The Simpsons Hit and Run

PS2 News | New information on the latest game based on The Simpsons TV show.

From Radical Entertainment comes The Simpsons Hit and Run, featuring the voice actors and writers from the television show. The Simpsons Hit and Run promises a hilarious mission based driving game with exciting out-of-the-car platform gameplay, similar to that seen in Grand Theft Auto.

The story is that there are strange happenings in Springfield, people are missing, very mysterious crop circles are appearing, and hidden cameras are being exposed. When Homer notices a black van with a satellite dish parked outside the Simpsons house, he decides to investigate further into these odd events. What he reveals could be the biggest mystery to rock Springfield since Who Shot Mr. Burns?

- Over 56 driving and on-foot missions in 7 levels spread out over the familiar Springfield landmarks
- A playable list of a number of characters, such as Homer, Bart, Apu, Marge, and Lisa.
- Explore the interiors of locations like the Kwik-e-mart, the Power Plant, and even the Simpsons home.
- Brand new story and dialogue written by award-winning The Simpsons writers
- Voiced by The Simpsons cast for full brand authenticity
- Over 40 unique vehicles to unlock including Homer's Mr. Plow and Cletus's pick-up truck.
- In-game animated gags and hidden jokes throughout the environments give the genuine feel of being in an episode of The Simpsons.
- Hidden pickups containing episode-specific bonus material from the last 14 seasons to reward The Simpsons fan and increase the shelf life of title.
- Multiplayer mode for up-to 4 players in unlockable driving challenges.

The Simpsons Hit and Run is scheduled to be released in September this year, on the GameCube, Playstation 2 and Xbox.
