Up to now
f1i The Simpsons
f0i0 games have been nothing if not consistent: they've all been completely rubbish. However,
f1i The Simpsons: Hit & Run
f0i0 thankfully breaks this 100 per cent record, and although it's hardly a classic in its own right it's just the thing for fans who want to worship their favourite characters through the medium of the joypad.
Like many of the more recent
f1i Simpsons
f0i0 games
f1i Hit & Run
f0i0 is primarily a racing game--a racing game that's very obviously using
f1i Grand Theft Auto
f0i0 as its primary inspiration. There's less swearing and gore but just as much running people over and driving lots of different vehicles. You can't steal them off the street, admittedly, and the missions are presented in a much more linear fashion, but otherwise this is
f1i GTA: Springfield
f0i0 through and through.
Somewhat embarrassingly for
f1i GTA
f0i0 the on-the-foot sections are actually handled rather better than Rockstar's game, with a fairly non-rubbish camera and a decent control system that actually makes the occasional platform sections rather fun.
Most of the game is about driving, though, whether it be racing Principle Skinner to school in order to give Lisa her homework or helping Bart buy some illegal fireworks from around town. It's only when controlling underage characters like Bart that the game's concept really starts to seem peculiar (he only drives unmotorised vehicles) but otherwise the addition of all the proper voice actors from the TV show make this the first Simpsons game ever that is in any way worthy of a purchase. --
