The Simpsons: Hit & Run. Just hearing the name conjures up memories of speeding through Springfield, smashing mailboxes, and listening to hilarious one-liners. Released in 2003, this game wasn't just another licensed title; it was a legitimately fun open-world adventure that captured the spirit of the iconic cartoon.
Want a quick refresher on what made it so great? Think Grand Theft Auto, but family-friendly and packed with Simpsons humor. You play as various members of the family – Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, and even Apu – completing missions by driving around in a wide array of vehicles. Earning money lets you buy even faster cars and unlock new outfits.
While the graphics might look a little dated now, the gameplay is still surprisingly addictive. From the challenging missions to the countless hidden secrets and the spot-on character portrayals, The Simpsons: Hit & Run remains a beloved classic for a reason. So, dust off your old console, or find a way to play it again – Springfield awaits!
