The Simpsons: Hit & Run takes players on a trip through the colorful streets of Springfield in a mission-based racing game with the ability to continue objectives on foot. Something is amiss in Springfield, as strange crop circles have been reported and people are suddenly disappearing. After Homer notices a mysterious satellite-equipped van parked outside his home, he takes it upon himself to discover the truth behind these unsettling events.

A total of 17 characters are available for the mission-based driving sequences, with Homer, Marge, Lisa, Bart, and Apu able to leave their cars and enter such buildings as Moe's Tavern, the Kwik-E-Mart, Kamp Krusty, and the Springfield Power Plant. To lend a degree of authenticity to the game, the animated show's original cast recorded the voice-overs for their respective characters.

Features:
* Drive recklessly with Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, and Apu and talk to dozens of show characters
* Seven levels with fifty total missions in a mysterious adventure
* Stop by the Kwik-E-Mart, Moe's Tavern, and Springfield Elementary in the most fleshed-out video game Springfield yet
