I bought it because I wanted something the wife would play, and something that didn't involve killing people (so my kid could watch).
This game was just as fun when I played it a few months ago. Only then it was on my old Dreamcast, and it was called "Crazy Taxi 2." Like Crazy Taxi 2, The Simpsons has a timed game where you pick up and deliver passengers. They also have a non-times game, where you can drive around and do whatever you want for as long as you want. They also have a challenge section, where you go to new locations to do odd challenges.
I preferred the music on Crazy Taxi (Offspring and Bad Religion), but there are a lot more characters (17 instead of 3 or 4) in The Simpsons, and each character has a unique car.
I passed all 10 challenges farily quickly and earned that big green monstrocity that his brother's car company designed for Homer.
The game is a slow burn. That is, it's not really exciting, but it should be playable for years. It's sort of like watching Predator for the fortynineth time. You've seen it a million times already, but you've got nothing else to do so you tun into TBS and watch it while flipping through a magazine and picking lint out from between your toes.
