But sometimes we do get random games through because of luck. Recently we got aladin and lion King remasters because the love action films. But it's sad when the CEO of a major corporation is moronic enough to think a multi BILLION (YES billion) dollar industry I just a fucking dad. So many people look down on gamers and video games. It's such a out dated mindset.

Honestly considering the fact how long it's been when Hit and Run came out and the fact that the original developer company doesn't exists anymore and the rights being in the hands of Disney now, it's a long fetch that a sequel will ever come out. Somethings are never meant to be and this is one of the examples.

I joined Vivendi in 2004 as a tester in hopes that I'd get to work on the sequel, so this video provides some much needed closure on why that deal fell through. I had a few peeks behind the Hit & Run curtain after I joined the marketing department but there wasn't much to see from my particular perch. So then I joined EA in 2007 after I learned they got the license. (I was determined to work on a Simpsons game!) I did work on the The Simpsons Game but it was a bummer when I saw that they abandoned the open world mission structure. It packs in a lot of great material and is arguably more Simpsony for it, but we all know how the gameplay and pacing disappointed. As a tester I only had so much influence but I still appreciate all the work we put into making the game what it turned out to be. One last hurrah for a AAA Simpsons game experience, eh?

My mom does not play video games, but she sure as hell plays this one. I bought a PS2 & this game for her birthday and she was soooooo happy. When I was little she used to be playing Hit & Run when I woke up for school and she'd still be playing it in her pajamas when I got home from school haha.

My favourite game of all time. I'm glad they didn't do a Hit and run 2 because the original was as close to perfect as a game can be and deserves to be remembered as such.

You can tell just how much love there was put on this game. Too bad the developers didn't have the chance to perfect their idea.

I played Road Rage like crazy but for some reason never got around to playing Hit & Run even to this day. It's been something I've wanted to start playing ever since I picked it up a few years ago but just haven't had the time.

The controls for Hit and run were great, and that would make or break a driving game. Being able to drift and turn is rather important, and H&R nailed it.

It really does. I always felt like I was doing so much better at missions but it turns out the game was helping me. But it does it in such a great way that you don't feel babied by it. I don't think this counts for bonus missions though, or races. Just the story based ones. The first bonus mission with Cletus from Level 1 never got easier xD

Same I remember having this game much MUCH younger before but I had a ps1 at the time, however even more fondly times came with my father having a shop and there was the TV to hook my PS2, lots of endearing games but Hit and Run (Which I bought again due to not having it anymore as several years have passed.) Still sticks out as an important part of my younger not as corrupted life. I remember this game cooking my typical saucy hot pocket there, my little brother plays it there sometimes but me and the Boi's (childhood friends.) Hang out playing it... And MAN was some of the levels incredibly challenging/hard more even in the very last mission where every obstacle seeks to stop you sending the waste to the Alien space ship. The songs were also just as memorable some of which stick out today the same way.

It seems to me like licensed games, especially ones based on TV shows, do need quite a bit of time between the first game and the sequel, especially if a majority of the game is references. The two South Park games for example, the Stick of Truth was filled to the brim with references from throughout the entire show up through it's release, while I remember Fractured But Whole, likely to avoid reusing too many references/jokes that were used in the first game, mostly had references from episodes that aired between both games releases.

I loved this game but I seem to remember running into a glitch with collecting the bees. I think that you had to collect 100 or something and I was always stuck at 99. I ended up using a guide and one of the bees was definitely missing.
