Raging at The Simpsons: Road Rage - Square Eyed Jak 

I can't believe The SImpsons predicted Uber.

"There's something wrong with my Willie." Dude, phrasing.

First game I ever played right here... I used to be absolutely terrified of the timer counting down haha.

Simpsons Hit and Run was definitely on of the PS2's best games ever for me, I'll always stand by it

Was thrilled to see you give the GBA version so much love. It was the version I played in childhood. I was always curious what I was missing out on with the consoles.

Simpson’s road rage: so crazy taxi that they got sued by sega

"DESPITE ALL MY ROAD RAGE , I AM STILL JUST A SIMPSON IN A CAGE "

"Thieves stole my save file" - Jak, probably

That new intro is just fucking smooth.

Nice to see Road Rage get some love, i feel its always forgotten behind Hit and Run

Can't get over how smooth the transition from the intro to the episodes logo is now. It's so good!

This and hit and run were definitely one of my favorites

Aw man, I honestly fucking adore Crazy Taxi. It's my relaxation game. I can basically just turn my brain off and plow through that game whenever I'm stressed out. Getting good at the advanced techniques also feels super rewarding imo.

"I became a millionaire by driving back and forth in Simpson's Road Rage" sounds almost like one of those crazy game exploiting videos.

Well, at least we got hit & run out of this so it lead to something good. Good to see you reviewing again, Jak! :)

I remember searching for this on Ebay and finding it for 20$. I was so excited and then immediately disappointed when I realized the game I really wanted was Hit & run.

The Kang and Kodos section is the hardest i’ve laughed in ages. Absolutely incredible stuff.

I've been watching your videos for years and man it's crazy to see how far your channel has come, I still remember watching your Spyro enter the dragonfly review and laughing my ass off.

I don't know why, but it's so satisfying to see you review some of my favorite childhood games and subsequently tear them a new ass. I love Road Rage to death, but it has aged poorly imo, and you actually helped me realize how much bullshit was present in the game. You always seem to have a nice blend of rage, creativity, know how, and humor when it comes to reviewing games. How you don't have AT LEAST 100k subs yet is downright criminal imo. You're awesome Jak, you're videos are always a joy to watch, and I look forward to seeing you make more awesome content!

My favorite intro on RU-vid, glad to see you posting on the regular again Square Eyed Jak, always enjoy your content, much respect mate.

wait, this isn't a racing game? whenever I saw the box art I thought it was ...all these years, I've been living a lie

Thrill ho! OMG 5/10!!!! I think that is the highest score I've seen on this channel hahah

This game made me never want to drive in real life when i was a kid 🤦‍♂️ cant wait for the Hit and Run review!!

I remember playing this game when I was a kid. A friend of mine actually got it twice because his parents thought Hit & Run and Road Rage were the same game. They got the right game eventually, but that was just a bit awkward. Anyway, keep up the awesome work, dude! It’s always a good day when a new Square Eyed Jak video comes out.

I grew up with both the gba and console versions and I think both are fun games but only in small sessions if I play for more then a hour I get exhausted and need to play something else hit and run however I can sink hours upon hours into

I dont expect many to care but crazy taxi does have a decent amount of depth to it that you can play around with in the home console release. Trying to get a high score while learning the various techniques you can pull off kept me satisfied for a few hours at least.

Simpsons Road Rage and Hit & Run were my absolute faves growing up! I really hope there will be remasters in the future 🤞🏼🤞🏼

11:12 - That ending was also in the Gamecube version.

As someone who was there when you live streamed this & when your top 10 ps2 memory icon video came out, I would've loved this 5 years ago. Worth the wait, thanks Jak once again

This is the type of stuff I keep coming back for. Great job!

I don't have time to watch this right now as I'm at work, but just I just jumped on to like it and write this comment. You're killing it Jake. Really like seeing your channel grow and the content you're producing. Keep it up cobber.

Another great review. I remember playing this game a lot growing up and I always wanted to fully complete it. Then the repetitiveness and the lack of variety always kicked in and I just got bored and gave up. Every time I try to complete the game, I just couldn't do it.

Happy to see you kicking ass with your reviews again! Oh, and that Marge part in the beginning was absolute gold!

9:36 You sir have found the ultimate speedrun trick in this video game. Although that infinite loop in Evergreen Terrace only works in the PlayStation 2 version.

All I’ll say is I’m glad Hit and Run was the Simpsons driving game I played growing up

love your videos makes me happy everytime i see that you uploaded ❤️

I fail to see how my younger self was able to 100% this game... three times. D'oh!

Criminally underrated content

I had both Road Rage and Hit n' Run. Like Jak said RR as well as Crazy Taxi are fun in short bursts but if you really want a fun Simpsons game, Hit n' Run is the way to go.

Did you record this on an emulator? Just wondering since I noticed a lot of flickering in the graphics (ie Marge's missing eyes, Willie's LSD eyes and shadow flickering) which are extremely common problems on emulators.

I'm so glad I'm watching your videos again, your humor is why I subscribed years ago 😂

Hit and run is still my favourite Simpsons game love the variety of vehicles and all the little details and collector cards, still find it fun exploring the massive levels to this day

Wow, what a surprise from my favorite buddy jak!

I actually enjoyed this a lot as a teen on the PS2, I'd actually love a remake (well more a reboot where they add a bit more content and ideas to it ideally, as I agree it's a little simplistic in game modes, and a hell of a grind to fully complete) - even as a kid I knew it was basic, but I still would have given it a 7/10 in the day.

Oh hey. It’s Simpsons Crazy Tax-I mean Road Rage.

So interesting... usually I have shared your experience with a console version and discover the portable version through your videos. This time, however, I happened to have grown up with the gameboy version and only played the console version a few times, when it was rented. I always thought the Gameboy port was fun, but felt the console one was better (presentation, 3D graphics, etc). Seeing the video though, it's clear that I just didn't spend enough time with the game to see its shortcomings. Great vid, like always. Cheers, mate!

"there is something wrong with my Willie" square eyed Jak 2021

Imo, better than The Simpson's Skateboarding

Your a legend of a channel epic video like always mate keep it up

Cant wait for simpsons hit & run review

Homer with three hairs always confused me lol..... but found this in my recommended great review and one of my most nostalgic Simpsons games! 👍

Just when I was looking for something good to watch!

Your videos are so well produced! That intro got me in just the right mood for this.

Despite its issues, I love this game 😁 Love the big selection of Simpsons characters to choose from and I love unlocking them as you progress through the game. To me this game is pretty flawed, but still a good time. The Simpson's Hit & Run will always be the best Simpson's game imo

GameCube version also has Kang and kodos show up

I personally feel Hit & Run did the Crazy Taxi style gameplay better, even though it took some very clear inspiration from GTA.

Did you know that Sega actually sued the developer and publisher of Road Rage for it being too similar to Crazy Taxi? No joke.

That new intro is absolutely amazing

A Simpsons review! Let’s gooo Jak! 👏👏👏

"That's the best ride I've ever had." Oh Willie I bet it was.

I guess this is pre-Maggie, because Homer has 3 hairs.

Marge in the Character select screen is 5-Volt from WarioWare

excellent content as always brotha

Raging at The Simps. Simps Road Rage. (c:

I’m a 21 year old who works full time and has his own place And here I am laughing to hard I fell off my bed all because square eyed jack said “there’s something wrong with my Willy”

It may be repetitive, but it is relaxing game. Also to mention the quotes by the characters, which are the best ones. My favourite area is Entertainment District, always earn the most in this one.

Absolutely love the new intro jak real good work there

This is definitely my favourite of the three titles of Simpson's run of knockoffs on the PS2. I guess a large part of that is because Crazy Taxi is one of my favourite arcade games ever. I can't agree with it having no staying power just because there's no progression or epic story or whatever. It'd be like saying "Tetris has no variation, it's not a good home game".

Loved the vid Jak. Keep going with what you’re doing 🙂

Man I growing up watching your channel since I was 10

3:19 "there is something wrong with my willie" same :/

This was a fun watch, glad Jak got to not only Review the Console Versions of Road Rage, but the GBA Version as well, which was considered better than the console versions, wish The Simpsons made more games like this, the quirky parody stuff, wouldn't mind it if the Simpson's made a full blown Kart Racer, cause I would buy that. 😄

Now we're hoping you review hit and run soon.

This game is basically why SEJ is always so angry when he talks of videogames

1:20 Crazy Taxi was a game that was first released in the arcades in February 1999 and was ported to the SEGA Dreamcast on February 2nd, 2000, got a sequel on the SEGA Dreamcast called Crazy Taxi 2 released on May 29th, 2001, and then got a third game exclusive to the OG Xbox called Crazy Taxi 3: High Roller that released on June 23rd, 2002. Keep in mind that the release dates I'm mentioning are the North American releases and the ones that SEGA published and developed themselves. The version on PS2 was a port developed by Acclaim that was released on May 17th, 2001 which is a whole 12 days before Crazy Taxi 2 on SEGA Dreamcast. The Simpsons: Road Rage in comparison to the first three Crazy Taxi games is by far the worst Crazy Taxi clone if I ever saw one. It's slightly better than the London Cab Challenge game, but that ain't saying much when it looks and plays like a complete dumpster fire that a skunk died in. I played the OG Xbox version of The Simpsons: Road Rage as my friend let me borrow it for a month and it sucked like hell. After the month was up and I had him play it, which he has never played before and once he did, we both decided to make a campfire and burn the game. Seriously, a bad game when even my friend and I both agree to set it on fire.

I still maintain that Virtual Springfield had the best map, it just had a good layout. A shame it was captured with pre rendered movement and the actual 3D map is gone. I do have some old memories of this game, I still own it too. I did like Crazy Taxi, but what I find funny about that game is that the sequel took the crazy hop from an arcade game called Taxi Driver. I doubt they knew that game did it first though.

I remember I painted my back yard fence to earn my ps2 back in the day brand new. My first game ever (which I bought with my own money) was Onimusha. I have no regrets. That game was amazing at the time and I dug the F out of it.

My memories of this game mostly seem to remember that money became slower to earn as you played, since I seem to recall that newer characters unlocked had a one-time boost per level where you got a bit more money for playing them, but repeated plays as that character would slowly reduce the money earned for that character. Though, I don't know if that was actually the case and it was just me beginning to slack/lose interest in the game the more I played because I wanted to get everyone unlocked, but I think the last tome I played, I just messed with cheat codes and changing my PS2 dates to see the seasonal holiday variants of characters because it was one of those games that acknowledged the day you were playing like Halloween and Christmas. Despite all that, it's one for the GameCube collection in the future since I don't own a PS2 anymore and any multi-console game I used to play, I try and get the GameCube version of.

I remember this game, i rented for gamecube twice, but I think never reached the million dollar mark. It helps I rented so I could experience in a few bursts. But I did have a lot of fun with the references and stuff.

Love the new intro! Glad to see more Jak!

Such a spot on review for both Road Rage & Crazy Taxi. I love them both, but have a hard time playing them for any length of time.

now we just prepare for the inevitable hit and run review

About Crazy Taxi: SEGA has always thrived with arcade titles, which is why the SEGA Genesis & Dreamcast are literally home arcade machines, and why some of the most famous & notorious SEGA franchises are either designed as arcade games, or straight ports of such titles. With that in mind, it's easy to see how Crazy Taxi would fare much better as an arcade machine in your local mall than as a console title. From the stiff controls to the very repetitive gameplay, all of that suits a chunky coin-stealer with a couple buttons and a single joystick much better than a PS2.

Glad your back jak!

My experience with this game was largely a positive one - but my circumstances made me basically the perfect audience for this game. I'm the oldest of five, and we'd play Road Rage by taking turns. This means my experience matched the one-session-at-a-time arcade experience that the original Crazy Taxi was meant for, as opposed to long sessions playing on your own, which the gameplay loop absolutely doesn't support. From that perspective, sure, it was a Crazy Taxi ripoff, but it was a good one, with characters I loved and was familiar with, and some funny lines in it. That's why I'm about the only person I know who liked it better than Hit & Run, which I thought had a fun story, but the gameplay in between always felt like a chore.

I loved this game out of necessity since I only had Road Rage and a used copy of the Jeopardy game at the time. Pure Stockholm Syndrome

Jak Radical were able to get the combined map to work on the PS2, one day after it shipped. Asked a Radical dev myself

So true about the map. The fact that they didn't even try to test the HUGE (during development) map on the Xbox and possibly delay said version is such a missed opportunity. Not a bad game by any means (especially when compared to The Simpsons Wrestling before it and The Simpsons Skateboarding after), but it definitely could've been better.

Le Square Eyed Jak!? What the hell is that!?

Ah yes! What an absolute game. Absolutely love it. One of the PS2’s finest.

Cant wait for the Simpsons Hit & Run Review, also cool video Square Eyed

Nice edit. Love how you make fun of those silly characters. Good video, cheers!

Great to see new content!

When I first discovered the GBA version I thought it looked like a headache. I guess that mostly applies if it’s blown up cause now I can appreciate just how impressive it is for a driving game on GBA. Also yeah I agree Crazy Taxi’s physics are really stiff. I never figured out how to get good or unlock more levels.

Milhouse is a demented child lol. Great video.

I love Crazy Taxi! I’ve got a high score of 96k on an actual Crazy Taxi arcade machine at an arcade and pinball bar!!! 🚕💨 lol 😆

Legend returns

Hi Jak keep up the great content!

I honestly get really happy when I get a notification for a new video from you.

10:30 I'm seeing double here! Four Apus!
