Overview Visit Iconic Simpson Locations The Simpsons Hit and Run is an open world action/adventure game based on the hit cartoon series The Simpsons . The game was developed by Radical Entertainment , published by Vivendi Universal and released for the Nintendo GameCube , Xbox, PlayStation 2 and PC on September 16th in North America and October 24th in Europe. The voice cast of the television series all reprise their roles as the residents of Springfield . The game received generally positive reviews upon release, with experts commending its fun gameplay and visual representation of the Simpsons universe.
The game is entirely backward compatible with the Xbox 360 , with emulation only suffering from slight "screen tearing" at times.
Story The story was penned by the writers of the television series. You can take control of five different characters including Homer , Marge , Bart , Lisa and Apu . You are tasked with discovering the root of the mysterious events happening in Springfield; as a swarm of robot wasps are unleashed upon the city.
Gameplay The game employs an 'open-world' style of play, with many play elements borrowed from the Grand Theft Auto games, albeit with significantly more family friendly overtones. For example, instead of car jacking, the player simply gets in the vehicle with the driver.
Collectibles Costumes Over the course of the game, the player collects coins that can be spent in a variety of ways. One way of throwing these away is to buy outfits for the different characters, many of which are referential to specific episodes of the show.
