This is the best Simpson's game ever! Simply put, unlike Road Rage, you can actually get out and walk instead of being trapped in one of those boring cars. I thought the repetitiveness was fine. And, being a player of Jak II, I found the difficulty fine. Buy this game if you are a Simpson's fan, and buy it if you aren't.

The gameplay is repetitive, the controls are loose, some of the missions are too simple, some of the missions are too tough, the map system could be better, umm...and some other stuff. This can be very frustrating at times but if you're a Simpsons fan it's a must have. The best part is exploring Springfield.

Simpsons Hit and Run was one of the most fun games I have ever played. The gameplay was adequate, the graphics were killer, and it was just awesome. The only part that aggravated me was the difficulty of the missions. Once you get to level 5 or 6, the missions become almost immpossible, like "Never Trust a Snake", in which at first you have to follow a garbage truck and collect garbage. Then, you have to collect 30 garbage bits in a very short amount of time. Level 6 and 7 took me about 4 to 6 hours each to complete. But, overall, this game is awesome. I would definetely recommend to a friend.

A lot of the Simpsons games have been bad immitations of other games, such as The Simpsons Skatboarding or Road Rage which were immitations of Tony Hawk and Crazy Taxi. This game (which I think the fans have been waiting for) is a GTA clone. And a surpriseingly good one, too. The fans will have an awesome time. They will see characters, places, and more from the show. The story was done by the actual writters of the show and they put the real voice-actors from the show in there, too. The cars handle well with the D-pad but can feel weird with the analog stick. The humor is funny, too. They got the voice-actors to say some pretty hilarous stuff if you crash or run too long. It's funny, but can get repeative. I do have some complaints. The camera when you are on foot can get wonky if you are near an object or building, and the missions later in the game require you to have very good memorization of the area. So restarting your current mission for the 15th time because you forget there is a left turn is very annoying. Overall, this game will please the fans and the causal gamer, but hardcore gamers are better off getting an actual GTA game. 3 out of 5 for me.

Grand Theft Auto: Springfield

Saying "the best Simpsons video game" used to be kind of like saying "the best-smelling sewer" ... the franchise had consistently horrible play control and graphics, terrible game design, and no real understanding of the Simpsons characters or why anyone would want to step into their shoes. Above all, it never seemed to occur to them that, rather than just copying popular games and sticking the Simpsons into them, they should find a genre actually appropriate for the characters.

Well, Simpsons Hit & Run still doesn't quite give you the experience of "playing an episode" that the fans really want, but it's as close as they're likely to get.

Strange security cameras have appeared all over Springfield, and the Simpson family is drawn by a series of coincidences into investigating them. As Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, and for some reason Apu explore the city, they find that the whole town is going crazy, and it's up to them to stop it. The investigation consists of several chapters, each chapter consisting of a variety of missions for the same character. These missions usually (but not always) involve skillfully driving a variety of vehicles through the streets of Springfield, either racing the clock, collecting objects, or forcing an enemy vehicle to stop.

If this sounds a little familiar, it's because it is. This is the Simpsons version of Grand Theft Auto (and, thus, a great alternative for parents who are looking for a version of that game that doesn't involve selling drugs and murdering people). The Simpsons still steal cars pretty freely, but it's for the good of the town, and running someone over or wreaking too much havoc results in an unwelcome visit from Police Chief Wiggum.

The good side? The game's playable, fun, and it's the first Simpsons game that kind of makes you feel like you're actually in Springfield interacting with these characters. The control is good both on foot and in the car, and the mystery actually makes a lot of sense. It's also fun to see Springfield landmarks going by, and to notice all the references to classic episodes. You can get hilarious new outfits for many characters, and even take time between missions to find other Easter eggs.

The bad side? Some missions are repetitive and annoying, and you can fail at them due to pure bad luck. You're allowed to skip missions, but doing so also skips the cinemas that follow them, leaving gaps in the story. The game is also fairly short, and because each section of Springfield is cut off from the rest it feels less like a single town and more like four separate towns. Certain places that I was really looking forward to fooling around in (like Moe's) are also surprisingly empty and lackluster. A lot of the cars, too, are boring and too similar to one another -- unlike GTA they weren't restricted to reality, and I expected these vehicles to handle much more differently from each other than they do.

Overall, I'd recommend this to anyone looking for a less brutal (or easier) version of Grand Theft Auto, or to any Simpsons fan. This is as close as they've ever come to letting us step into the TV and be part of an episode.

Awesome game!!
