Vivendi has given away some new details surrounding their new Simpsons title, The Simpsons: Hit and Run.

This is the basic story behind the game. Strange goings on are occuring in Springfield. When Homer decides to investigate a mysterious black van parked outside his home, a new adventure begins.

The Simpsons: H&R will be a mission based drive around Springfield. However, you can now explore the cartoon world on foot, playing as your favourite character. Exactly what you’ll be doing on foot is yet to be confirmed, but you can bet it’ll tie in with the TV programmes. The full list of new details is shown below.

  • Over 56 driving and on-foot missions in 7 huge levels spread out over the familiar Springfield landmarks
  • Explore Springfield like never before – ON FOOT - as Homer, Bart, Apu, Marge, and Lisa.
  • For the first time, explore the interiors of locations like the Kwik-e-mart, the Power Plant, and even the Simpsons home.
  • Brand new story and dialogue written by award-winning The Simpsons writers
  • Voiced by The Simpsons cast for full brand authenticity
  • Drive as 17 different characters including Cletus, Comic Book Guy, and Principal Skinner with his nagging Mother as a backseat driver.
  • Over 40 unique vehicles to unlock including Homer's Mr. Plow and Cletus's pick-up truck.
  • Pick-up-and play game controls are inviting for non-gaming Simpsons fan while challenging the serious gamer
  • In-game animated gags and hidden jokes throughout the environments give the genuine feel of being in an episode of The Simpsons.
  • Hidden pickups containing episode-specific bonus material from the last 14 seasons to reward The Simpsons fan and increase the shelf life of title.
  • Multiplayer mode for up-to 4 players in unlockable driving challenges.

    A strong license means this will sell well, but let’s hope they make it a little more inspiring than The Simpsons: Road Rage, eh?
