The Simpsons: Hit and Run
VU Games | PS2, Xbox, GameCube, PC
The setup: As various members of the Simpsons clan, you'll explore a full 3D model of Springfield with a mix of platform-hopping and high-speed driving. It's all in the name of collecting the gold coins littered around Springfield, most of which are hidden inside other people's breakable property, or in these weird robotic bees that have mysteriously infested the town.
The rides: Aside from a bunch of Simpsons -themed cars (including the infamous "Homer" bubbletop) that you can whistle up from any phone booth, the citizens of Springfield are more than happy to give you a ride whenever you want. It's really just a friendly way for the Simpsons to carjack people, but it works.
The violence: Pretty tame for a GTA clone. You're limited to close-up attacks, which you can use to smash open random objects in your unending quest for big shiny coins. You can also use your wicked moves to temporarily smack down random people, which is fun in a "Suck it, Flanders!" kind of way.
