    what's next, the simpson's flight sim?

    wouldn't touch any simpsons games with a bargepole tbh (admittedly, this one has gotten some half decent reviews)

    It's called Road Rage I think? From what I've heard the game is better than the last few Simpsons games (Skateboarding, Wrestling). But at the end of the day its only a weak GTA clone (with deeply repetitive missions) that's hardly worth a rental.

    nah, road rage was the crazy taxi clone:rolleyes:

    this one's subtitle is "hit & run"

    I dunno man, the original Konami arcade game was pretty good. Other than that, theres nothing else, unless Hit and Run is as commendable as reviews have been going by.

    But it really seems like EA are really milking both The Simpsons and popular game mechanics for what its worth. The premise behind Road Rage was so blatently Crazy Taxi, as is this with Grand Theft Auto. It just leaves me a bad taste in my mouth and a negative impression on the game.

    i quite enjoyed Road Rage, just driving around various landmarks of springfield was fun,(oh the fun ive had with the elevator to nowhere in 2-player). Anywho Hit and Run got sum decent reviews around the 75% mark. id say its a good rental but nothing more than a Collect em' up with a GTA disguise. Mind you it will sell bucket loads due to the name.

    aye, bart vs the space mutants was a good laugh.

    played road rage & skateboarding in a shop for a few minutes each, 2 of the worst gaming moments of my life tbh.
    and let's not forget the simpsons wrestling:rolleyes:

    No other simpson games are anywhere near the the greatness of bart vs. the space mutants or the 4-player konami arcade game.

    Hit and run got a dodgy review from eurogamer and I'm inclined to trust them more than any of the sell out magazines and websites.
