Grand theft Simpsons

Strengths: Real Voice Actors, Ripped of a Good Game, Graphics

Weakness: Music bland, gets tired quickly.

I found this game to be pretty good. I really like the Simpsons and this is second best Simpsons game ever made. The first was the Simpsons Arcade game. I like that most of Simpsons huge background characters with real voices was used. It feels like an episode, but a newer one. The game is ok, buy only if under 20 bucks.

Simpsons Hit & Run

Strengths: Very addictive and it's fun.

Weakness: It's easy, but then I find most things easy.

This is the best Simpsons game ever I've only been playing it for one 1 week and I've turned into a white vampire who won't go outside. You have to be a true Simpsons fan to play this game or you might not understand some of the jokes. I suppose the fact that it is a simpsons is the only thing that makes this game brilliant. If your're not a Simpsons fan then you will find this game dull as that...

Simpsons Hit & Run

Strengths: Easy to learn how to play, and has a very interactive setting where you can use almost everything in the environment

Weakness: Only One player, graphics are average

Recommended for Simpsons fans and others looking for a fun addictive game. A lot of funny parody's that are classic lines and new lines you never heard before. It is great to watch and even better to play.

Simpsons Grand Theft Auto Style

Strengths: Characters from the cartoon are playable. Funny story line and side stories.

Weakness: Weird bugs making some missions hard to complete.

Simpsons Hit & Run is modeled after the Grand Theft Auto game with Simpsons twist. Characters from the cartoon are playable and player need to use them to complete certain missions. The story line and side stories are very funny, but the mission does not always make sense. The game, however, does suffer from some weird bugs that are making some missions hard to complete. There would be...

The Simpsons take on GTA!

Strengths: The best Simpsons game made yet, good graphics and voice acting, fun gameplay, funny.

Weakness: Control could use some help, world could be more lively.

It's kind of sad how the Simpsons license has been abused by so many bad games through the years. But finally after 15-years, someone made a game that is worthy of the Simpsons license - that game is Hit and Run, although the developers had to take a page from Grand Theft Auto in order to do so. It's really great to see a somewhat accurate representation of Springfield and be able to drive around...

Grand Theft Auto: Springfield

Strengths: open-ended gameplay

Weakness: little childish

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 rock!

Strengths: Cool voices and things to do for a simpsons fan

Weakness: Boring as hell for anyone who does not enjoy the simpsons humor

As a hardcore Simpsons fan, I truly enjoyed this game. There is a lot to do and explore. You can interact with many characters and unlock several secrets. If you enjoy the Simpsons antics even a little bit, I highly recommend this game.

Simpsons Hit & Run

Strengths: + hilarious dialogue/ one liners + Springfield is huge and full of gags, just about everything and everyone from the cartoons. + Nice graphics

Weakness: - bad controls - may be to hard for younger kids - sometimes the camera swings around during races

Simpsons: Hit and Run is almost a clone of Grand Theft Auto except it uses the Simpsons license. The good: I loved this game; it was a blast to play as a Simpsons and to interact with all the characters found in the cartoon. The dialogue was funny and the one-liners that the characters yell out are well timed and always funny even after hearing it for the tenth time. Springfield is huge and...

Simpsons Hit & Run

Strengths: Best videogame use of the Simpsons liscence I've seen

Weakness: Can get repetitive

This game is essentially Grand Theft Auto: Springfield. A lot of timed driving missions, but the world is wide open for you to explore and find all the hidden secrets. Very funny, great graphics and an overall fun game. The missions can get repetitive after awhile, but it won't keep you from coming back for more.

The Simpsons Hit & Run

The Simpsons family is no stranger to the digital world, oh no, not by a long shot. Since the conception of the world’s most dysfunctional family, videogames in their likeness have consistently surfaced. The first of which was actually quite good: The Simpsons arcade game. But it went downhill from there with such tragic titles as Bart Vs The Space Mutants for the NES, to the recently released...
