The Simpsons Meet Grand Theft Auto
Itchy the Killer writes "FiringSquad previews The Simpsons Hit & Run (XBox, PS2, GameCube), which is a strange marriage of The Simpsons and Grand Theft Auto. They seemed to think that it works." A lot of times when games are made based on huge pre-existing franchises, they suck so bad mankind is forced to redefine the boundaries of suckiness. That said, this game actually looks like I would play it, which says a lot.
Anyone remember the following merges?
Simpsons + Crazy Taxi = Simpsons Road Rage
Simpsons + Tony Hawk = Simpsons Skateboarding
and now
Simpsons + GTA?
I don't know.. but if the other two games are of any indictation...
I just wish they remake the original Simpsons arcade game..
I'm not the devil.. just his advocate.
Hmm.. well this may seem odd but my kid (5 year old) and I, do play gta vc together, there are several things to do in GTA without being violent, we ussually just cruise around do stunts play taxi and pizza delivery sometimes we ride in the helicopter and do some ambulance and fire truck missions We ussually turn the siren on for no reason.
Oops, we accidently ran that prostitute over! Did you see the bloody tire tracks? Indeed, good fun for the whole family.
My father-in-law decided that it was alright for my 5 year old nephew to play Vice City whenever he comes over, which is pretty much every day. Shortly after he started playing he picked up the nasty habit of stabbing my brother-in-law with pencils/corkscrews/whatever is handy. Now, I don't want to sound like a preachy anti-violence-in-games nut, but I wonder if there might be a connection? There's a reason for those ratings. Not to mention that anytime he plays videogames, violent or not, he turns into a complete terror, screaming and throwing fits about pretty much anything.
