User Rating: 7 | The Simpsons: Hit & Run XBOX
I picked up this game being a giant Simpsons fan and after reading Gamespot's review. I was excited to finally play a fun, good, Simpsons game. However the game is BORING. It's says it features over 50 missions, but there are really only 4. One is follow another car until it gets somewhere witout losing it. Another is ram a car until you or it blows up. The 3rd is drive all over town, pick up some random item, and drop it back where you came from. The last is race another car/cars and be first to a checkered flag. Thats the ENTIRE game. Every mission is just a repeat of one of the four listed missions. There are a lot of gags that I do appricate, however it is no where near a saving grace. Walking around Springfield is not near as fun as you think it would be either. It's a big town, but a big empty town. And collecting episode cards arent fun, they have a crappy ANSI looking picture on them, and just give a basic 2 line synopis of the episode, not fun. So do yourself a favor, this is the ultimate example of a game to RENT before you buy, then if you really like it, it's up to you. Just don't think this is Grand Theft Au'Doh, all the missions are driving missions, there are no on foot ones or varity ones as in GTA.
