I've owned the Simpsons hit and run on both the PS2 and PC. The target on both is exactly the same, complete the missions based around the plot. There are bonus missions and you can drive or run around the 3 areas freely to collect coins etc. The game is split into levels with 5-7 missions on each level. The characters change as you go through the levels.
Level 1 - Homer
Level 2 - Bart
Level 3 - Lisa
Level 4 - Marge
Level 5 - Apu
Level 6 - Bart
Level 7 - Homer

The game is very enjoyable for older and younger players. The missions range from easy-hard as you go through the various levels. If you fail a mission numerous times you will be given the opportunity to skip the mission but this will effect how much of the level you have completed.

One other thing is that there is a bonus game which you unlock as you progress through the levels which is a simple car racing game that can be played with up to 4 players (PS2).

Overall this is a very enjoyable, affordable and addictive game for all audiences. I highly recommend this game on any platform.

The Simpsons has always been my favorite cartoon, and now that it has been brought out on the Playstation I cant describe how happy I am... It's great, and even better to say the comedy value of The Simpsons has not dropped! Very Funny!
