    Let me say that I am a huge Simpsons fan. This game is kinda like a tame GTA. It's enjoyable with all the best Simpsons fan. It also has homage to some of the episodes with missions like obtaining a copy of Bonestorm. It's a enjoyable game with a cool array of vehicles. It's worth a play through or even more.

    Hi, my reviews work on a 3 way system, i rate graphics, audio/sound, gameplay. then i have an overall rank for each game i review Graphics: It's like watching the cartoons. Looks awesome, no complains (9/10)

    Audio: The Music is fitting and sounds good. however there are a lot of one liners in Simpsons Hit & run. And the sound effects are somewhat repetitive(6/10) Gameplay: The game runs    Hi, my reviews work on a 3 way system, i rate graphics, audio/sound, gameplay. then i have an overall rank for each game i review Graphics: It's like watching the cartoons.

    Audio: The Music is fitting and sounds good. however there are a lot of one liners in Simpsons Hit & run.
    And the sound effects are somewhat repetitive(6/10)

    Gameplay: The game runs Well about 85% of the time which is consisting of a great open world, a fun "grand theft auto" aspect and an awesome 1 player experience. the other 15% is a mixed bag of Bad multiplayer, infuriating reverse controls, bad platforming and a bad camera the works well about 60% of the time. but overall it is good. (7/10)

    Overall: this game plays good with more pros than cons. Simpsons Hit & Run gets a 7/10    … Expand

    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]

    Very fun and very funny; it deftly satirizes Grand Theft Auto while being almost as entertaining, and it even improves on several aspects of GTA's gameplay (instant mission restarts, a superior guidance system, and an easily accessible collection of vehicles).

    The writing and extreme sense of humor will definitely get fans turning their heads and exploring every inch of every level. There's a good 15-20 hours available in this title and any Simpsons fan should cherish every minute.
