- Amazon.co.uk Review. Up to now The Simpsons games have been nothing if not consistent: they've all been completely rubbish. However, The Simpsons: Hit & Run is an exception to the rule, and although it's hardly a classic in its own right it's just the thing for fans who want to worship their favourite characters through the virtual medium. Like many of the more recent Simpsons games Hit & Run.

The Simpsons Hit & Run is an action-adventurevideo game based on the animatedsitcom (comedy TV show) The Simpsons. It was released for the Nintendo GameCube, Xbox, PlayStation 2, and Windows in the United States on September 16, 2003 and in Europe on October 31, 2003. The game was developed or made by Radical Entertainment and published or was put out to be sold by Vivendi Universal. To make the game harder and more fun, the story and dialogue were written by the writers of the TV show. The voices were supplied by the cast of The Simpsons.
The game follows the Simpson family and the people who live in Springfield, who see many strange things that happen in their town. When the Simpsons themselves decide to find out what is going on, they find out that aliens Kang and Kodos are filming a reality television series about the city. To make the show more interesting, the aliens release Buzz Cola, a soda that makes people go crazy, into Springfield's water supply. With help from Professor Frink, Homer is able to destroy the aliens' spaceship, and Springfield and its people are returned to normal.

Gameplay[change | change source]
Hit & Run has seven levels, each with missions and a unique plot.[2] The player can only move, or control one certain character in each level. The game's playable characters are Homer Simpson, Bart Simpson, Lisa Simpson, Marge Simpson, and Apu Nahasapeemapetilon.[3] When walking, the playing character can walk, run, and perform many attacks: a normal kick, a jumping kick, and a smashing move. To drive, the player can either drive one of the many vehicles that are on the road,[2] a feature taken from Grand Theft Auto 3,[4] or use a phone booth to choose a car.[2] The game's driving missions are also similar to those of Grand Theft Auto 3. In both games, the player races against other characters, gets items before a timer runs out, and wrecks other cars.[4]

Initial Setup
1. Open your splits in LiveSplit and right-click > Edit Splits. Make sure your game name is set to 'The Simpsons: Hit & Run' (without the quotes) and then click the 'Activate' button that should have now appeared.
2. Download the 'Alternate Timing Method' LiveSplit component from the LiveSplit Components page. Extract the files into your LiveSplit's 'Components' folder.
3. Open LiveSplit and add 'Alternate Timing Method' (under 'Information') to your layout. 'Alternate Timing Method' will show your time with loads. Make sure to save your layout and add them to any other layouts you may use for this game!
4. Make sure your LiveSplit is set to show Game Time in the main splits; right-click > Compare Against > Game Time.
For Every Use
You don't need to do anything after the initial setup! Your splits should now display the time without loads and the time with loads (by default this will be called 'Real Time' but you can change that through the settings of the component on the layout) all the time, as long as you use the same splits and layout.
Other Help/Information
• The load remover currently supports the FairLight No-CD EXE (very common), along with some non-English versions No-CD EXEs.
• Ask on the forums if you are still stuck.
