General Comments
Simpsons: Hit & Run: Drive around Springfield playing a succession of popular characters from The Simpsons. The characters are well reproduced, have amusing dialogue and come out with catchphrases at unexpected times.
The storyline (about a sinister corporation infiltrating Springfield and spying on its inhabitants) is reasonably imaginative and involving - many of the missions tie in with it resonably well.
The game is easy to pick up, and gamers will make quick progress through the first levels. The racing missions are trickier and will provide more of a challenge. It may not have too much long-term appeal, but now it is available cheaply in the Platinum range, this may not matter too much.
