Vivendi has given pre-release copies of the most anticipated Simpsons video game to date to various sources, and Firing Squad are the first to deliver. “Hit & Run doesn’t stray from the underlying concept found in Road Rage – take proven gameplay and insert Simpsons DNA. Hit & Run is unmistakably recognizable as being heavily influenced by Grand Theft Auto. The missions start right away with Marge informing you that Lisa left her science project at home and that you have to beat Principal Skinner to the school to deliver it to her. After a loading screen, you hop into your family sedan and rush off to the school. After getting to the school before Skinner, you walk Homer inside to deliver the goods. Mission complete and Homer gleefully announces “I am so smart, I am so smart. S-M-R-T, I mean, S-M-A-R-T.” This game is sounding better every day. Make sure you read the full three-page preview.
