    Although it's wonderful to drive around a fully realised 3D Springfield at breakneck speed in Otto's bus, we can't help but feel that things are a little formulaic.

    Hit & Run is so good at capturing the show's spirit and copying a great game ["GTA"] that it turns out to be real, honest-to-God fun for anyone who digs the show. [Oct 2003, p.140]

    The missions do get repetitive, what there is to do outside of the main story missions are the same race and collection in every level, and the controls are somewhat loose.

    Tries to avoid the woes of its predecessors by injecting some modern, albeit derivative, gameplay, but fails to really explore the platform it is built upon. As a consequence, this game is average at best.

    There's just not enough to do besides the main tasks to justify stealing the GTA concept ... the distinct lack of content reduces the amount of enjoyment you'll get out of it. Better than you'd think, but still very basic. [Nov 2003, p.118]

    Great game.
    First few levels are so fun and countless hours spent just messing about with the environments.
    All the references are perfect!!!

    A grand-theft-auto kind of game but with the old-school Simpsons humour, jokes, looks, music and references, it just never gets old.
