Didn't anyone say that...[edit]

This game got Player's Choice on GC, Greatest Hits on PS2 & Platinum Hits on XBOX? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.99.54.105 (talk) 00:39, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

This article really needs some work...[edit]

i'm going to be working on bulking out the reviews, and get some production developments included as well, just started with some quotes for now!

Levels[edit]

Since there are not too many levels, how about somebody listing these levels? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.131.65.60 (talk) 00:36, 13 December 2010 (UTC)

'Engine' is Crazy Taxi?[edit]

In the side-board, the engine is listed as Crazy Taxi. This implies that the game is actually using some Crazy Taxi sourcecode, which I don't believe is the case (especially considering the mentioned lawsuit.) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.171.191.60 (talk) 23:51, 28 June 2012 (UTC)

The Simpsons: Road Rage is a 2001 video game based on the animated television series The Simpsons, is part of a series of games based on the show. It was released for Xbox and GameCube. A Game Boy Advance version was released in 2003; the Simpsons: Road Rage was added to the Backwards Compatibility program of the Xbox 360 for original Xbox games. The game stars Homer, Marge and Lisa, as well as Mr. Burns and several other characters from the show; the Simpsons: Road Rage is similar to Sega's 1999 video game Crazy Taxi, in that the main objective is to drive picked up passengers to their destinations as as possible. These similarities led to Sega suing Radical Entertainment and Electronic Arts for patent infringement, though it was settled before going to court; the game received mixed reviews, being considered a bare-bones Crazy Taxi clone and criticised for its poor graphics. The Simpsons: Road Rage is based on the animated television series The Simpsons. In the story of the game, Mr. Burns has bought all transit systems in Springfield and has begun to create radioactive buses that threaten the public health.

Because of this, the citizens of Springfield must use their own cars as a means of safer public transport and earn money in an attempt to pay back Burns to get rid of the radioactive buses and return the town back to normal. The citizens of the city earn money by driving around a vehicle for a given amount of time, picking up passengers and taking them to their destinations; the player receives money upon dropping off each passenger, bonuses are obtained when they are transported in a short amount of time. Players have to avoid certain hurdles, such as Burns' nuclear transit buses; the game contains seventeen different collectible vehicles, six starting locations and ten 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. At first, the only playable characters are Homer, Bart and Grampa, but as the game progresses more characters are unlocked.

There is a multiplayer mode in which the two players compete to pick up the same passengers and drive them to their destinations. The Simpsons: Road Rage was developed by Radical Entertainment and published by Electronic Arts; the PlayStation 2 version was released first, on November 24, 2001 in North America, the Xbox and GameCube versions followed in December of that year. The cast members of The Simpsons provided their voices for the game. Voice samples original to the game, as well as one-liners from the show, can be heard in Road Rage. A version for the Game Boy Advance, developed by Altron and published by THQ, was released in North America on June 30, 2003. THQ reached a publishing agreement with Fox Interactive in 2002 that gave them the rights to publish this version and a Buffy the Vampire Slayer game. Germaine Gioia, vice president of licensing at THQ, said 'The Simpsons and Buffy properties have enjoyed tremendous consumer appeal in nearly every product category, including video game successes.

Both properties will serve to further bolster our leadership position on the Game Boy Advance.' In 2003, the video game developer Sega filed a lawsuit against Fox Interactive, Electronic Arts, Radical Entertainment, claiming that The Simpsons: Road Rage was a patent infringement of Sega's Crazy Taxi. In that game, the main objective is to pick up passengers and drive them to their chosen destinations quickly. According to IGN, 'Road Rage features similar game play, to the point where some reviews commented negatively on the parallels.' The case, Sega of America, Inc. v. Fox Interactive, et al. was settled in private for an undisclosed amount. By July 2006, the PlayStation 2 version of The Simpsons: Road Rage had sold 1.6 million copies and earned $41 million in the United States. Next Generation ranked it as the 25th highest-selling game launched for the PlayStation 2, Xbox or GameCube between January 2000 and July 2006 in that country. Combined sales of Simpsons console games released in the 2000s reached 5.2 million units in the United States by July 2006.

The PlayStation 2 version received a 'Platinum' sales award from the Entertainment and Leisure Software Publishers Association, indicating sales of at least 300,000 copies in the United Kingdom. The game received 'mixed or average reviews' on all platforms according to the review aggregation website Metacritic. Amer Ajami of GameSpot said that the PlayStation 2 version 'suffers from a number of problems, not the least of, bad collision detection. You'll find yourself clipping a corner of a building or slamming into another car though you have room to spare.' Ajami was disappointed with the slippery and overly sensitive control. Ajami added, that fans of the show should enjoy the game. IGN's David Zdyrko said of the same console version that 'the gameplay just isn't deep or compelling enough to warrant picking this title up unless you MUST have every single product with The Simpsons plastered on it.' Zdyrko criticized the graphics, stating that the 'framerate chugs in some of the levels when there are a lot of cars on screen and the textures are low resolution and bland.'

Zdyrko said the 'hilarious voice samples' were the 'lone bright spot' of the game, although he admitted that some of them can get a bit repetitive. The Simpsons: Road Rage at MobyGames The Simpsons: Road Rage at MobyGames

Sulmin is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Żukowo, within Kartuzy County, Pomeranian Voivodeship, in northern Poland. Sulmin lies 8 kilometres south-east of Żukowo, 18 km east of Kartuzy, 13 km south-west of the regional capital Gdańsk. Older versions of the village's name are Sulmink and Zullmin. Up to the turn from the 19th to the 20th century Sulmin had been an estate. Around that time the factory owner Hartmann from Langfuhr bought the estates of Sulmin, Hochkelpin and Nestempohl comprising an area of about 30.7 km² for 1.2 Million Mark for settling purposes. It had been expected. After it turned out that the military had no need for this terrain, Hartman offered it for sale to the Prussian settling commission for Poznań and West Prussia; the latter organization brought families of Protestant German settlers into the area, most of them being former colonists from Russia, to where they had emigrated a century ago or earlier and where in recent times they had been subjected to political pressure.

Other settlers came from Brandenburg, Silesia and Thuringia. In the framework of this campaign 95 parcels were generated in the area, 21 of them in Sulmin, 11 in Ottomin, 23 in Smengorschin and Hochkelpin as well as 40 in Nestempohl. In 1905 a school was built, the laying for the foundation stone of a new church took place, opened in 1906. Up to the end of World War I Sulmin belonged to Kreis Danziger Höhe of the German Province of West Prussia. Over the time span 1920–1939 Sulmin together with the village of Richthof was part of the Polish Corridor arranged according to the regulations of the Treaty of Versailles. During the period 1939–1945 the region was part of the Third Reich. At the beginning of March 1945, shortly before the end of World War II, the area was occupied by the Red Army. After the end of the war it was put under the administration of the People's Republic of Poland. For details of the history of the region, see History of Pomerania; the population present in Sulmin prior to 1920 was predominantly Protestant.

On August 15, 1907, Sulmin became a self-consistent parish. In 1938 the church books were in Löblau. Wilhelm Brauer: Der KreisKarthaus - Ein westpreußisches Heimatbuch, Radke, Lübeck 1978, in particular pp. 220–221

'Chances' is a song by Swedish pop music duo Roxette, released on 28 December 1988 by EMI as the first international single from their second studio album, Look Sharp!. The single was issued on 7' and 12' vinyl formats in Germany and Italy, where it failed to chart; the single was followed two weeks by 'The Look', which became their breakthrough international hit. 'Chances' is a pop rock song, containing instrumentation and elements indicative of hard rock and industrial pop. The album version has a length of four minutes and fifty-seven seconds, while the single edit is fifty seconds shorter; the song is performed in the key of E minor, is composed in the 44 time signature with an allegro moderato tempo of 118 beats per minute. The intro is composed of two repetitions of an E♭–D♭–B♭–C♯ sequence, each verse and pre-chorus consists of two sequences of Em–D–Bm–C; the refrain is built on two repetitions of Em–C–G–D, followed by an extended sequence of Am–Bm–Em–C–G–D. The basic chord structure of the first half of the bridge, which contains a guitar solo, consists of two repetitions of Fm–D♭–A♭–E♭, followed by a single sequence of B♭–Fm–Cm.

Upon completion of the guitar solo, the remainder of the bridge consists of a repeating F–Fm–Cm–Fm–D♭ pattern, followed by a single abbreviated sequence of Fm–Cm–A♭m. The song was one of three tracks on Look Sharp! to be produced by Adam Moseley at Trident Studios in London. EMI Germany chose to release the song as the album's first international single on 28 December 1988, following the Swedish-only singles 'Dressed for Success' and 'Listen to Your Heart'. Per Gessle commented that it was chosen 'probably because it was one of the English songs, not because it was one of the best; the single was a complete failure.' It failed to chart in the three territories where it was released: France and Italy. The single was backed by a demo version of 'Silver Blue', which appeared in re-recorded form on the duo's 1992 album Tourism. A music video was produced for 'Chances'. Directed by Jeroen Kamphoff, it alters between concert footage in color, black-and-white footage from a casino with Marie Fredriksson as a Black Jack dealer and croupier at a Roulette-table, Gessle as a gambler.
