I've enjoyed every second of The Simpsons Hit & Run game. Even the parts that were frustrating for me. Definitely in my top 5 games list. My pros, neutral and cons of the game, I have listed down here;
Pros:
- An Original and compelling plotline
- The Gameplay Mechanics
- Good Story/Bonus Missions
- Intense Street & Wage Races
- Cool and Awesome Vehicles
- Perfect Music/Soundtracks
- Funny Dialogue, References & Easter Eggs
- Wonderful Level Layouts/Atmosphere*
- Fun Cheats Like the Super Car Jump
- Collectibles
- Cutscenes
* Even breaking/glitching out the game's level was fun to do.
Neutral:
Character Models could be improved significantly if the game was remastered. Though I think personally, it still stands well to this day (This may partly be due to my Nostalgia).
Cons:
- Boring Street race Bonus Mode with a terrible camera angle
- Faraway coins due to destroying wasp cameras in high places
- The Shrinking of the Last Level and its Repetitive Missions
- Some missions could get grating afterwhile (Takes Practise)
So overall, the Simpsons Hit & Run Game is one of the best games that I've ever owned/played since the days of the Super Nintendo to today's Playstation 4. It might not be for everyone, but to me & many Simpsons fans out there, it was one of the best games to have been made for the PS2/Xbox platform. I highly recommend playing if the opportunity is available to you.
