On September 16, 2003, a videogame was launched on the market that on paper did not arouse much noise, but in the long run has ended up becoming a true phenomenon: The Simpsons: Hit & Run, the best videogame ever created of The Simpsons (and we remove the “may” or “probably”).
Video game productions based on Evergreen Terrace’s 742 family have been everything from fun platformers to others where wrestling was the predominant note. However, the release of Hit & Run picked up the Simpsons title better than anyone else. Why did this happen?
Although Radical Entertainment’s adventure was undoubtedly inspired by Grand Theft Auto 3, the development studio knew how to bring all the magic and characteristics of the work created by Matt Groening. Springfield could be walked from end to end with total freedom. The recreation of the city was impressive, so any player could recognize the most emblematic places as soon as he saw the TV fiction. In addition to this, the story seemed to be taken from a TV episode, so a greater immersion was achieved with what was being played.
The Simpsons video game was released for PlayStation 2, Nintendo GameCube, Xbox and PC. It was so successful that it sold more than three million copies and was even nominated for video game of the year. Unfortunately, and as it usually happens with old software, it is currently impossible to play this title on current consoles (although you can download it for PC).
As a curiosity, some users are trying to make a remake version with the same artistic style of the TV series. The work is so impressive that we recommend you to take a look at the video that appears in this news.
