A few months ago I reviewed Futurama: The Game, and I was disappointed. Where Futrama the series was funny and entertaining, the game was repetitive, frustrating and boring, with none of the wit that made Futurama so damn good. It had the look, but it just didn't have the feel.

Now I've got The Simpsons: Hit and Run in my PS2, and I'm pleased to say that this Matt Groening game succeeds where its scif-fi cousin failed.

In Hit and Run you control one of five playable characters -- Homer, Marge, Bart, Marge and Apu (why Apu? Well, why not?) -- as you drive crazily through Springfield on a variety of missions. Each character is given their own portion of the game -- Homer kicks things off, ditching work so he can investigate mysterious black vans that have shown up all over town. Then it's Bart's turn, as he attempts to get a copy of a highly-coveted (and thus banned) video game. He goes missing at the end of his story arc, and then it's Lisa's turn, with her quest revolving around finding her brother. And so forth and so on.
