    What Driver 1 and 2 should've been. Easy at the start, difficult towards the end. Complete with comedic writing, albeit it results in a shallow story.

    Unfortunately, I couldn't go through it all the way because of the bug. The button just didn't want to activate. You can understand that a game from 2003 and today's technologies is not a fact that will run.
    But mostly I liked the game.
    The gameplay is a bit monotonous, but interesting. I liked the technology of the machines. And the game is very reminiscent of GTA 3, known at that time.

    But the characters are drawn very funny and very different from the cartoon.
    I, who watched 20 seasons, liked the game. This game is more for fans than casual players.    … Expand

    Best Simpsons Game Ever Made or at least, my favorite.

    A huge step above The Simpsons: Road Rage and I like how it takes elements from the GTA series (like the radar, missions, stealing cars, driving around, etc), how many parallels it has to the actual TV series and an overall interesting storyline. I'd love if this game got brough back somehow (re-released, remastered or whatever).    Best Simpsons Game Ever Made or at least, my favorite.

    Fantastic! It's like being in Simpsons' shoes, experiencing what they feel, and living their lives. This piece of jewelry deserves a remake.

    I played this game for the sake of nostalgia at first, but I didn't think I would enjoy it this much.
    Visually the game ages surprisingly well since 2003, it still looks very acceptable, and not once was I like "Ugh those graphics", the 3D art style goes super well with the Simpsons franchise, and it always impresses... except when you look at their faces, the weird googly-eyed faces.

I'm really weirded out by the choice of making the cutscenes 3D cause it looks so **** bad and I would've preferred if they stuck with the series art style just when it comes to the cutscenes. Other than that, the game's main aspect is the driving, and thank god the driving just feels great, different vehicles feel different! handling feels really good and satisfying when you get it right, and you won't get bored with the driving since it offers a huge variety of really unique vehicles. The game has so much fan service and references scattered around every area. Speaking of the areas, there are variations of them. 3 different areas have small tweaks depending on which level you're at, these small tweaks consist of changing the time from day to night, and the last level to a Halloween setting. There are 5 different and well-loved characters you'll get to play. The missions consist of the same 4 concepts: Race, destroy the car, collect items, and tail a car. Those same missions could be considered repetitive but the driving mechanics really make up for it. Don't think this game is easy, nah this is one tough **** to beat, especially the last level which took me more than 40 mins. Overall a really unexpected enjoyable experience from what was planned to be just a nostalgia trip. Took me 11 hours to beat with collecting some stuff.    … Expand

    This Game Really Deserves To Be Remake With Love If it Does I Think They Could Use The Old Map Leyouts As Originally In The Early 2003 Development Of The Game

    An odd game that is much more enjoyable than you would think.
    Most licensed games suffer from lack of vision and the original writers helping with the production. The Simpsons Hit & Run is not that kind of game. With the original writers and voice actors present in the game, this is the best Simpson game out there. The game is based on the GTA series with similar mechanics and gameplay,    An odd game that is much more enjoyable than you would think.

The game is based on the GTA series with similar mechanics and gameplay, only set in the town of Springfield. The dialogue is brilliant and the gameplay is fairly solid with the main theme being set around driving cars that are easily recognisable from the show itself. The game has it's few issues with some missions being a little too difficult in some places and coin collecting is extremely painful to do. Otherwise, this is a solid game and worth the play if your looking for something based on The Simpsons.
    If you get bored, this game has a massive modding community that include complete overhauls of the game like the Donut Mod, making the game infinitely more playable.    … Expand

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

    Simpsons Hit and Run is an enjoyable game with many great aspects to it. The gameplay is similar to the Grand Theft Auto series in mission structure and mechanics. Although there are no guns or blood and the combat is melee based. You play in a semi-open world, which is broken into sections. You use many vehicles to complete missions and navigate the world.

Although there are no guns or blood and the combat is melee based. You play in a semi-open world, which is broken into sections. You use many vehicles to complete missions and navigate the world. This is the bulk of the gameplay, hence the title "Hit and Run" It is a sequel of sorts to Simpsons Road Rage but more open ended. There are also collectibles hidden around each area of the world. These include things such as Collector Cards, each of which has a reference to an episode of The Simpsons. There are unlockable vehicles, which you have to purchase with Buzz Cola Coins and can earn through races and side missions. This game is packed full of content and is faithful to the source material. The game was made with Matt Groening involved to give you the authentic Simpsons humour and charm. It has all the original voice cast reprising their roles and feels like you are playing a season of the Simpsons. The voice actors apperently even did a whole season of voice work for this game There are many secrets and jokes around the map that you will see if you are a Simpsons fan and the humor and charm will give you a good chuckle at times. It is a great alternative if you don't let your kids play Grand Theft Auto and they keep asking to. In conclusion, this game a must have game whether you are a Simpsons fan or not.… Expand

    This game may not be very vast or big but the experience is a mix of nostalgia and pure greatness. I loved playing this game because it felt like an episode and you were just pulled into the story and could not get out. It felt dark and scary when we made it to the night areas Apu's storyline was the strongest and the most climatic to me. Overall this game is good with a great story

    Este jogo floresceu em 2003 e até hoje me parece um arcade contemporâneo, Além de seguir fielmente o desenho e o carisma individual, possui uma ótima variedade de carros e de fases muito bem projetadas. O jogo se inicia com Homer e termina com Homer, mas isso não te tira o prazer de jogar com a família Simpsons. É muito bom relembrar velhos tempos, ainda mais com jogos neste nível.

    Easily one of the greatest TV licence video games of all time and definitely the best Simpsons game of all time. It is just a really fun game with awesome and unique cars along with solid level design and plenty of missions with variety and fun objectives with a ton of replay value. Simply a brilliant game.

    This is probably the best Simpsons game ever made. Simpsons Hit & Run brings back so much memories to my childhood. The game is a parody on one of the best games ever made GTA, see because the town where you are playing as Bart and Apu, it reminds me of Liberty City (GTA III) and the mission with Lisa, the big beach place reminds me of Vice City.

    A must purchase for a child interested in but forbidden to play GTA 3, Hit and Run also appeals to the avid or casual viewer of the show who might be looking for something entertaining that retains actual gameplay.

    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.
