I know Damarus started a topic about the game, but mine's better and so are my opinions :D

I also got the game today and have been playing it most of the afternoon. It well and truely rocks my banana. Simpsons fans rejoice, finally there is a game worthy of the license.

If you've played GTA you pretty much should know what goes on in Hit and Run. Free roaming Springfield, jack cars, go anywhere you want etc etc

If you're a Simpsons geek (like myself) you're gonna be bowled over by the amount of in jokes and references to episodes. The attention to detail is very sweet. I've spent the majority of my play time so far just checking out the sites, chatting to characters and laughing at the dialogue. If you have any worries about how the humour of the show will translate to a game, don't worry, it's as funny as the show has ever been. Funny moment was when I hit ran over a pedestrian and he said "This is a sad day for generic characters everywhere". Tis literally busting to the seams with funny dialogue.

So far I've only done a couple of missions because I've been too busy exploring. The one's I have done though have been racing Principal Skinner too School to get Lisa her Science project, driving to the Kwiki Mart to pick up some ice-cream and mini pies, and also getting back Flanders belongings that Homer has 'borrowed'.

Once excellent thing I've found is you can stand on moving cars and surf on the roof Teenwolf style. I went round the whole of the first level on top of a school bus just checking out all the areas.

In the words of Homer

"I am so smart, I am so smart, S-M-R-T...I mean S-M-A-R-T"

Genius.

That's just one of the many things they say, there's tons of other things such as

"Think of the children"
"I really needed that Kidney"
"I'm moving to Shelbyville"

etc etc

There's just so much dialogue.

I'm pretty sure pedestrians saying "This is a sad day for generic characters everywhere" could get immensely tiresome after a while.


But still, sounds okayish.
