The Simpsons Hit & Run for Nintendo GameCube

Finally a decent Simpsons game!

Strengths: Lots of fun references to the show.

Weakness: Driving control is subpar.

I haven't played a Simpsons game since Bart Vs The Space Mutants for the NES years ago. Apparently, I haven't missed much. Hit and Run, however, is a good game, with an excellent sandbox style of play and the fun of exploring Springfield and meeting its various residents. The play control when driving is somewhat inadequate, but the Simpsons fans will not be disappointed by this one.

Simpsons

Strengths: Great game! Plenty to do, or explore. Side Missions, and the whole Simpsons franchise around town.

Weakness: Nothing really

I thoroughly enjoyed this game. Being a fan of the Simpsons definitely helped. If you are not a fan, you might not like this game as much. Either way it is a fun game, but you just won't get the references to the show that abound at every turn. The core of this game is the driving aspect. Its almost like Grand Theft Auto in the sense that you can steal any car that you see. You basically drive...

The Simpson's Hit and Run for GameCube

Strengths: Fun game!

Weakness: None so far

The Simpson's Hit and Run for GameCube is loads of fun for the entire family - my older kids get a kick out of this one and love to play it over and over.

Fun for the first month then .....

Strengths: Fun simpsons references, good driving physics, and fun missions.

Weakness: The gameplay is the same, its alot of the same stuff repeated over and over again.

There are a few types of missions, they consist mostly of chase down another car, checkpoint rases, destroy another car, and collect items in a given time limit. The various mini games are all pretty much the same, but they are fun as is most of the game. I got about 2/3 the way thru it and just couldn't finish the rest of the game because its simply too much of the same, but for those simpsons...

GTA meets Simpsons

Strengths: The fun of GTA without the excessive violence that the kids love, with the excessive Simpsons that the kids love

Weakness: Graphics are mediocre, no multiplayer

Simpsons Hit and Run is a great extension of the GTA engine to the world of the Simpsons. Creating a legitimate story combined with the fun of the Simpsons was the perfect choice. The missions are fairly short, but enjoyable, and the familiar locations you drive by regularly are nice. If you like games like GTA/Driver, and/or are a big fan of the Simpsons, this game will go over well.

Simpson's Hit & Run

Strengths: Great character models and original voices, and fun, free-roaming locations that showcase places and people from the show.

Weakness: Some of the racing missions are a little tough, and coins are in short supply to unlock all the extra items.

This is one of my family's favorite Gamecube games. It combines an excellent TV show with a great game that highlights the best of both. You play through 7 sets of missions, each with a different character and location (though some of the characters get repeated in different locations). During each mission, you get closer to discovering an evil plot being carried out by aliens. Each location...

Simpson HnR

Strengths: Graphics, Sound, Gameplay, Simpsonsness

Simpsons Hit and Run is arguably the first good Simpsons game since the arcade game released by Konami in the early 90s. Simpsons Hit And Run would best be described as similar to recent incarnations of Grand Theft Auto, but in Springfield. Full of cool references to the show, great graphics and sound, Simpsons Hit and Run is a treat for fans and non-fans alike. Simpsons Hit and Run is a game...

Simpsons Hit and Run

Strengths: Great music. Very entertaining to watch someone play.

Weakness: You really have to read the instructions to know what to do.

This is a really entertaining game, espcially if you enjoy watching the Simpsons. My 4 year old grandson likes to just drive the cars around and run into things. My 17 year old daughter also enjoys the game she is who i bought it for.

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...

The Simpsons Hit & Run for Nintendo GameCube

Strengths: Great use of the Simpsons license, borrows heavily from Grand Theft Auto, one of a kind on gamecube

Weakness: The camera doesn't always follow action as smoothly as it should

Overall, this is a great game, filling a genre (Grand Theft Auto) that both the PS2 and XBox have. You get to play around in Springfield with all of the characters from the Simpsons, what could be better? If you like GTA, the Simpsons, or both, you owe it to yourself to pick this game up!
