The Simpsons: Hit & Run

The Simpsons Hit & Run is the best Simpsons game ever, it is much better than The Simpsons Road Rage. In Road Rage There is not much to do you just drive people around Springfield and try to beat 10 missions. In The Simpsons Hit & Run there are over 50 missions they don't make them easy like Road Rage they make them fun and challenging. You can step out of your car and go on foot you can go inside the Kwik-E-Mart, Springfield Elementary, Barts bedroom, the DMV, the Comic Book Shop, and the Observeotory. there are 3 land forms the Suburb, City, and the Seaside area, each land form are packed with buildings and famous land marks like Mr. Burn's Mansion, or the Stonecutturs lodge of tunnel.

This game shamelessly rips off the Grand Theft Auto game engine. It works for this game though. Hit and Run has almost every simpsons character. You can only drive with a select few. The game takes around different parts of Springfield doing missions for certain people with different characters.

Marge, Homer, Lisa, Bart, and for some reason Apu are the main characters you can drive as. You can get out of your original car and get into some else's just like in Grand Theft Auto. You can't drive other people's car. They drive you around.

All around Springfield you can find little tie-ins to some of the episodes. As for design Springfield is designed just like I would have imagined it. The story is written by the simpsons writers. Its almost as if you were playing an actual episode.

While your driving around your character will say different things. Just like in Road Rage. While the lines that the character say can get a little repetitive, but they are still funny. Hit and Run is the best simpsons game to date. A sure buy for any fan of the simpsons

The Simpsons: Hit And Run was made 2 years after Crazy Taxi spoofing Road Rage way back in 2001. This one is more fun and challenging. I'll tell you the main gist of it now.

Characters- Pretty much every character from the show Plot- Play through missions on foot or on wheels as many Simpsons characters.

Animation- Blocky and aging, but still cute, colorful, and fun looking.

Sound- Psychedelic.

Buy this game. Definitely. It is great unless you don't like too much challenge in a car game, but otherwise play this good game.

8.5/10 or: B+

When I bought this game in 2005, I was honestly only following through because, at the very least, maybe it could be a fun novelty game. I had no idea what to expect -- I only conjured another Road Rage esque experience.

But what this is is a Simpsons reskin of GTA, and holy cow is it fun. I come back and beat this game again every couple years or so, and it never fails to provide a great time.

A true hidden gem!

This game is one of the best games in my collection of games. I had it for Christmas and it was excellent, after a while it wears a bit thin but still is excellent.

If you have not got this game yet (which you should have by now!!!!) then get it quick. I can safely say this game is way better the Simpsons: road rage. I mean, the graphics are better, you can go on foot as well as in a car and you go in any old car not just the one you start of with. You can also change your clothes, kick mechanical wasps and chase black vans. what more would you want in a video game and its all about the Simpsons.
