Which is why, in short order, The Simpsons: Road Rage became a bestseller for the PlayStation 2.

It was fun to play, it was written by official Simpsons writers, it featured the voices from the show and it was the first game to successfully realize the characters in 3D. Sure, Road Rage was just a rip-off of Crazy Taxi - the fans knew it, the developers knew it, and the creators of Crazy Taxi most definitely knew it - but Road Rage was still a huge success. But then, in November of 2001, came The Simpsons: Road Rage and, for a brief moment in time, games based on your favorite Springfield family enjoyed a beautiful renaissance. A month later was the notoriously abysmal The Simpsons Wrestling, a game so bad that Matt Groening demanded his name be taken off the cover. In April came the forgettable Night of the Living Treehouse of Horror for Game Boy Color. While The Simpsons was in its golden age during the ‘90s, games based on the property were stinkers year after year and, at first, 2001 looked to deliver much of the same. Even if you have some misplaced nostalgia for something like Bartman Meets Radioactive Man, in your heart, you know it’s a bad game. Sadly, after that, things took an immediate downturn and for the next decade Simpsons games were terrible. The early exception, of course, is the 1991 Konami arcade game which wisely mirrored the playability of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles games.
