The Simpsons: Hit and Run is a video game based on The Simpsons. It was released in 2003 by Vivendi Universal and was created by Radical Entertainment. The game is available for PlayStation 2, Nintendo GameCube, Xbox, and Windows personal computers.

Playable characters

Gameplay

Hit & Run focuses primarily on driving missions. It employs the "sandbox" format, featuring a third-person view, an explorable environment, and drivable vehicles similar to the GTA series. While most cars can be hijacked or stolen, the non-playable characters' vehicles cannot be compromised in this way. Instead, the player's character can be seen riding in the passenger's seat of another vehicle while the owner drives. The game features a "Hit & Run meter" that brings the police after the player if it gets too high; if the player is captured by the police, (s)he is fined 50 coins. In the first 3 levels, only one police car is deployed to chase the player, but starting from level 4, two police cars are dispatched in pursuit.

Progressing though the various story levels allows the player to control Homer, Lisa, Marge, Bart, and Apu; many other Simpsons characters such as Chief Wiggum and Professor Frink appear in non-playable roles, but will also drive you in some missions.

In addition to the story missions, players can optionally participate in "bonus" missions or races which typically award unlockable cars for successful completion. Coins, the currency in the game, are acquired by hitting objects such as trees or mailboxes, destroying wasp cameras or Buzz Cola machines, or simple collection (many coins are simply scattered throughout each level). Players can use coins to purchase new vehicles or outfits for the current character; many of these can be traced directly to specific episodes of The Simpsons (e.g. Bart's Space Shuttle-shaped Honor Roller soapbox racer or Marge's police uniform). Many of the cars come from The Simpsons Road Rage.

A number of "collector cards" depicting objects, characters, or scenes from the series are placed in each level, usually in hard-to-access areas. Collecting all of these cards in a level unlocks a track that can be played in a slot car-like racing game, and collecting all of the cards in the game unlocks an original Itchy & Scratchy short, "500-Yard Gash".

Mistakes in the game

Suburban level

  • It was Bart that had the digestive system model not Lisa.
  • There is a very big lack of road junctions.
  • In the game the trailer park is in Springfield's run down area but it is really over 100 miles away according to Homer, although this may a foolish assumption on his part.
  • Another distance error: you can see the worlds largest toilet on top of a hill yet it is really on a flat plain many miles from Springfield.
  • The Stonecutters hidden tunnel is hardly hidden and is not next to the highway but links with the Power Planet instead.

Downtown level

  • Moe's Tavern is in front of a mafia building in the game but there is no evidence of this in the show.
  • Once again there is a lack of road junctions there are more than in the previous level but for a downtown area it still doesn't have many.

Squidport level

  • The Android's Dungeon comic book store is on a corner but as show many times in the show it is no where near a corner.
  • The only bridge out of town is no where near the Springfield dam.
  • Kamp Krusty is far out of town.
  • The observatory and Springfield sign are close in the game yet the series shows they are on opposite sides of town to each other.
  • The suicycle track was at Vegas not at Mr. Burns's casino.
  • Mr. Burns's casino was demolished in the series, but is intact in the game.
  • The Bowl-A-Rama is not by a slope of any kind nor is Wall-E-Weasel's.
  • Yet another time there is a lack of road junctions.
