About The Simpsons: Hit & Run in brief
The Simpsons: Hit & Run is a 2003 action-adventure game. It is based on the American animated sitcom The Simpsons, and is the twenty-second installment in the Simpsons series of video games. The game follows the Simpson family and their friend Apu Nahasapeemapetilon, who witness many strange incidents that occur in Springfield. It was released in September 2003 for the GameCube, PlayStation 2, and Xbox. Upon release, it received positive reviews from video game critics, with praise particularly focused on the interpretation of The Simpsons television series as a video game, its parodical take on Grand Theft Auto III, and graphics. It received the award for Fave Video Game at the 2004 Nickelodeon Australian Kids’ Choice Awards. It has gained a cult following and is often considered to be the best Simpsons tie-in game and has recorded sales of over 3 million worldwide. The player can control one specific character in each level, with Homer, Bart, Lisa, Marge, and Apu being playable twice each. There are seven levels, each with missions and a sub-plot. When the player collects all seven cards in a level, a mini-game called ‘Bonus Game’ is unlocked. Overall, there are seven racetracks for the player to unlock for the game, which can be used to buy new outfits, some of which are required to progress through the game. The Itchy and Scratchy Show video unlocks a special Itchy & Sc scratchy card that can only be obtained by collecting all 49 cards in the game in a single level.
The character can perform certain acts of violence, such as attacking pedestrians, blowing up vehicles, and destroying the environment. In Level 7, instead of standard police cars, zombie police hearses chase the character. If the player is apprehended, the player cannot lose coins because the character cannot die during the events because the player will lose the coins if they die. When all 49 coins are collected in all levels, a special bonus game is unlocked to unlock the player’s character for the next level. There is a warning meter that indicates when the police will retaliate for bad behaviour, and when the character runs people over or destroys objects, and decreases when they cease doing so. When full, several police cars chase the player for the duration of the hit and run. The game’s driving missions are also similar to those of Grand theft Auto III. In both games, the character races against other characters, collects items before a timer runs out, and wrecks other cars. In each level the player can either hitchhike and control the driver in one of the many civilian vehicles that drive endlessly around town, or use a phone booth to select a car. Several hidden vehicles are present in eachlevel and can also be used by the player if found. The coins can be gathered by either smashing Buzz Cola vending machines,Buzz Cola, or wasp boxes, or some of the latter of which become more elusive as the game progresses.
