Road rage was going to be a racing game, but they scrapped the idea and made a crazy taxi clone. The problem it was a blatant copy and the devs got sued by SEGA. As far i have read in wikipedia, they had to paid money to SEGA to dont continue the lawsuit.

Because it got a Crazy Taxi clone and a GTA clone instead, and they were both rad as fuck

>>330727723
>people praise plagiarism
what kind of fucked up world are we living in
>>
>>330727886
what did it copy?

the only GTA element of the game was the car "stealing"
>>
>>330727723
Your praise maybe.

It's a broken-er Crazy Taxi and it's less fun with the hammy simpsons one liners. I fucken hated it when i bought it for 10 bucks.
>>
>>330728129
that's Road Rage
>>
>>330728094
hit &run is awful dude, it's just a shitty GTA clone with unfun missions, very little variety and stupid jokes from the show all thrown together. it was a mess. road rage is the better of the two but even that one was shitty. they're the very definition of shovelware.
>>
>>330728195

I played the GTA version. it's certainly better that the CT version.

but it was decided by the higher ups to rip off a popular game for a popular franchise and make money for that.

hence shovelware. the game still had it's fucking issues with missions.
>>
>>330728289
what exactly did it copy from GTA other than the car "stealing"? Do you think GTA invented car stealing?

I saw this shit everywhere at discounted prices and it's a fantastic game. Bargain bin's aren't always riddled with shovelware.

I know you guys were like 10 when you played it but it's time to take the nostalgia goggles off.

>>330728820
muh nigga

I love shovelware bins sometimes. also Nintendo did shit to market that. "What is this a game about clowns?"
>>
>>330726719
Not a Karting game but still awesome.
>>
>>330729009
it's called Rip-off

as in taking an idea and calling it yours.

"Oh but GTA didn't make car jackings a thing"

No goofus, but GTA made car jackings in vidya a BIG MONEY MAKING SHIT. Simpsons faggots saw dollar signs.

Hit & Run isn't even really based around car jacking you stupid fuck

have you even played the game or are you just shitposting?
>>
>>330726451

Because they waited until they can do a GTA clone.
>>
>>330729726
disregard the areas of the game where its unpolished and broken, ok kid.
>>
>>330729813
>T rated GTA clone

Why even bother?
>>
>>330729826
This just in, there are areas in games where things don't work.

Wow, thanks for the heads up.
>>
>>330729976
Simpsons isn't known for dismemberment and gore, but actually it would improve the show ten-fold if they did.
>>
>>330729013

>that attention-to-detail all over Springfield
>references to early Simpsons literally everywhere
>fun cheats
>great soundtrack

Graphics were average, but Hit & Run is a legitimately good game otherwise.
>>
>>330729545
hope you're talking to yourself, I can't believe you retards actually like this shovelware.
>>
>>330730015

You literally justified broken content in games, with a passive aggressive shrug off.

Fuck you you're the kind of faggots that are turning gaming in goat sim sausagefests.
>>
>>330729976

Because the show itself is oriented to that age limit. No matter what game they were going to make it wasn't going to be M, so might as well do GTA.
>>
>>330730104
>attention to detail Springfield
I loved those bland neighborhoods with random landmarks from the show sprinkled throughout. that's true quality there
>references to early Simpsons literally everywhere

???

disgusting

Looks like we got a Family Guy fan here. The Simpsons didn't need to stoop to graphic violence because it had great writing. I say had because the show hasn't been good for more than a decade.
>>
>>330730321
b-b-but family guy

It's like the Shantae fags who pretend Shantae is a quality series and not shovelware.

Her little GBC game was always in the bargain bin shovelware pile
>>
>>330730321
hey if you had a bunch of shitty characters clogging your show making it worse, I would rather murder them outright in a snuff episode than just keeping them as background dressing.

no fuck i stopped watching trash. nothing can justify either show being on except dumb audience turnout.

I'm not justifying anything. I've gotten to the Marge section without any problems. Very seldom have I run into issues on other playthroughs.

It's a fucking PS2 game. They all have problems. What's the use in bitching? The bugs in this one only become frequent if you damage the disc.
>>
>>330730307

I guess you just don't like the game, or the Simpsons.

>fun cheats
>???

I'm not the one that needs to kill myself.
>>
>>330730286
I know, so why bother playing? I guess it's because I was in my late teens when GTA 3 came out and already had played the first two growing up so I just looked at it and thought "Why would I play a game with similar gameplay but nowhere near as good as GTA?"
>>
>>330730129
Guess shovelware is the new meme word. Can't wait for it to be filtered.
>>
>>330730492
Shantae never had a following back on GBC. that's why her GBC adventure is getting remade.
>>
>>330730596

Because that's the question you ask yourself for every open-world game that isn't GTA.
>>
>>330730627
Shovelware filters in Triple A Title

>>330730129
It's not shovelware. Shovelware is cheaply made garbage to make a quick profit, like all those minigame crap that came out on the Wii. You're confusing it with brand recognition where someone says "Hey, it's game about The Simpsons! I'll buy it regardless of whether it's good or not."
>>
>>330730958
You literally don't know the meaning of the word "shovelware".
>>
>>330730958
you're figuratively a joke that don't understand jokes.
>>
>>330730596
congratulations, you're retarded

Sports enthusiast bear definitely needs a karting game.
