THE GOOD:
Funny quotes.
Umm, err, hmm, you get the cops to chase you.
Smashing cars are pretty good.

THE BAD:
The peoples you kick don't die.
The missions at the last few levels are too hard.
This is pretty short.

SUMMARY:
Lastability: 6/10.
Good replay value, although there are no rewards for finishing missions.

Graphics: 4/10.
Looks weird for PS2 but still okay graphics. Then, I guess it was okay.

Sound: 8/10.
THANK YOU! The Simpsons' actual voices are in this. And I like the sound of a car blowing up and some other stuff.

Gameplay: 5/10.
What it simply is is Homer has to go to work and finds out about the Fly Cameras. Then Bart, with Professor Frink's help, gets the Truckosaurus living but Bart gets invaded by aliens. Then Lisa has to rescue Bart. Marge tries to make Bart speak normal. Apu then tries to find out who abducted Bart. Then Bart...

THE GOOD:
The Missions - start easy but become challenging

The Graphics - wonderfully recreated in a lush Springfield

The real voices - every character could easily be recognised by the insanely brilliant cast of the Simpsons , each with legendary quotes through-out

The excellent animations - nice little cut animations through-out

The longitivey - with extras such as cameras to destroy and cards to collect , this is nearly a game in itself

The range of characters - every major character (and a lot of minor ones too) is here to complete a wonderful game

THE BAD:
Becomes quite repetetive
Suprisingly difficult in the latter stages

SUMMARY:
The game is basically GTA in Springfield. Everything is here , from general kicking/punching and carjacking , and every Simpsons character (and several others are excellently recreated with their legendary quotes and the like .Don't be fooled by the exterior ,...

THE GOOD:
The graphics
The missons
The storyline
The level structure
The humor
The collector cards
The costume change feature

THE BAD:
final level difficulty

SUMMARY:
This game is SO fun! For what Hit&Run is, it's really a complete game, plus it's absurdly fun! So, where to start...?
Well, the places in springfield are shaped for fun exploring and driving, and are SO vast, it'll take you some time just to get all the way through, So it stays fun and exciting.
You also have the "Hit and run!" meter where you can attract the attention of the police. At that point, it's up to you to run from the law! If you get caught, you get a 50 coin fine. It really makes you feel alive when you're in hit and run mode though.
The storyline is perfectly sculpted using what the writers had. They used the characters perfectly for humor and a cool storyline which makes hit and run not just any other simpson game anymore.
It has the...

THE GOOD:
- It's the Simpsons. For real.
- It's hillarious.
- Entertaining missions.
- Diverse maps of Springfield.
- Great, fun music.
- Absolutely crazy cars, and they're all great.
- Nice, solid graphics that capture the spirit well.
- So much to do, so little time.
- Did I mention that it's the Simpsons? For real?
- Better than "Grand Theft Auto".

THE BAD:
- Overwhelmingly big.
- Slow movement on foot.
- Repetative mission styles.
- Repetative jokes soon makes them annoying.

SUMMARY:
"The Simpsons" is a work of genius. Anyone who disagrees is wrong... sorry, but they are. The difficulty with such a great thing, however, is translating that outstanding success into the video game world. For an example of how not to do this, look at "Tomorrow Never Dies" on the PSone and the countless games from Disney that, quite frankly, seem to be made for the bargain bins of GAME. For an example of how to do it,...

THE GOOD:
-Great Voice Acting
-A more creative idea for a game
-Freedom
-Walk around as well as drive
-Very destructible environment

THE BAD:
-To easy
-Repetitive
-Aimed at the younger Simpsons fans

SUMMARY:
The Simpsons Hit & Run is a great game and has done an excellent job re-creating the town of Springfield. In addition to the very destructible environment and superb voice acting this game will have you laughing in no time.

Having said that however this game does come short in many areas. The first being that this game is far to repetitive, it seems that all you do is drive from one place to another, after an hour I became extremely bored from just driving from one place to another.

I also found this game to be a little bit to easy, it seems a to be based more at the younger Simpsons fans and doesn't really cater for older fans (such as myself). This was mainly represented in the games difficulty more than...

THE GOOD:
+Great voice-overs
+More Freedom (E.G:Car-jacking, able to get out of the car)
+Very funny comments!

THE BAD:
-Camera dodgy
-Controls are again dodgy
-Very repetertive
-Mini-games

SUMMARY:
Hit & Run is a great game, nearly. Much better than the past two Simpson games(Skateboarding and Road Rage). Thumbs up for the exploration/More freedom part and the voice overs. But it can get repetertive, 1 mission could be collect 10 batterys and then 5 missions later collect 10 blue monkeys, same style you see!?!

But the worst thing is the mini-games, birds-eye view is extremerly rubbish, i couldn't stand it.

The camera and controls are rather dodgy and it seems so slow

But lets end on a good thing. Homer Simpson. He must be the 2nd funniest character in a video game (1staxter from Jak and daxter) One comment is: Find Flanders stupid picture of his stupid family and...

THE GOOD:
  • Funny comments
  • Exploring springfield
  • Lots of different costumes

    THE BAD:

  • Easy Game To Complete
  • Unlockable Mini Games

    SUMMARY:
    Simpson Hit And Run is a GTA type of game. Where you go around Springfield doing what you please. So this is really a kiddie verion of GTA but dont that make you thing its rubbish. Cos its not.

    Having 7 levels with 84 mission aswell as bonus missions and story mission Simpsons Hit And Run is not a game to be thought as a Grand Theft Auto mimic. Having 5 playable characters which are Homer, Bart, Lise, Marge and Apu your aim is to stop the aliens from destroying Springfield.

    But this game is a game for younger vieweres so the game is relitavly easy to complete and wont take too long to do so either. But if your looking for a proper game like Simpsons Hit And Run you should be buying the Grand Theft Auto games as they are more gruesome.

    Being able to...

    THE GOOD:
  • Primarily aimed at Simpsons' fans. With great results, too.
  • 5 playable characters and costume-swapping (just don't ask how Apu got in there).
  • Yes, you can run people over - you sick little puppie - but no, they don't actually die. Shame? Well...
  • Springfield brought to life in proper 3D justice.
  • As you'd expect, real-character voices and phrases. Funny stuff.
  • A nice selection of motors, but no bikes or planes etc., which would've added a great element to the already efficient gameplay.
  • Lots of missions...
  • THE BAD:

  • But they seem to be oddly focused around Comic Book Guy, and they're all the same, really. Just with different scenarios. And yes, that DOES get repetetive.
  • At times, too easy, dude.
  • Borrows heavily from other games, and sometimes, doesn't manage to hold its own.

    SUMMARY:
    Okay, so really, you've not got to be skeptical when it comes to 'Simpsons...

    THE GOOD:
    its based on the simpsons, the graphics, the vechiles.

    THE BAD:
    nothing really.

    SUMMARY:
    A great game until completed then it becomes boring as with most games. Its great fun and it follows many of the episodes from tv.
    There are loads of crazy cars and characters from the simpsons to chose from.
    A great game to player I would recommend it.

    thanx for readin

    THE GOOD:
    Good graphics<br>Fine car damage<br>Tons of cars<br>Cars have proper strenghs<br>Now the gags are coming on<br>You can play as the whole Simpsons family (no not Maggie) and Apu<br>All the voices are there<br>Nice touches that Simpson fans will like<br>Special extras<br>You can now enter some buildings

    THE BAD:
    Far from a tough game<br>Crap unlockable minigames<br>Some missions you couldn't be bothered with

    SUMMARY:
    This is a good Simpsons title. Developers Radical, copy lots of games and now a GTA clone. Before you get too excited, there is no guns or swearing but you can now drive any car you see. Yep, it's as simple as hitting triangle when you are next to a car. The cars are great. For starters, you can drive cars like the Plow King and Krusty's limo. There's tons and quite a lot cars you have seen in the episodes. Cars also have proper strenghs and weaknesses. For...
