Game Reaction: Simpsons Hit and Run
Monday, 15. September 2008, 23:10:17
You know M. Groening is on to something when: Nobody's really sure what the audience is
intended to be. Is this a kid's game? Or a grown-up's game? Surely Hit and Run raises this
Question. Meanwhile, there's probably a few whipper-snappers that could give me a lesson!
Coincidentally, the game controller is mapped very similarly to GTA. So you can get right
into the action from a crime-shooter. Join Homer, Marge Bart and Lisa in this action packed mission/level based masterpiece. I say masterpiece because they basically recreated
Springfield in pretty-good detail. Of special note is the nuclear reactor where Homer 'works.' It's like a scene out of (the movie) Brazil. Bureaucracy and layers and levels all
contribute to a twenty-first century factory settin g -- that you can drive through!
The crux of the game is Homer's Pink Lady. His car. He drives everywhere, though one may change vehicles easier than changing Homer's Blue pants. The storyline of the game mirrors a typical episode, though not as driven. You're actually tooling around in three dimensions!
I'm only on level-two but I assume it's all here. The characters, the voices, the settings.
