I loved playing this game as a kid. The original voice actors were great and I loved that you could freely roam around Springfield with every location in it's place.
It was definitely a fantastic game for its time! I remember I used to visit a friend most nights after school and he was playing it. I was hooked from the word “go” 😂 and I needed this game! I still love playing it to this day 👌🏻
Being nearly 27 years old now, I randomly had a though about the times I spent playing this kid as a game and came to watch. I’m so tempted to buy a ps2 and get all the old games and just try to relive some of that experience again 🤣
Grand Theft Simpsons. Nice! I especially love when Homer asked for Ned’s cooler back from Barney, and Barney asked “Now what will I use for a toilet!?”.
Used to be so obsessed with this game as a child, found my obsession coming back so here I am, watching a six hour long video with no regrets! :) Seriously though loved the video, the driving skills were on point
Unfortunately can’t play this game anymore but watching this felt like such a nostalgia trip. I’ll never forget that weekend I rented and played this game for the first time from block buster
3:42 On the back of Apu's counter, we see a statue of the Hindu god Ganesha...nice touch. I first learned whom Ganesha was by watching The Simpsons; it was the episode where Homer appears in disguise at Apu's wedding.
That tunnel through the nuclear plant was always my favorite place to go lol. Thanks for bringing back some good childhood memories. Love the playthrough
I just noticed something. So when you do the races, you’re racing two random cars and one of the main characters. The races basically tease the character you will play as in the next level. For example, Homer races Bart in Level 1, Bart races Lisa in Level 2, etc. I hope I explained this properly😅
Loved the simple and fun gameplay back in the day. Due to its cartoon theme I find the graphics still stands up pretty well today (it's after all based on a cartoon).
What a great walkthrough. Brought back so many memories. So much fun to watch. Even better having the proper voice actors. This game has some great music too. Yes thank you very much.
You just unlocked a childhood memory... Thank you for the great gameplay! The best NPCs are the ones who say "I'm so sick of this happening", given how frequently you run people over. I love how Ralph can't count and the game implements it in the countdown XD 1:24:32 W-what happened there? Did the game glitch out and change the mission to the race you already did or is this a video editing mistake? I like how Patty and Selma don't care about Homer winning races, but they do with Bart and Lisa. 2:10:24 legitimate road rage moment, you were aiming to destroy that guy's car XDDD 3:07:23 DAMN this song is a banger! I immediately think of Brazil/Rio/carnaval 4:58:56 RALPH YOU COUNTED!! Amazing!! I'm happy for this little dude!! 5:45:09 I love how Mr Burns is in the background as they talk about him 6:03:11 Fourth wall XD The aliens taking in the credits are pretty funny.
This game brings me back so many memories. I loved playing this game when I was a kid. I wished I played this game fr if I still had the PS2. What a Classic!
My sister used to get so mad whenever she got a Hit & Run at the Squidport because she felt it wasn't her fault that all those people thought it was okay to walk on the road-or, at least, what she thought was the road. She even said "I oughta kill them!" It's funny because Homer made the same mistake of driving through the Squidport in the show.
This is so good to watch, I've lost count how many times I've played this game. Also how did you go from having 450 coins at the end of level 4 to having over 3000 at the start of level 5? I had to re watch it and make sure I didn't miss anything haha
It’s so hard to earn the amount of coins that you need to buy everything in Level 5, 6 and 7 for those levels alone, so I had to go back to 1 - 5 and complete the wagered races so many times to try and build up a good starting fund 😩 but for the amount of times I had to race them it wasn’t worth including them in the full game. Thanks for watching! 😁
@@JLMediaGaming whenever I 100% the game I always do the Level 6 speed run route just because I don’t buy anything extra in the entire game until I’ve gotten up to the last 3 missions of the game then I go back and do the coin route and finish off each levels 100% before finishing the game
besides the classic simpons arcade games in the 80s and 90s, this is my favorite simpsons game on console, one of the best modern simpsons games ever made.
Shame they never made a hit n run 2 or something of that effect. Would have loved to go in more iconic buildings, new locations, maybe a Christmas theme mission setting, new story maybe based on the Simpsons movie, etc.
One of my sisters used to insist that the skeleton at 24:59 was Mr. Burns' and that the altar at 38:23 was the tomb where his skin and organs were buried LOL.
Milhouse and Lisa are like Irwin and Mandy. Mandy once asked Irwin where Billy was, and Irwin complained that she was more interested in Billy than in him. We see Milhouse act similarly when Lisa asks him about Bart.
Played this game today on my ps2 on thanksgiving day and literally just found out that Homer wears a pilgrim hat and has a big plate of food next to him too and when you click start new game there’s a pilgrim on the newspaper just found this out in 2024 and the ps2 from 2001 still keeps track of the date. Spread this you see it!
4:06:25 same song when bart was running from the cops, but this started playing when Apu was collecting garbage they're very similiar. WHAT IS THIS SONG
This game was great as a young kid...The sheer freedom of driving through the areas as you ran over pedestrians in a family friendly way was great🤣👍🏻.I hope they do a high quality remake of it, anyone would enjoy this regardless of age.Homer really is the oddly charming yet hilarious quintessential family man😁.

Same, I'm 27, and I played this as a kid on gamecube. What an awesome time.
Yeah bro same 😂
Emulators bro, even mid range android phones can emulate PS2 and Gamecube now
@@frostydastonedman9744can i do that on an iphone bro
When i was young, i never stopped playing this. Thanks for reminding me of nostalgic memories dude!
You’re welcome! An absolute legendary game loved by many! We really need a remaster! 🤞🏻
Me too
A would also like a remaster hit and run but if there was a hit and run remaster it would only be able on PS4 and 5 and on xbox one
Ralph learning to count over the course of 6 levels was the best character development in the game.
The nostalgia is killing me! They need to remake this on current consoles ❤
Get a pc and you can play it. Consoles suck.
i wish this would get remastered for current gen consoles
Yeah. It would be more fun if you can play as other characters as DLCs.. Like you can play as Ned, Otto, skinner, Chalmers,
Such an amazing game. From the story, to design, to gameplay, it was a chefs kiss masterpiece.
Grand Theft Simpsons. Nice! I especially love when Homer asked for Ned’s cooler back from Barney, and Barney asked “Now what will I use for a toilet!?”.
Used to be so obsessed with this game as a child, found my obsession coming back so here I am, watching a six hour long video with no regrets! :)

“3… 2… Losersayswhat!”
“What?”
“Ha ha! 1! Go!” 😂😂😂

Seriously though loved the video, the driving skills were on point
Lol, with an average of a destroyed car every 30 seconds?
I kid
how tf you and that other guy have the exact same comment, but yours looks like the copy? 😂 he was 2 months after you lol
1:36:02 "Destroy all the cell phone users' cars..." Well, nowadays, that would be everyone's car.
why is nobody talking about your skills to drive?? i smashed my car in the last level like 10 times 😭😂
Games were so much cooler back then.
True
I swear it was the golden age
That Bart and homer race was the hardest mission on game
This was so well made for it's time
loved playing this all the time as a kid. thanks for the nostalgia
This was my favorite game from my childhood really want this on PS4/5
Thanks for the upload bro! This is undeniably one of the best games of all time, I’m praying for a remaster for new gen consoles. Have a good one :)
i would like to personally thank my dad for owning this game on his ps2! created amazing childhood memories for me :)
I love that you didn't drive that rocket car at 39:48; my sister and I were so annoyed by how hard that car was to drive.
Unfortunately can’t play this game anymore but watching this felt like such a nostalgia trip. I’ll never forget that weekend I rented and played this game for the first time from block buster

Absolutely loved playing this game when I was little
I'm pretty sure everyone clicking on this video has done the same
Games at this time were so great...
I loved playing this game as a child.
Had so much fun with it.
We need back games like this ❤
That tunnel through the nuclear plant was always my favorite place to go lol. Thanks for bringing back some good childhood memories. Love the playthrough
19:48 "I didn't do it". "Bart did it".
"I blame society."
Like everyone, I was addicted to this, but that last Halloween level was the best
I actually bought a GameCube just to play this game. Visiting memories lane. 2001 was the best year to release an awesome console
31:39, Cletus getting rammed by the cop car 😂

And they're driving their default car for the next level, (the Honor Roller, the Malibu Stacy car, the Canyonero, etc.)
great video!!! love from australia
I would kill for this game to come on PS4 // 5
Just get a bs android and download a emulator.
@@uncleruckus-zp5uy or just buy the GameCube or PS2 version which the GameCube one can be played on Wii instead of stealing? 🤷🏼♂️
@@HylianBean97This game is abandonware no one cares if you pirate it
Yeah that would be nice I just barely found it for the original Xbox just yesterday
Just emulate it
No one:
Absolutely no one:
Hit & Run NPCs when you move within 10 feet of them: 👁👄👁
“I’m scared and disoriented!”
Loved the simple and fun gameplay back in the day. Due to its cartoon theme I find the graphics still stands up pretty well today (it's after all based on a cartoon).

57:55 that kid just launched himself in front of the van 😂
Never saw this..glad i have.. thanks for the upload bro 👏👏👏✌️🇬🇧
thx bro, i passed it once, and now, in this silent passage, I again felt myself in the first person
Sure miss these days when playing this for the first time.

me and my older brother had this for the OG xbox man the amount of hours we spent on this game i miss those days so much
This was my GTA when I was a kid
This game is more entertaining and has a better story/plot than The Simpson's Movie!
This game brings me back so many memories. I loved playing this game when I was a kid. I wished I played this game fr if I still had the PS2. What a Classic!
It's been 20 years since I played this game and the moment I saw the intro it felt like yesterday when I last saw it, it felt like no time has passed!

Sounds like your sister might be the Homer of the family. ;)
that ad was actually beautiful
56:30 I just realized that the seven duffs were a reference to the seven dwarfs LOL.
The content I was looking for
Loved this game and love the hidden cars and Halloween level
I hope they bring this back to current consoles
I believe its in development
If it’s true, then I can’t wait
@@matthewsmith1999 Same here
There is a PC version
@@StephenAytonwhere did you pull this information out of?
Never play this game before, I seen this so many times in years as a kid, and I might be able to play it soon hopefully!
dug this out again and my goodness was this well made for its time
a few bits of weirdness but as fun and free as i remember
This game was so ahead of its time.
This is so good to watch, I've lost count how many times I've played this game. Also how did you go from having 450 coins at the end of level 4 to having over 3000 at the start of level 5? I had to re watch it and make sure I didn't miss anything haha

I used to just explore the levels without actually doing the missions. It was one of my sisters who did all the missions.
One of my sisters used to insist that the skeleton at 24:59 was Mr. Burns' and that the altar at 38:23 was the tomb where his skin and organs were buried LOL.
I love that Mr. Burns' chess pieces have eyes. What episode was that from?
I think is the one that he "adopte" Bart.
1:02:25 "Frog launchers?" I thought that was just something MITM made up.
I remember playing this when it was released back in 2003. It's the one game everyone wants to get remastered/remade. It's such a good game.
i loved this game, it was like if Mario and GTA had a kid 😂😂
36:58 Look at the cows and you will see that they have funny faces.
Milhouse and Lisa are like Irwin and Mandy. Mandy once asked Irwin where Billy was, and Irwin complained that she was more interested in Billy than in him. We see Milhouse act similarly when Lisa asks him about Bart.
how in the world did u make this game look this freaking good!?

This has better graphics than the new South Park game.
I remembered getting this game on my birthday...omg the memories 🥺 lord have mercy that game came out nearly 20 years ago 🫠😅
Theres no comments on how excited I used to get loading this game up
If this game had a Halloween-themed level, it should have a sequel with a Christmas-themed level.
i thought i was the only one who remembered that but ion think it showed in this gameplay which was disappointing
“I’m scared and disoriented!”
I will start using this now
Same here, along with “This is a school zone!”
“What the heck were you thinking?”
And: “Sad day for generic characters everywhere.”
4:30 Larry the Looter looks just like Homer himself.
22:00 Imagine if someone had been hanging by that ladder over that spout when it went off.
The GTA Simpsons. I used to LOVE playing this!
Absolutely loved this game
I speak for everyone when I say we need this remasted and a 2nd Version
You said it bro!
2:53:07 You found the Burns portrait card...behind a Burns portrait.
Spent so many hours on this game growing up
5:18 "I wish I had a dog with a saddle." Labyrinth reference.
I remember getting this epic game for Christmas in 2003. (I think?)
congrats on completing the game!
I just realized something: this game has no boss battles. That's very unusual for a video game, isn't it?
Not really
Loved this game on the ps2 back in the day
1:05:00 whats the name of the guitar song, when bart was running from the cops?
Rented this from Blockbuster with brother's and cousin! Great memories!
Lovedddd this game 👌🏽 such an underrated game
I absolutely adored playing this game! The nostalgia I feel right now 😀
5:45:09
Well... that background is kind of ironic.
I do like that you ended Apu’s level with 1999 coins. “I’m going to party like it’s on sale for $19.99.”
Fun fact: when matt groening first played this game, he kicked Marge all the way to the kwik e mart.
I love Nelson's quote hey q-tip
“Not leaf blower aliens, tentacle aliens” is a crazy statement 5:51:37
