I slagged the Xbox version of Road Rage a couple issues ago, not for its blatant plagiarism of Crazy Taxi, but rather for its many gameplay issues. I kept my expectations low going into the GameCube version this month and saved myself the disappointment. This is the exact same game as its Xbox and PS2 counterparts, which means you'll still have to deal with irritating load times and janky collision detection problems (it's easy to get your car stuck on objects and buildings). What's worse is that RR still has very little in the way of depth. Like CT, the object is to make some dough by driving the denizens of Springfield around town. The faster you truck, the bigger the buck. But man, did these cats miss the point of CT or what? RR doesn't reward you for weaving through traffic, pulling off jumps or causing near-misses. In fact, there isn't much technique here at all. Leave out these moments of skill and all you've got is a very bland rip-off starring the cast of our most beloved animated series. Sorry Simpsons fans, this is not the game it could have been.
Apr 10, 2013 I been on the phone with Xbox four times already First they told me I could play The Simpsons Rd. Rage on the 360 if I had hard drive So I bought one and it didn't work and I called and they didn't know what to do Then they said that the game doesn't work on the 360 So I have a question does the Simpsons Road rage work on the Xbox 360. The Simpsons: Road Rage is pretty much Crazy Taxi, Simpsons style. You can play as more than 30 characters from The Simpsons television show, although initially you are limited to the 'ain characters,' such as Homer, Bart, Lisa, Marge and Grandpa. And who wouldn't want to drive Reverend Lovejoy's book burning mobile?
As a part of Microsoft's E3 2017 press conference, an expansion of its backward compatibility program was announced, adding support for original Xbox titles. While a growing list of Xbox 360 titles has rolled out for the Xbox One in recent years, the latest expansion will bring a whole new wave of nostalgia to fans of the program.
Microsoft has now officially unveiled the list of titles supported by the program at launch, ahead of the official launch on October 24, 2017. Each of the below titles will be playable on Xbox One hardware, with 1080p output, more consistent frame rates and improved loading times.
Note: This list is expected to grow in the months ahead as more titles gain support.
As of right now, Microsoft has only unveiled these 13 titles from the original Xbox library. With some complex technologies and legal boundaries to overcome as a part of the emulation process, only select games will ever see an arrival on the platform.
Let us know in the comments about the titles you're hoping to see join the original Xbox backward compatibility program next.
