The game has often been criticized for having too many similarities toSega's Crazy Taxi, and for quite literally having more loading time than gameplay.

Mr. Burns has bought all transit systems in Springfield and has begun to overcharge everyone for the transportation services.
The citizens of the city (managed by the game player) must earn money by driving cars around town in order to regain control of the transit systems. The game contains 17 different drivable/collectible vehicles, six starting locations (five of which are unlockable), and 10 different missions. In order to collect the vehicles and unlock starting locations, players must earn progressively more money for each vehicle or starting location they want to get. In order to complete missions, players must do certain things (such as knocking down 12 baseball team mascots in 45 seconds or running into Gils within a time limit).
To earn money, players must drive around a vehicle for a given amount of time, picking up passengers and taking them to their destinations. Any of the vehicles that the player has collected can be used as taxis. Players have to avoid certain hurdles, such as other vehicles that spin out of control, rocks, flying street objects, Smithers's car, Mr. Burns' nuclear transit buses, and houses on difficult curves.

Simpsons Road Rage Unlock Characters List
- Artificial Stupidity: The buses in the game crash into things themselves, and crash into you all the time.
- Big Bad: Mr. Burns.
- Continuity Nod: Arguably the strongest source of praise for this game is the various winks and nudges to the Simpsons universe, such as various sight gags and the vehicles the playable characters drive (including the unlockable Mr. Plow truck).
- Drives Like Crazy: The point of the game, just like Crazy Taxi, is to drive your charge to their destination quickly. This can include destroying a lot of property as well as driving as dangerously as possible.
- Loads and Loads of Loading: Another major criticism among critics, other than its clone-status mentioned above. We're talking 50 seconds of loading for a task that only lasts for 20 seconds.
- Self-Deprecation: In Simpsons tradition. The game opens with a cutscene of Bart playing a game in the living room, to which Homer tells him that it's gonna rot his brain. The music from the game is also music from Road Rage.
- Take That: A subtle one: Marge claims after seeing Hans Moleman on TV that 'someone ought to kill him.' However, given the context (he was leaving an irradiated nuclear-powered public bus, and saying 'Please kill me...' as if in excruciating pain), it's likely that she was meaning someone needs to put Moleman out of his misery.
