While plagued with the repetitive and sometimes oddly difficult missions (there are really only ~3 different kinds) that remind you this is a licensed game primarily targeting children, Hit & Run is filled with so much love for its source material that it more than makes up for it. Getting to explore Springfield colorfully realized in 3D with references to tons of classic Simpsons gags is the true appeal. The repetition of the final "fight" is mind-numbing but the experience was still good fun overall.

And I'm sure if you played this as a kid not allowed to have GTA, it did a great job filling that role.
