- The Simpsons Hit & Run is a childhood favourite of mine and many other people who have experienced the game. Today, I'll be discussing what makes this game one of my personal favourites.

This is the most blatant rip off of someone else’s video I have ever seen 😂 my guy has literally just re released a video release by tamago2474 4 years ago just to get more subs, every joke is the same, the format is the same… I could go on… could job plagiarising a video
Surely I don’t have multiple videos with the same structure
Could job with your word choice xD
Shit, you're right. Gonna watch that one instead
literally, I was actually thinking "hang on im sure i've watched this before"
because its sooooo similar
Who is tamago ?
Hearing you were born in 2004 made me feel old, this game is fantastic.
I remember the release of the ps2 and the various Black Friday sales I spent buying games for it.
god ikr lmao. im not even that much older ('02) and it still feels so weird.
@BNSY Photography Me too.
I was born in 1997 and now I’m feeling old. I got this game upon release when I was 7 or 8 🤯
If you didn't see 9/11, you are not a human
Hit and Run was a timeless classic, a real gemstone to have for any PS2 owner. Though there are many more things in the game such as the extra minigames and cool cheats.
But what I really love is that the main menu ACTUALLY changes depending on the holiday. It has both a Halloween and a Christmas theme when the system's clock is set to either of those days. Pretty neat.
also thanksgiving :)
@@JrsOCE that is proof that i am indeed British
I’m still waiting for the remaster 😫😂
Same bro… same….😢
Right?!
The closest thing is that guy who is remastering the game lol
One day hopefully and a remake of SpongeBob SquarePants the movie the game would be nice too
Wouldn't it be up to Activision since they own Radical Entertainment?
It's so rad how everyone loves this game. I was born late 80's so playing this as teenager was just so perfect. Everything that was fun about games at the time and previously all in one. Driving, platforming, collectibles and some great open levels. I hope those folks that are remaking it are doing well
Very good video right here. I love this game and I still hope that this game gets a remaster or at least a re-release to modern consoles one day
Keep up the good work
It’s crazy that we got TWO great licenced games in 2003: Hit and Run and SpongeBob SquarePants Battle for Bikini Bottom. Pair them, with Scooby Doo! Night of 100 Frights, and you get a trio of the best licenced games ever.
Bro, I was just thinking of installing this game on my steam deck and look what I found in my feed!
Great video and amazing and unique commentary!
Out of all the games I have played over the years, I always come back to Ocarina of time, Super Mario bros deluxe and The Simpsons Hit & Run!
Truly a masterpiece!
I wish you the best with your channel!
"hmm we got sued for copying Crazy Taxi, what should we do?" "Let's rip off GTA"
Played Simpson’s Road Rage when it first came out at like 7/8 years old and that freaking game transported me into Springfield. Can’t really explain it well but I played that game for absolute hours and felt like I really lived there. I played Hit & Run briefly but it wasn’t the same and so I never played it like that. Kinda wish I did
This was a very well-written video, nice job!
As someone who as born in 2004 too, luckily my parents had this Simpson game and another one, I grew up with them on the ps2 and I could never talk bad about it. For me it’s such a masterpiece and I still enjoy it everyday. Our first Disc got destroyed by scratches so wished for a new one so often and since it’s old and hard to find u had no hope. 3 years ago I got gifted the game again I was so happy but it was very pricey. I will never regret getting this game again for a high price .
Really loved this video!
Unlocked a childhood memory with the Ratatouille game mention 🤣🔥Simpsons Hit & Run will forever be a classic!
The Simpsons Hit & Run is probably the best licensed game of all time.
Hit & Run and Marvel’s Spider-Man are probably my top 2
this is a great video. great job keep up the great work.
One of my favourite childhood games! Really beautiful game. There's one glitch that would be annoying the rest aren't an issue. (the map disappears for a minute or two but reappears)
Wow, a really well put-together video. Can definitely see your channel going somewhere if you put this much effort into all your content
When I was six we had this at out of hours school daycare thing, the one time someome brought a memory card and we saw level 2 like the heavens open up. Yes, we would always start back at level one otherwise.
Man... those days were innocent and golden, and then there was Midnight Club 3 DUB Edition Remix that undid that all.
Me and my best friend would turn to this game whenever my Mother cared enough to ban us from GrandTheftAuto again.
I always wondered why Maggie wasn't a playable character.... it would have been cool to do some missions like when maggie leaves home to look for marge... escape from the daycare and get all the pacifiers.... and fight that baby with the one eyebrow lol
@Jack Cunningham you could use santos L helper as transportation. Or snowball 5. Or one of those power wheels looking toy cars.
What was “that box”? Great video btw mate. First time coming across your channel and the content is brilliant. Well done
The dvd boxes for 8 of the first 9 seasons were all nearly identical in their design (especially on the side), but with one of them they had it shaped like Homer’s head.
So if you were a collector it would stick out like a sore thumb amongst the rest of the boxes
15:33: Ah, fellow Sonic Adventure 2 enjoyer.
Great vid. Looking forward to seeing these vids for more of my old favs
Grew up with this game, and I still play it from time to time. I still find the last few missions near enough impossible to complete even years later 😂
I loved this game when it came out
my brother and i played this a lot when we were kids. we didnt have a ps2 memory card so we had to start from the beginning every time. i had the first 30 minutes of the simpsons hit and run memorized for years.
I remember being little and getting this game at launch during an event at my local gamestop that was packed. Took me 2 whole years to 100 percent it. I adore this game. Great video. Tough as nails game haha. Editing on point.
Also; i love the consistent joke where people alwyas poke at grandpa Simpson not knowing where he is. Thats so funny. 😅 so many youtubers point this at and its the truest damn statement like ever. Lol
Hit & Run is just such a vibe!
Aesthetically pleasing in every way!
Personally, I always enjoyed The Simpsons Game (Xbox/PS3/PC/Wii) I just felt more like a Simpsons adventure to me... but I get it, Hit & Run is something special. I doubt it'll happen, but a remaster would be nice.
This came out when I was 10ish from memory. Instant classic.
Amazing video btw. Summed up my feelings for the game perfectly.
TH-camr mode activated!
Lol I subbed bc of your video making skills. Take that how you will.
The Simpsons: Hit And Run is a masterpiece?
Tell me something I don't already know.
great video, i always like to see some love thrown this game's way, looking forward to an eventual road rage review one day
"Oh no, they got my brother!"
*Nukes Springfield off the map*
Awesome video, man! I'm surprised to find another Sonic fan who was born the same year as me and also plays this game because I've never heard of one ever mentioning or talking about it.
And I'll admit, I've noticed some similarities here with another TH-camr's video but I still enjoy this and the other video regardless; Wish you could've explained the game mechanics and other stuff separately instead of mashing them all into the story sections because I tend to get distracted and even forget you were still talking about the story 😅😂
Nonetheless, you've earned a sub! I'd love to see what other things you'll be talking about and look forward to more Sonic content too! 💙
The back of the case of my copy of Hit and run, says, " Authentic story by The Simpsons writers"
I really hope this game gets a remaster or remake.
I just dropped $84 on ebay so I could play this on GameCube. I also got a Carby so it will run in 480p on my modern TV. I gave up on it getting ported to modern consoles.
I've played this game in 2006 on my dad's old PC, and it's one of the best memories from my childhood.
12:30 I'm curious. Where did this info come from. I can't find anything about it. Though from my own research it seems 4 maps were initially planned according to the source leak as opposed to the original 3.
The one larger map sounds more like Road Rages development rather than SHAR
We were a Simpson’s family growing up, and I had older brothers. I have spent so many hours playing these games. They were done so well, but not so hard that 8 year old me couldn’t play at all. I especially liked The Simpson’s Game at the time since it was multiplayer, and I have many memories of my brothers trying to pull me through with them 😂. Currently playing Hit & Run through because I never completed it as a child (was close once, but I had no memory card so once my dad turned my ps2 it off I had to start over).
God I love this game
Absolute nostalgia so glad I came across this video
There were levels as a kid that had me losing my mind haha time trials that seemed impossible 😂
i completely agree. This game is a masterpiece and one of my favorite games during my childhood. I want a remastered game so bad.
Hey dude, your video is fucking sick! Thought your channel was way bigger and seen that somehow you only have 329 subs! good shit king
Suggestion: When you do gags like playing Eminem "Lose yourself"
Probably cut your voice saying the same thing as it makes the audio mixing awkward and the same point gets across
other than that this video is very well edited and you're voice is very entertaining!
The Simpsons Hit & Run. Good old memories. And my number 1 favourite 2003 video game. The game is as old as my twin brothers who were born in 2003.
"I was born in 2004." That made me ancient, and I was born in 1995.
I loved this game, though. Such a great title!
underrated vid this will def blow up great game btw
played this game when i was 12-13ish. i remember i took Hit and run too literal trying to run people over and ditch the car lmao. great video man! 81st sub here :D
Simpsons season 9 is where the Simpsons jumped the shark and became a cartoon
Simpsons S1-8 = animated sitcom
Simpsons S9-30,s = Cartoon
This was a great video game. It was one of my favorite video games next to Super Smash Bros Melee. I'm glad you made a video about it. I love videos that gush about how good Hit and Run is cause there's some people I talk to that aren't that fond of it and I'm like what's wrong with you people. Also there's a trick to beat the Set to Kill mission. Idk if this is just a GameCube thing but what you have to do is after talking to Kearny and buying the Globex Super Villain Car. Instead of getting inside the Super Villain Car go to the near by toll booth and choose another vehicle. Preferably one that's fast and has good toughness. I usually use the Car Built for Homer. And that's the trick.
Could you imagine how frustrating it would be if they included that 3:30 timer for the mission where you had to destroy the armored truck? Yeah, it was going to be that much more painful.
Mission would have literally been impossible
it is amazing, my favorite game from my childhood. even bought a handheld emulator specialy for playing this game again. one of my best decicions ever
Im so sad, that simpsons hit and run 2 never happen. This was such a good game.
Hit & Run 2 with bigger maps and some more mission variety would’ve been insane
Idk why they didn't do a sequel such a shame
@@thegamingprozone1941 Well the reason was that they sell the licence to EA for all Simpson Games and while they did, it was not clear who owns the rights to Hit & Run, because the company that did made the game did bancrupt (as i remember or something like that) aside from that I don't think at all that a company like EA could even make a great game like this. So we proply never will see any good simpson games anymore.
Thank god that some ppl like Southpark do the games by themself and didn't sell rights for those, so we can atleast have a good game from time to time.
Was it just me or when we were younger and playing this we wanted a buzz cola as it looked so appetising
Haha when you mentioned how licensed games can be hit or miss, I got bad flashbacks of the Jimmy Neutron game on the PS2. 😭🧠🚀
Real ones played the incredibles ps2 game and got stuck on the violet level
@@nikoishere1205 YOOOO SAME I WAS RAGEING!
9:44 "inexplicably flips over" XDDD
Blows my mind where I was more like your sister and had it when it first game out it was so fun it’s awesome a generation younger has nostalgia for the game also good vid!
Fun fact: there is foreshadowing on the games back cover that shows a UFO
This was the first game I played on PS2. I didn’t even watch the Simpsons but the game was so fun. And road rage was good also
Vehicles like the Canyonero control really badly due to a bug in the game that causes the vehicles stability to be slightly tilted thus making it really easy for it to flip to it's side and the bad physics of the game do not help either.
It's always been a huge problem in the speedrun community and even with the source code it's still not well known why this bug even exists so it's also a huge meme within the community of the game and they trash-talk on the programming of the game lol
I wonder if it's intentional. The Canyonero was known to flip over in the actual show, as this was a common problem with big SUV's back in the day.
Wouldn't say it was a masterpiece but it was a good game, definitely fun to play. If they did a new Simpsons hit and run I'd buy it
The canyonero may flip easily because of a bug, but i like to believe that its just because its true to the series, marge did say that they flip over easily
this game brought a lot to my childhood
I have never heard the comparison to Crazy Taxi. I only hear it called PG-13 GTA. Great job, it really fits.
Road rage was more crazy taxi
Road rage got the crazy taxi comparisons not this game
One of my favorite PS2 games
Great video man :)
We need more Simpson's games!
Hey Arnold & Wild Thornberrys we’re epic!
Bart using the villain car and the last mission are so hard! It took me so long to beat the last mission
Set to kill kicked my ass as a kid lmao
I swear I never beat this game, yet I'm recognizing all your late game footage and the plot points....
This game has a lot of replay value! I played the story so many times. I only replayed GTA V story two times. I only did a second to see Michael die. The Simpsons Hit & Run is a classic!
Amazing vid!
Take a drink every time he says fucking
100th subscriber. Great video
I'm glad you love this game so much and I really do think it's a very good starting point, but you are being very dismissive of the games flaws, The missions are very repetitive and the time limits for a lot of them are just way too brutal, I think that would need to be acknowledged if they were to ever make a sequal.
Sonic Adventure 2 is still 10/10 though I will agree with you there
That’s fair tbh but I’m not really gonna rag on something that doesn’t detract from my gameplay experience
Also W SA2 take
I get that, you're probably pretty good at the game so they're not as brutal for you but it's still a common complaint most people have that I'd wanna see fix for a remake or sequel, at least optionally with the tighter time limit being a challenge or higher difficulty
13:50 I get that reference!
Was hoping someone would get that one
"Doesn't know where _he_ is"
I absolutely love this game. I had it too on GameCube. I'm gonna eventually get it again. I just wish they'd release an upgrade version for the PS5 with NO CHANGES! Just updated PS5 graphics.
I still have my PS2 copy but it’s scratched up.
Lol thats adorable you called level 3 and 6 the Harbor Area. It's called Squidport.
Jeez I was born in 98 and thought I was behind playing it in 2005-09
I want to get this game again it was awesome I have rebought a wii 001 backwards compatible model
Plus changing the in game clock would affect the the game which was always cool
The harbor area is known as South Street Squidport.
My parents wouldn’t let me play grand theft auto when I was 12 so I had them get me this instead. Good choice for me.
I like how you say the official Simpsons writer like there wasnt 20 haha
def subbing to this dude, also need a sonic heroes video pleaseeeee🙏🏽
I have ~120Gb of heroes footage on my computer so it’ll definitely get put to use soon
If my kids ever want to play GTA, I will give them this
At 29:20 Frink gets sent to the backrooms!
I feel this video is partly inspired by tamago2474’s video
To an extent yeah
such a great game
TH-cam recommended me this
Great review. Entertaining and very thorough. If I could offer one critique, all the vulgarity kinda takes away from it, though. Best wishes with your channel going forward. 👍
I love this game so much it's my favorite ps2 game! 😁😁
