This is the best Simpson's game. I rented it since it was a Simpson's game and they're all great, and I will buy it for sure. I thought it was kind of similar to Grand Theft Auto, and the rest of the reviews do to. There are a bunch of missions in each level and each level uses a different character. After failing a mission several times, you have the option to skip to the next one, which I like a lot. The game is all driving, so if you don't like drving, you may not like it, but you should since it is so fun. I highly recommend this game.

THE SIMPSONS GO GRAND THEFT AUTO!!!!

I just got this game yesterday and it is the greatest Simpsons game since probably Barts Nightmare on the SNES and Sega....This is not only a GTA replica but its also has a platform game touch to it with the double jump and coin collecting.... The Simpsons Hit and Run has everything, you get to play as Homer, Bart, Marge, Lisa, and Apu... You can walk into the Kwik-E-Mart, Moe's Tavern, and other Simpsons hotspots from the show. Being able to walk around is soooo cool because you get to see everything from the show if it was on the show it is in the game like the garden on top of the Kwik-E-Mart, the Salt Factory behind Springfield Elementary that melted the snow storm, the Nuclear Power Plant (even Homer's work station) EVERYTHING... and another one of the coolest things I really think is you don't only see unknown people walking on the streets but you see well known characters walking around like Lenny, Krusty, Lou the Police Officer, and alot of others thats one of many things that make this game really Awsome there is just to much in the game to tell you about.... if your a simpsons fan and even if you haven't really watched the show this is a really fun game a HUGE MUST HAVE FOR SIMPSONS FAN WELL WORTH PAYING THE PRICE FOR IT!!!!

This is an awsome Simpsons Game.It's preety much GTA in the simpsons, except theres no guns or blood. There 7 levels in which you play Homer,Marge, Bart, Lisa,and Apu.The missions are really fun except for a couple impossible ones,which you can skip (a good idea for a game). You can also do a lot of other things besides missions, like street races, and getting collector cards. You can change peoples look too. Its also cool because its almost exactly how springfield looks in the show, with the simpsons house, the kwikee-mart,moe's tavern and all of the other places. This game is very fun to play especially with friends. OK now for some of the bad things. The camra angle gets stuck. In some of the missions you will find your self doing the same general thing as another mission.There might be a few graphic gliches, and the multiplayer is just plain bad.Well thats about it,BOTTOM LINE:every character in the simpsons will be involved in the game, so if your a simpsons fan definetly get it!!If your not a simpsons still get it!!

Kick arse

Ok, this game is a great game, simpsons fan or not. Many people discredit it for its striking resemblance of the Grand Theft Auto games. IT EVEN SAYS ON THE COMMERCIALS ITS LIKE GTA!!!!! who cares. even if your not a simpsons fan, it has a great feel and has great gameplay. theres a couple of graphics glitches, not too bad. all in all, great game, buy it if you like GTA, no blood or weapons, so its not as bad as gta. BUY IT

This game looks like it's going to be amazing.
It's been compared to Grand Theft Auto only it's set in the town of The Simpsons. There are a range of missions and you'll be able to travel by foot and vehicle.
I'll definitely be buying Hit and Run.

This is a great game! It's even better than The Simpsons: Road Rage, with a cooler plot and almost no time restraints! Here's the plot in a nutshell: a big number of giant wasp cameras have invaded Springfield, and the Simpsons family (plus Apu!) are investigating. You also have to do a bunch of missions too, like buying cola and ice cream from the Kwik-E-Mart, racing Skinner to the school to deliver Lisa's science project, collecting Flander's 'lost' things, and that's just with Homer in level 1. Also, you collect coins that you find on the ground, and get when you destroy objects or set off a gag. You see, a gag is something that you can activate in gameplay, like in level 1 with
Homer, one of the gags is a swingset that falls apart when you activate it. Also, there are cards scattered around each level that contain information about different Simpsons episodes. ... you can take as much time as you want between missions to go around Springfield in your own car, a different car you buy with enough coins, or someone else's car you can just get into! ...But, with Hit and Run, the worse violence is hitting some people, with no blood, and they don't die. So go out and get this game, Simpsons fan or not!

COWABUNGA!!

The Simpsons is by far the best show ever created and now, to be able to play a Simpsons video game by driving around in Springfield is awesome. If your a simpsons fan youll have fun exploring the town. This game had great potential, they could have made it more interactive and added more missions. Hopefully they will release another Simpsons game. I would suggest waiting to see if they come out with another game, if not definetely buy this.

Best Simpsons Game!

I have tried the other Simpson's games ou there. This beats them all. While still based in the same driving theme as Road Rage, this game has way more improvements. You can actually get out of the car and explore Springfield on foot. Even the building interiors. Yes it is a lot like GTA, but I think it's way better because it has way more humor. Over ten thousand pieces of new dialogue was written especially for this game. In fact, the hardest part of the game is trying to finish the missions while chuckling over the jokes. And there are lots of neat features. Feeling a little destructive? Well go for it. Destroy property and run people over. You will eventually get nabbed by Chief Wiggums, but it only costs you a few coins in a very generous money environment. And there are parts of the game where your whole mission revolves around being a civil disobediant, so have fun. This Simpsons game way surpasses all the others.

I don't understand the negative reviews of this game!

First of all, let me state that I played and finished the PC version of the game using a gamepad and force-feedback steering wheel. Perhaps the Playstation version is not as good. This is a great game and some of the comments from other reviewers just plain do not make sense.

1) There is great variety for a driving game. With most driving games you are doing basically the same thing over and over. This game has 77 different missions (including bonus missions and races) with many of them having multiple parts. Each mission is different. Sure, most involve racing, smashing an opponents vehicle, chasing or escaping, etc; but isn't that better than driving around in endless circles? If you are fan of NASCAR, you should appreciate the variety.

2) The game is not just driving. There are all kinds of extra things that you can do that are not necessary to complete the game. However, Simpsons fans will want to explore all the nooks and crannies of each level. For example, there are seven "special" cards hidden on each of the seven levels. Almost all require you to perform a "Platform" type manuever to obtain and some are quite difficult. When you collect all 49 cards, a special bonus is unlocked. Also, there are numerous hidden gags and tons of dialogue recorded by the Simpson's cast.

3) The storyline is hilarious and pertinent to today's TV reality show fad. I won't give it away here but you must get to the end of level 5 before all is explained. Those complaining about a lack of story obviously didn't get that far. For those lacking in driving skills, misssions can be skipped to keep the story flowing. Yes, some of them are quite challenging but I was able to complete them all without skipping any.

4) This game is addicting. Several of my friends (some of them female) who are not video game fans, could not stop playing this game.

5) Unlike NASCAR, this game has nearly 50 different vehicles that you can drive; each with it's own handling characterstics...everything from Otto's schoolbus, Marge's Canyonero, Bart's Honor Roller, Apu's Trans Am, Snake's Lil' Bandit, Krusty's Limo, etc. etc. Yes, Bart and Lisa both drive cars in this game...Folks, it is a VIDEO GAME based on a CARTOON...it is not meant to be realistic!

6) The graphics are awesome. There are three different parts of Springfield that you can explore with many little extras thrown in for fun. Everything that you can think of is there, Krustylu Studios, The Duff Brewery, Moe's Tavern, Power Plant, Frinks Laboratory, etc. etc. You can walk around and explore the whole town. There are also many secret shortcuts that you can find to help you win races. All the main characters are present...Mr. Burns, Smithers, Prof Frink, Barney, Nelson, Milhouse, Cletus, Willy, Prin Skinner, Patty and Selma, Apu, and many more. All of them have funny things to say.

I don't know what more anyone could want from a Simpson's game. My only small complaint is that it is hard to perform some of the trickier maneuvers with a gamepad. One thing that I found that helps is to use the Mouselook option in the Options and then use the mouse to rotate your view so that you can make some of the jumps a little easier.

Ben D. says it's a great game!

Wow!!! What a great game this looks like! I had a hard time with it though because I bought the game and tried to open it with a knife and it fell into the sink with some laundry detergent and got destroyed.

I got a new one, though, but it didn't fit into the memory card slot so I had to go get a new controller.

Beans and tomatoes are good!
