About The Simpsons: Hit & Run

Strange wasp-shaped spy cameras, shady black vans lingering about, and a brand new flavor of Buzz Cola that everyone seems a bit too excited about. What could it all mean?

Find out as you take to the streets as America's most beloved dysfunctional animated family: The Simpsons! In this timeless action-adventure game, you can work to uncover the conspiracy taking place in Springfield while playing as these beloved characters.

As you progress through the game, you'll explore 3 unique areas of Springfield made up of many locations from the show. You can ride around in style with a memorable array of vehicles from the show or take a walk around on foot. You'll stumble into adrenaline-pumping story missions, take part in some fast paced street races and help out some of the townsfolk in bonus missions. Around every corner there's pesky wasps to be destroyed, collector cards to find and secret gags to uncover.

    The nostalgia carries this one hard... I just wish people separated that from actual quality more often.

    Irma_76

    Same, minus the crashing part.

  2. CosmoSniper3

    Anyone else replay it just for the dialogue? (not the driving, god no)

    FrameRex2

    RC cars, sure, but nothing beats the go kart chaos honestly.

    CoopRider

    The dialogue holds up way better than the driving does, honestly it carries missions the handling alone never could

  3. GhostWolf1989

    Not sure it deserves this ranking against actual open world giants.

    Replying to NeonKid94

    The nostalgia is real (mine too) but that doesn't fix the ranking

    Same energy here, my sister still brings up the donut shop crashes at family dinners.

  4. PixelOwl1997

    The vehicle handling was never great even for its time, and the missions repeat the same formula quickly. I still enjoyed my time with it, but I think people rank it on charm more than actual design quality.

    Lynn_2005

    Yeah, my kids agree, the missions do blur together fast (still their favorite though)

  5. Kuphal99

    Me and my cousin used to trade the controller off after every mission because whoever crashed the car had to hand it over, and somehow I still ended up finishing most of it myself since he kept wrecking near the donut shop. Good times, genuinely.
