Amazing graphics. A bit janky at times, but super fun to mess around in.

If you're needing to scratch that Simpsons Hit and Run itch, this game is the one for you. A lot of effort put into this game. I will preface and say there are quite a few glitches I noticed so far. Just a note, but for five bucks how could you not pick this up?!

so before i start this review i would just like to say, im not happy about leaving a bad review but to keep being completely honest in my reviews, i have to. this game is unbearably clunky. the forced Y inverted controls that you get in air and on ground when backing up make it borderline impossible to do anything technical when driving. not to mention that the activation and deactivation of the inversion on reversing is so random. the only way to get across the map quickly is to boost into the air but landing is horrible as well, even when landing completely flat my character still bounces 2 miles past where i wanted to land making it extremely inefficient. staying on the topic of traversing, the fact that the collision boxes on ramps often cause you to stop dead in your tracks, especially when you use a booster before hand, make getting around so annoying. the map is extremely bumpy and unfinished feeling, there is minimal detail in the cities and POIS, not to mention the fact that the dev could only be bothered to make one npc design makes it impossible to even remotely immerse myself into this world. there are many things that are also just completely missing collision and it once again makes the game feel even more incomplete. i also had to restart my game multiple times because i had quest glitch out and not work. next i would like to talk about the story, it feels insanely rushed. there is no intro whatsoever you bare basically just immediately thrown into the game with a couple lines of dialogue that give zero explanation on what's going on, and i get that's sort of the point but with everything else i've stated so far, the want to figure anything out never really comes. not to mention the fact that the explanation for unlocking new abilities is just thrown in there like the dev forgot to add it until the last second and just said "♥♥♥♥ it put something here" there is literally a line by perry the pig where at the end of a completely unrelated conversation he says " oh and you can press space to jump" no build up or relation at all, just completely thrown in. the story feels so unthought through on top of all this, the whole section that i played (which i can only imagine is also the rest of the game) feels like the one episode of rick and morty with mr meeseeks. just one person blaming someone else, you go find them, they blame someone else, etc. the variety in npc motivation gets tiring quickly and is just another reason its hard to continue to invest my time in this game. the game also cant decide wither or not my character is mute as there are some npcs that treat my responses as something that only they can hear, or something that just didnt happen at all. and last but not least, i noticed multiple instances of grammatical errors in quest names and dialogue bubbles. i am really upset with this game because i watched the video where it was first made and it showed so much promise that i wishlisted it immediately. what i imagine happened is the dev saw how much people wanted this game and instead of taking their time and making an enjoyable game, with good controls, and a story that makes sense, he rushed to put it out to make a quick buck. supppper dissapointing :(
