A Nostalgic open-world ride through Springfield
The Simpsons: Hit & Run brings the animated world of Springfield to life in a story-driven driving adventure. Blending light-hearted missions with arcade-style driving and a faithful recreation of the TV show's humor, it offers a single-player experience that still resonates with fans of all ages.
Springfield comes to life across seven story-driven levels built on three richly detailed maps. Iconic spots like the Kwik-E-Mart, Moe’s Tavern, and the Nuclear Power Plant are recreated with cartoon-inspired 3D style that echo the show’s look. While maps are reused with slight changes, they stay engaging thanks to lively background characters, scattered collectibles, and scripted moments that reference fan-favorite episodes, encouraging players to explore every corner.
Classic humor in a cartoon-style open world
Gameplay blends fast-paced driving with light platforming across missions that involve races, chases, and item gathering. Players rotate between characters like Homer, Bart, and Lisa, each bringing their own humor and voice lines, though they control the same. The mechanics are easy to grasp, making it accessible for casual players. While there's no multiplayer and the visuals show their age, strong writing and polished design make the game a fun, replayable experience.
A cult classic that still delivers
The Simpsons: Hit & Run remains a standout adaptation that blends humor, exploration, and action into a memorable single-player experience. Despite some technical aging and the lack of multiplayer, it captures the spirit of the show in a way few licensed games do—making it a worthwhile revisit for longtime fans or first-timers alike.
