Always somthing new. A little tricky and great hidden items and fun. If you live to watch The Simpson's reruns 3 times a day, this is what you play the other 22.5 hours a day!

A good game for the console lover and Simpsons fan,

This review is from: The Simpsons: Hit and Run (CD-ROM)
Although many attempts to make a Simpsons game have produced merely a mediocre showing, The Simpsons - Hit & Run appears to break the losing streak. A driving game--a la Grand Theft Auto 3--TSH&R requires the player to explore the world of Springfield via a number of vehicles and on foot. Again, just like GTA3, TSH&R is mission-based, requiring the completion of linear goals to advance the gameplay, but an element of freedom is added through non-linear "optional" missions and races, and free-driving between missions. The player may use the free-drive mode to collect coins--scattered about the levels in various forms and which may be required by the missions or simply used to purchase new vehicles and clothing for the characters--to collect repair power-ups to save a damaged car, to find bonus items and unlock secret levels, and to destroy the strange wasp-like cameras central to the game's story. Characters are well-rendered, with the original voice talent providing sound for cut-scenes and in-game quips. It's not exactly high comedy, and the quips become repetitious quickly, but it's not too tiresome for the Simpsons fan. The game's levels are three maps of Springfield, with a few extra bits added for the duplicate levels 4, 5, 6, and 7. A suburban scene, downtown Springfield, and the docks-turned-tourist-trap warehouse district are the primary locales, and each has plenty of Springfield flavor--signs and gags that add to the feel of immersion in a Simpsons episode.Gameplay is straight out of a console: typical movement keys with Jump, Kick, and "Action" (to handle things that are NOT a jump nor a kick). Keyboard and mouse work well enough, but the use of a gamepad makes the game much easier and far more natural to play. In-game views are handled by a moving 3rd-person camera which follows the player's character at various distances. Like many new 3-D run and jumps, TSH&R's camera can pan around the character during abrupt changes in direction. You'll find that the camera is often just in the wrong place (things in between your character and the camera, rendering you invisible), and plenty of clipping errors occur in tight spots. Luckily, the camera is moderately adjustable for just those circumstances, though you'll find the camera will stop if it runs into a wall--very frustrating indeed until you get the hang of setting the camera before you enter certain spots. Overall, TSH&R is an enjoyable game--a good use of a major license and fun for the Simpsons fan and arcade driver alike. It's not GTA3, but for the money, this game offers a plenty of challenge and fun.
