The Simpsons: Hit & Run is a satirical Grand Theft Auto clone action-adventure video game based on the American animated sitcomThe Simpsons, developed by Radical Entertainment and published by Vivendi Universal Games. It was released in 2003 for the GameCube, PlayStation 2, Xbox and Microsoft Windows. The story and dialogue were crafted by writers from The Simpsons, with all character voices supplied by the cast.

The game follows the Simpson family and their friend Apu Nahasapeemapetilon, who witness many strange incidents that occur in Springfield: security cameras, mysterious vans, crop circles, and a "new and improved" flavor of the popular soft drink Buzz Cola, which causes insanity. Taking matters into their own hands, they discover numerous shocking secrets, and soon realize these incidents are part of a larger alien conspiracy, caused by Kang and Kodos.

Upon release, the game received generally favorable reviews from video game critics, with praise particularly focused on the interpretation of The Simpsons television series as a video game and its parodical take on Grand Theft Auto III, while criticism mostly surrounded some aspects of gameplay.
