The game consists of 7 levels, each with 8 missions. Burns isn't the villain in this, which is a very huge plus, in fact, he becomes crucial to saving the town later on. The writing is funny and the casts consists of most of the show's favorites. Story is fun to follow and does a good service to the Simpsons franchise, as the story was penned by the show's writers themselves. The story revolves around the Simpsons family and Apu where they must uncover the secrets of the new Buzz Cola. Meanwhile strange Black Vans(which turn out to be bogus), and Wasp-Surveillance Cameras(which are legit) begin showing up around town. However, this time around, unlike the previously mentioned games, Hit & Run copies all of the right things about GTA and makes for a very fun experience.ĭeveloped by Radical Entertainment, published by Vivendi UniversalĪ new flavor of Buzz Cola is introduced into Springfield, advertised by Krusty the Klown, and becomes the hot new thing in Springfield, however, as the story progresses, it becomes more apparent that the Cola has a dark secret. We had Simpsons Wrestling(an awful parody of Wrestling games), Simpsons Skateboarding(an awful parody of Tony Hawk games), Simpsons Road Rage(a so-so, blatantly plagiarized version of Crazy Taxi), and then there's this game, The Simpsons Hit & Run, which is a parody of the Grand Theft Auto series.

The Simpsons Hit & Run is part of that weird era from 2000-2007 where they try to parody what ever was popular at the time before going all out with The Simpsons Game. And they did, and unfortunately, and unsurprisingly, a lot of them turned out to be crap, with only a small handful of games worth trying. For how long The Simpsons has ran on TV, you'd expect them to churn out a bunch of games.
