Does anyone have this?

Is it any fun?

I saw a commercial for this the other day and it looks like it might be fun. I don't play video games much, I have a few Sims games adn that's about it. I'm just wondering if it's worth it to buy the game.

-Anders · 10-29-2003, 11:30 AM

I don't know this game, could you point me in the direction of a review of some sort?

tontoom · 10-29-2003, 11:34 AM

I have heard it should get boring quickly.

From what I've heard, it's supposed to be great. I saw the commercial the other day, and I might just have to buy it as well.

Moonduck · 10-29-2003, 03:02 PM

I rented it last week. Thought it was great. It's one of the few video games I've played that had me laughing, and I'm not a big Simpsons fan. There really keen thing about the game would be the little details. Rent/buy it, you'll see what I mean.

It is ALL about driving though. There are a handful of platformer style jump missions, but they are totally in the minority.

buclao · 10-29-2003, 04:46 PM

The game does get repetitive, but if you're a huge simpsons fan you'll really love just driving around in Springfield.

Wyodiver33 · 10-29-2003, 06:28 PM

I am a huge Simpsons fan. I really wish they would release the game on the PC

Wyodiver33 · 10-29-2003, 07:05 PM

Wait! I just saw a TV commercial for the game. It IS out for the PC! I will own it soon. Yes. I will.

IckUber · 10-30-2003, 01:20 AM

I liked it. it was fun.

Loup · 10-30-2003, 04:06 AM

I heard (on an advert) that it is the 'best Simpsons game to be released'. I assume that they are not including the arcade version when I was back in High School, but the home versions of the Simpsons games - and frankly, it should be hard at all to beat what the Simpsons have put there faces on for home gaming so far.

Averett · 10-30-2003, 06:16 AM

From what I've heard Matt Groering gives this his stamp of approval.

I think I'll probaly pick it up this weekend. Hell, I spend money on far less luxuory items!

collide · 10-30-2003, 11:01 AM

It's cute. It's like Grand Theft Auto 3 except with The Simpsons and no radio stations or hookers.

RedCometChar · 10-30-2003, 11:44 PM

Lots of fun, and very funny. The game's full of jokes for Simpsons nerds like myself, like Lisa's unlockable "Floreda" foam-rubber outfit. If only the Jukebox at Moe's played "It's Raining Men"...

I admit that some of the missions can be a drag, especially the ones where you have to wreck another car with yours (tedious). Didn't really like those in GTA either, though.

Jam · 10-31-2003, 01:22 AM

i was kinda cautious about this game because i havent really liked the old simpsons games... but seeing what you people here have to say maybe ill have to pick it up and play it till im bored

Troublebot · 11-03-2003, 08:31 AM

Averett,

I'm holding out till Christmas for this one, but I've heard good things and any game that can combine The Simpsons and GTA sounds pretty good to me.

Averett · 11-03-2003, 09:58 AM

I could not find this game for the life of me yesterday. Well, okay... I didnt look very hard. But it wasn't at Target or Circuit City. I might look at a gaming store in the mall tonight.

elbarto36 · 11-03-2003, 11:41 AM

I have this game and it is great. If you are a Simpsons fan at all you should get this game, otherwise probably just a rental. I would say its more like the Driver series instead of GTA because most of the game is driving missions. It is filled with jokes from the show and all around its a great game. It's only real flaw is that it does get somewhat repetitive with some of the missions.

Averett, have you looked online?
Online stores are more likely to have the games you want to play in stock, moreso than your neighborhood store will.

You can also rent them online, too.

Here's one site. http://www.gamefly.com/

Averett · 11-05-2003, 03:15 PM

So I figured out why I couldn't find it... It's not out yet! Release date is next week... Duh.

hahaha · 11-17-2003, 11:16 PM

I need to rent this, but what we really need is a Family Guy videogame. That would rule.

Wyodiver33 · 11-19-2003, 05:01 PM

Got Hit And Run for the PC for $25 at Best Buy. Great deal for a 3-cdrom game.

Moonduck · 11-19-2003, 08:07 PM

Rented it again and beat the game (didn't have time the first time I rented it). Funny game, amusing ending. I liked it.

cala555 · 11-20-2003, 10:48 AM

Thanks for the input, I will put this one on my x-mas list!

I couldn't find it there this past weekend! Grrr....

Porkchop · 11-20-2003, 03:24 PM

have been looking at this may give it a try now. also gets some decent reviews.

unique · 11-20-2003, 04:23 PM

yea that game is pretty sick i played it for a while. I still prefer GTA: vice city cuz its more fun and yea.

goppers · 11-20-2003, 06:44 PM

I'm just throwing in my $0.02 here, but I'm enjoying the game right now (on the pc). I'd reccomend it to any simpsons fan out there, but beyond that I dunno. The price is really nice though, so maybe that can tip the scales. I cant help but think that it's extra easy so kids that are pretty young will enjoy it, but either way i like it. The Ralph Wiggum race countdown got a belly laugh from me.

utang · 11-30-2003, 04:33 PM

Its fun, its the best Simpsons game period, but thats not saying much since all of them sucked priorly. GTA clone, but a fun GTA clone.

Wyodiver33 · 11-30-2003, 06:44 PM

I think it's a great game. Now I have to go back and snoop around and see what I missed...

charlesesl · 12-01-2003, 09:20 PM

played it
hate it
it is just a scaled down version of GTA3
move along
