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 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.

7.5/10, B tier. It is really hard for me to hate this game as it is such a staple of my PS2 childhood. Whilst I prefer road rage for it's huge levels and crazy taxi like gameplay this is a game that will always remember and like on a personal level.

It is a racing game but you can explore the world on foot, almost like a GTA game with the ammount of things you can do. The world itelf is a perfect example of that from the show. All the locations feel natural and realisically laid out. The iconic places such as the house, school, power plant, Moe's, to name a few, are all really well realised.

The story is pretty cool as well, you don't really know we're it will go next and every Simpsons character is involved. I won't talk about it as it is just so crazy and interesting to see where it goes. You get to play as everyone except Maggie of course because she can't drive. Lisa easily has the best cars and Bart has the best area of Springfield, downtown.

The game is a great interpretation of the Simpsons that is very accurate to the show. The game is always interesting and has so much that fans of the show will love. That being said, there is one major flaw to this game, it is surprisingly one of the most fustrating games I have ever played. I have seen Jerma's stream (The first Jerma stream I watched) but even then I didn't realize it would be as bad as that, and didn't remember it being that difficult at all. It is honestly that bad and whist not struggling as much as Jerma it was a nightmare to get through.

The game is difficult in the unfair way, with timed races ( one of my most hated gaming tropes) having really limited times. You have do do races using nearly every shortcut otherwise you will simply not make it in time. As most of the game revolves around these type of missions it really does make it allot worse.

The other types of missions are not so bad, doing damage to and enemy car, collecting things on foot, but having to avoid a target is awful. The last mission of the game is almost unbearable. It combines all the fustrating parts of the game with having to race, avoid attackers, collect and item (that destroys when you hit something!), all in the space of a minute.

The only reason I got through the game was through advice online. You have to change vehicles for certain missions which makes the game much easier. Still the fact you have to do that is awful, especially as some missions don't allow you to, the last mission included!

Whilst having so many good qualities and was a game I definitely found interesting, it is a game I can't recommend purely because the game is so fustrating. It is still a good game but you have to go through allot of fustration and objectively bad gameplay to apriciate it.

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!

It's the genre we love to hate, licensed video games. This genre often produces some of the crappiest games ever made, one such victim has been the Simpsons, in which many a crappy game has been made about the show.

Now, the waters have parted, at last, A great Simpsons game since Konamis smash aracde game has graced us, it's name, The Simpsons: Hit and Run.

To put the game a little simpiler, it's Simpsons meets GTA, minus all the violence which made the latter a smash hit. But even without the violence, this is still a great game.

The best part about the game is the script and sound. The script is great, being penned by the shows writers and voiced by the shows actors, getting an authentic feel to the game, and the script is one of the funniest ever written, probably funnier than the Futurama script.

The games only fault is with the camera, it just happens to get in your way so much it's really annoying and destroys the game.

In short, if u love the Simpsons or love car-madness, get this game!
