 Awsome Simpsons Game October 12, 2003
16 out of 16 found this review helpful
This is an awsome Simpsons Game.It's preety much GTA in the simpsons, except theres no guns or blood. There 7 levels in which you play Homer,Marge, Bart, Lisa,and Apu.The missions are really fun except for a couple impossible ones,which you can skip (a good idea for a game). You can also do a lot of other things besides missions, like street races, and getting collector cards. You can change peoples look too. Its also cool because its almost exactly how springfield looks in the show, with the simpsons house, the kwikee-mart,moe's tavern and all of the other places. This game is very fun to play especially with friends. OK now for some of the bad things. The camra angle gets stuck. In some of the missions you will find your self doing the same general thing as another mission.There might be a few graphic gliches, and the multiplayer is just plain bad.Well thats about it,BOTTOM LINE:every character in the simpsons will be involved in the game, so if your a simpsons fan definetly get it!!If your not a simpsons still get it!!
THE SIMPSONS GO GRAND THEFT AUTO!!!! September 20, 2003

I just got this game yesterday and it is the greatest Simpsons game since probably Barts Nightmare on the SNES and Sega....This is not only a GTA replica but its also has a platform game touch to it with the double jump and coin collecting.... The Simpsons Hit and Run has everything, you get to play as Homer, Bart, Marge, Lisa, and Apu... You can walk into the Kwik-E-Mart, Moe's Tavern, and other Simpsons hotspots from the show. Being able to walk around is soooo cool because you get to see everything from the show if it was on the show it is in the game like the garden on top of the Kwik-E-Mart, the Salt Factory behind Springfield Elementary that melted the snow storm, the Nuclear Power Plant (even Homer's work station) EVERYTHING... and another one of the coolest things I really think is you don't only see unknown people walking on the streets but you see well known characters walking around like Lenny, Krusty, Lou the Police Officer, and alot of others thats one of many things that make this game really Awsome there is just to much in the game to tell you about.... if your a simpsons fan and even if you haven't really watched the show this is a really fun game a HUGE MUST HAVE FOR SIMPSONS FAN WELL WORTH PAYING THE PRICE FOR IT!!!!

Ok, this game is a great game, simpsons fan or not. Many people discredit it for its striking resemblance of the Grand Theft Auto games. IT EVEN SAYS ON THE COMMERCIALS ITS LIKE GTA!!!!! who cares. even if your not a simpsons fan, it has a great feel and has great gameplay. theres a couple of graphics glitches, not too bad. all in all, great game, buy it if you like GTA, no blood or weapons, so its not as bad as gta. BUY IT
The Simpsons: Hit and Run November 26, 2003

This is a great game! It's even better than The Simpsons: Road Rage, with a cooler plot and almost no time restraints! Here's the plot in a nutshell: a big number of giant wasp cameras have invaded Springfield, and the Simpsons family (plus Apu!) are investigating. You also have to do a bunch of missions too, like buying cola and ice cream from the Kwik-E-Mart, racing Skinner to the school to deliver Lisa's science project, collecting Flander's 'lost' things, and that's just with Homer in level 1. Also, you collect coins that you find on the ground, and get when you destroy objects or set off a gag. You see, a gag is something that you can activate in gameplay, like in level 1 with
Homer, one of the gags is a swingset that falls apart when you activate it. Also, there are cards scattered around each level that contain information about different Simpsons episodes. ... you can take as much time as you want between missions to go around Springfield in your own car, a different car you buy with enough coins, or someone else's car you can just get into! ...But, with Hit and Run, the worse violence is hitting some people, with no blood, and they don't die. So go out and get this game, Simpsons fan or not!
Great game! November 11, 2003

This is the best Simpson's game. I rented it since it was a Simpson's game and they're all great, and I will buy it for sure. I thought it was kind of similar to Grand Theft Auto, and the rest of the reviews do to. There are a bunch of missions in each level and each level uses a different character. After failing a mission several times, you have the option to skip to the next one, which I like a lot. The game is all driving, so if you don't like drving, you may not like it, but you should since it is so fun. I highly recommend this game.

The Nintendo Wii goes on sale on Sunday, November 19. Thanks to the inclusion of the simple--but infectiously fun--Wii Sports game, the Wii is the first console in recent memory that lets you have fun straight out of the box. Still, there are a few key Wii accessories you'll want to pick up to maximize your Wii experience--especially if you're buying it as a gift.
Extra controllers: Like all recent consoles, the Wii ships with just a single controller (well, one two-part controller: one Wiimote, plus one nunchuk). But the real fun of the system is playing the head-to-head Wii Sports games such as tennis and boxing. To do so, you'll need at least one extra set of controllers--and again, that's one Wiimote ($28.99) plus one nunchuk ($12.99). The Wii supports as many as four, but just the one extra controller set should suffice--at least for Christmas morning.
Rechargeable batteries: The Wiimote takes two standard AA batteries. They're included--with the Wii, and with the sold-separately version of the controller mentioned above--but avid players may find the juice draining pretty quickly, especially if they keep the nunchuk attached (it draws its power from the Wiimote). Instead of buying an endless stream of costly AAs, consider investing in a set of rechargeables. You can score a charger and four rechargeable nickel-metal-hydride batteries for less than $25.
GameCube controllers: The Wii is fully backwards compatible with the Nintendo GameCube, but there's a catch: to play the GameCube games, you'll need a GameCube controller ($15.99). You can even go wireless with the Nintendo WaveBird ($59.99). If you already have a GameCube, your existing controllers will work just fine--just plug them in to one of the four ports underneath the flip-up panel on the Wii's topside. GameCube controllers should also work with the Wii's "Virtual Console" games--which saves you the trouble of having to buy a Classic Controller.
GameCube memory cards: One other annoyance when playing GameCube games: your progress can only be saved to GameCube memory cards, not to the Wii's internal memory or to an SD card (we're hoping Nintendo fixes this with a future firmware update). Like the controllers, your old GC cards will work just fine--there are two slots right next to the GameCube controller ports. If you don't have any onhand (and you want to save your games on GC titles), you'll need to spring for a $26.90 (2GB) memory card.
Wii Points: One of the big attactions of the Wii is its Virtual Console, which lets you purchase classic games that originally came from the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES), the Super NES, the Nintendo 64, the Sega Genesis, and the TurboGrafx16. By the end of 2006, at least 30 titles should be available, including Donkey Kong (NES), Super Mario 64 (N64), and Sonic the Hedgehog (Genesis). To purchase the downloadable titles, you'll need to use a Nintendo currency known as Wii Points (similar to the Microsoft Points on Xbox Live), which currently have an exchange rate of 100 points per U.S. dollar. You can buy Wii Points directly through the console's online store, or use prepaid cards (2000 Wii Points) available in various denominations.
SD card: If you're close to filling the Wii's built-in 512MB of storage with your Virtual Console games, you can always expand your available space with an SD card. Nintendo sells its own, but any run-of-the-mill card will do. Fairly spacious 1GB cards are available for less than $20--even less with mail-in rebates--and they'll work in plenty of other gadgets as well.
Wireless access point: In addition to the downloadable Virtual Console games, the Wii offers online "channels," including news, weather, and even an Opera Web browser (head-to-head online gaming is said to be coming sometime in 2007). You can get online for free via the Wii's built-in Wi-Fi. To do so, of course, you'll need a nearby wireless access point or router. Alternately, you can plug the Nintendo Wi-Fi USB Connector into any nearby PC on a wired network, and the Wii--plus your Nintendo DS--will be able to use it to get online instead.
Component video adapter: The Wii doesn't have the graphical horsepower to handle high-def graphics, but it can do DVD-level 480p video, which will look considerably better on large HDTVs. To see the Wii's games in 480p, you'll need Nintendo's proprietary component video adapter, which should run about $20. |
