The Simpsons: Hit & Run (2003 Video Game)
8/10
A Bit Grand Theft Scratchy. Or Walrus
15 May 2024
I need a game to get something out of my childhood itch and most kids in game stores who tested PlayStation 2 Consoles are The Simpson's Hit and Run.

I finally finished the game thanks to AetherSX2 from my phone and here is the result.

The game starts simple and easy for beginners but as I reached and completed level 7 of the game I didn't expect the game to be this challenging. It almost tires my fingers but mostly my thumbs too as well. However, despite the levels always having a time limit almost most of the levels were a bit unnecessary with time limit added. However, the gameplay for driving is great and I can go in using shortcuts mostly all the time. And the best part of driving is that when I reverse I can just properly reverse drift and drive forward too!

The game even includes not just one character but 5 characters of the Simpsons family except Maggie considering the fact Lisa and Bart are the only underaged characters who drive. But at least Apu the owner of Kwik-E-Mart was able to be playable and the only non-Simpsons family member.

As for the combat in the game the moves all the characters have are just kicks, jump kicks, and dive attacks and the only enemies in the game are robot camera bees which felt a bit small I expect to have a bit more combat like a beat em up but it's a bit more of Crash Bandicoot but with the Simpsons because of the sound effects when collecting coins.

And to be honest I didn't expect this simple driving adventure game to be this challenging. It hurt my fingers after completing the final mission of the final level. Plus races in this game became very stressful for me unless I had to motivate myself to unlock faster vehicles and know all the shortcuts I needed.

The Simpsons Hit And Run may not have the Treehouse of Horror level type of violence or even a beat 'em up level but this is the most challenging game to ever play for a Simpsons game.
