The Simpsons: Hit & Run 100% Speedrun in 2:59:27 by LiquidWIFI / we did it - Watch live at free MP4 video / Kansas City Comic Con. Getting a time under 3:45:00 is doable but requires a lot of skill & consistency. The final-third of the run has an incredible high-risk/high-reward style of gameplay in order reach faster times. So why both under 3:45 and a WR? I want to keep running the category myself, but I don't want it to stop being pushed when I hit my personal goal.

The Simpsons meets Grand Theft Auto
You can find the answer to all of life’s questions by watching The Simpsons. Life, death, what happens when Homer goes to clown collage, it’s all there. But one question has remained unanswered: How do you turn the greatest animated television show in history into a decent videogame? Radical Entertainment has the answer, in the form of The Simpsons Hit & Run. This “Grand Theft Simpsons” perfectly captures everything that makes the show great: the writing, the setting, the humor, and the characters.
You get to play as each of the four primary characters (Homer, Bart, Lisa, Marge), and each one starts in a different section of Springfield. You advance the game by completing simple missions – mostly involving either racing or platforming – but can also engage in typical GTA-style free roaming on the side. You discover easter eggs, gather gold coins, complete bonus races, and can eventually buy better vehicles and episode-referencing outfits. There’s a police system similar to GTA as well, but law enforcement in Springfield is noticeably more relaxed. You can run over roadside objects, people (they amusingly bounce around but never get hurt) and crash your car for quite some time before the cops come after you, as indicated by a useful wanted meter.
Everyone and everything from the show gets thrown into the game, including the original voice actors providing their original voices. Springfield is painstakingly recreated, and it will take an encyclopedic knowledge on the player’s part to get every inside joke. It’s rendered in glorious detail, with references that are obvious (the Springfield tire fire is still burning) and slightly less so (Jasper frozen in Apu’s freezer).
- King-sized Homer. Also notice Abe in the background.
- “It was like that when I got here”.
- Bart having fun at Moe’s Tavern.
Old Set of Wheels
Originally designed for all platforms, the controls for the PC version are merely adequate. While it’s intended for an analog gamepad, the controls for driving with the keyboard are on-par with the PC versions of Grand Theft Auto. Running around on foot introduces some weirdness, as the camera has a tendency to go wonky and the mouselook option is half-assed, but manageable.
Any control issues fade into the background when you actually sit down and play the thing, however. There are 49 missions in total, plus a “Bonus” one on each of the seven levels. The missions are almost exclusively races, but for the most part they’re all winnable. (The quantity compensates for the lack of difficulty.) In fact, everything about the game is designed to make it easier on the player, unlike the brutally unforgiving Grand Theft Auto 3. Paths in any race are marked on the roads with arrows and you can restart missions at your whim.
Completing missions opens new areas of Springfield, and completing some of the secondary tasks unlocks new vehicles. For any fan of the series, the self-referential tone, humor and fun gameplay make this a winner. To put it mildly, if you can’t get enough Simpsons, then this game was made for you.

Seeing as a few people were discussing about running NG+ recently (mainly for the 'All Story Missions' category) I decided to write a thread about it and upload a save we can all use that is optimised for NG+, so we all have a level playing field. Most of the ideas for this came from some of us runners talking in Cookie's chat the other day; if you have any other inputs or suggestions, feel free to reply to this thread!
The save we decided to use can have anything unlocked, so I just chose to use a 100% save. This means all cars/costumes and all FMVs have been watched, which means they are skippable without needing to pause-buffer or anything. Of course naturally, we cannot do the tutorial mission, so that isn't part of a NG+ run.
The idea of this save is to have everything all set up to make the run as fast as possible; here is a small list of things I did:
> 100% (all cars/clothes/FMVs).
> Saved on L1M1.
> Correct clothes already selected on levels that need them. (For Marge: Inmate)
> All cars from phone booths have 0% damage.
> Level 1 Homer is wearing the Muumuu (by request of runners).

In regards to where to start the timer: I think we should start it when you hit 'resume game' from the menu after you have loaded said save. It's either that, or start it when you load the save originally.

I'm not sure if I forgot about anything; knowing me I probably did. If there's anything else you can think about that could be default in the save that would make a run quicker, please do tell me.
