I've managed to unlock Bart, and I understand you can also play Marge, Lisa and Apu. Completion of the 'story' missions will advance you to other levels where you can play other characters. There are core 'story' missions to complete, as well as races and the other rewards mentioned above. Bonus vehicles can also be found - a highlight was driving the lead car of the broken Monorail around downtown Springfield. Often the coins are lying around, usually leading to some other reward. Homer's homemade football), gags (Larry the Looter, Frostilicus, and so on), and get 'coins' for smashing crates of Buzz Cola, smashing Buzz Cola vending machines, and killing wasps. Players also get rewards in the form of playing cards, which are scattered around the level (these are reference to more obscure items from the show - e.g. The initial missions revolve around a day in the life of the Simpsons - get food (ice cream with miniature pies), take Lisa's science project to school, that sort of thing. The initial stages see Homer operating from 742 Evergreen Terrace, taking most of his missions from Marge. You either get caught (50 coin fine) or you run around not being naughty and wind the meter down.

You also have a police attentionn meter, which once it gets to 3/4 full means you draw the attention of the police, who will chase you. The wasps do fire lasers if you're slow to destroy them, but short of losing coins there's no physical damage (that I've seen so far, anyway). There's no player health as such, so it's possible to fall from a great height without damage. There are certainly a lot of simularities with the gameplay, although most of the violence has been taken out and 'Simpsonised' - there are no weapons, pedestrians don't get killed, they simply roll along the ground (making appropriate comments as they roll), players are ejected from cars before they explode from damage, and when car jacking the original occupant stays in the car and drives you around.

Very impressive, and something many PC and console games would do well to take lessons from.Īs has been mentioned in the gaming press, gameplay is modelled on the GTA3/VC model. The real highlight in this regard is that steering wheels can be used to control the vehicles! The wide range of control options is quite impressive - I currently use the wheel to drive the car, the joystick to control the character, and the mouse to control the view. Control set-up is quite similar to GTA3 and GTAVC, where two options are available for a control, and to change it you simply need to select it, and then use the appropriate control. Running through the option screens its quite apparent that some care has been taken to make the game easy to set up, which given that a significant number of players would be children is prudent.

The movie ties in nicely with the menu screen. Essentially, Springfield is being invaded by wasps armed with video cameras, coinciding with the launch of a new version of Buzz Cola with a secret ingredient.
The game runs about three or four credit screens (which can be easily skipped through) and a quite nice opening sequence, where part of the plot is revealed.

On the plus side, the on-line registration process, available during the download, is simple and quick.
Make a cup of coffee, kids, it's a slow one. The double CD contains no less than THREE CDs, and took quite some time to install. The packaging could have been a third of the size. In typical style these days, the box contained a double CD case and a minimalist instruction manual. The game comes in a largish box with bright artwork. Tested on an AMD Athlon 1.1ghz, with 768mb and Asus Ti4200 128mb GE4 video card, with a Logitech Wingman Formula Force USB (okay, a GT Force) steering wheel and a Nostromo N45 gamepad (ripoff of PS2 controller).

The combination of boredom and a generous discount saw me purchase the PC version of the latest Simpsons game, The Simpson's Hit & Run.įans of the series will recall that previous videogame incarnations of the series have been at best ordinary, and at worst dreadul (remember the PSOne wrestling game?), so, knowing general response to the game was favourable, I took the plunge.
