apu, Barney and Marge, as they embark on the wacky, but skill-based missions. In order to earn enough money to buy back the Transit Corporation from Mr. Burns, gamers must drive through the city picking up passengers and taking them where they want to go. Players must drive like hell, crash through obstacles, dodge traffic or bash their way through passengers and cargo before time runs out.
