As most gamers are well aware, many video games that are based off of movies or TV shows turn out to be pretty big flops. Just take a look at Spiderman video games. Don't see them winning too many awards do ya? However, being a very big fan of The Simpsons, I decided I was pretty much obligated to purchase this game. I really didn't know what to expect before I started playing. If you check out the back of the package you will see a lot of driving stuff. So I was sort of expecting this to be a game that involved a lot of driving. Though much driving is involved, however, there is actually a distinct amount of platforming gameplay that makes up a lot of this game.  Read the complete review

I first purchased "The Simpsons Hit and Run" on its release in the mid 2000's. Do I consider it to be a good purchase? Looking back, I still appreciate this game for what it is and I am proud to have it in my collection. As a long-term Simpsons fan (I had a Bart Simpson cake on my first birthday) and after being disappointed by other Simpsons games such as Simpsons Wrestling, I have to say, this game was a pleasant surprise. This is a simple, yet solid little game that is by far the best Simpsons themed game I have ever played. The gameplay is its most major attraction.

The Simpson Hit and Run is by far the best Simpson game The game has over 50 driving and on-foot missions that are done in 7 huge levels spread out over the familiar Springfield landmarks from the Television show.

I think Lisa's level can be a bit frustrating because she is such a goody goody just like the show she ...  Read the complete review

The Simpsons games franchise marked the pinnacle of the Simpsons brand as a whole, when everything was covered in Bart and Homer. This was the culmination of the video game branch of this merchandising, and in fairness, wasn't a bad game. --- Summary --- The plot consists of you driving around Springfield trying to solve the unravelling mystery that is emerging - something is going on involving Buzz Cola, Aliens and memory loss. The game has a large number of cars that you can drive, as well as several characters you can play as - Bart, Homer, Lisa, Marge and Apu. You can travel on foot, or by highjacking a car. The game follows loosely on some of ...  Read the complete review

Grand Theft Auto for kids! This game is similar in ways to the Grand Theft Auto games without the guns an violence. There are seven levels in the game and seven Missions to complete in each level as well as bonus missions, street races collectables and things to smash!
