As we can read on Wikipedia, The Simpsons Hit & Run is an action-adventure game based on the animated sitcom The Simpsons. It was released for the GameCube, Xbox, PlayStation 2 on September 2003. The game’s developer, Radical Entertainment, received the rights to create games for The Simpsons franchise when they demonstrated a playable prototype. Radical released its first The Simpsons game in 2001 called The Simpsons Road Rage, a parody of the Crazy Taxi series of video games. After Road Rage was released, the development team for Hit & Run decided not to create a direct sequel to Road Rage. Instead, Radical wanted to steer the franchise’s video game series in a different direction by giving the game engine a complete overhaul.
In the game’s booklet, there are some beta images that shows the character mission mugs were in 3D too rather than animated. One has a display mode in options. In Tips & Tricks No. 105 in 2003, some character’s clothes were identified in the wrong episode. For example, Lisa’s “cool” outfit info says that it’s from the episode Little Girl In the Big Ten, but it’s actually from Summer of 4 ft. 2. Lisa didn’t wear that outfit in Little Girl In the Big Ten. Marge’s inmate outfit from Marge in Chains is originally periwinkle and short-sleeved, but the red-orange color may come from another episode. Facts say that Maggie is a playable character in the game, but for unknown reasons, she was replaced with Apu Nahasapeemapetilon in the final game.

Road Rage is a 2017 vehicular combatracing video game developed by Team 6 Studios and published by Maximum Games, released worldwide on November 14, 2017 for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. The title was inspired by the famed Road Rash series of video games, which feature similar gameplay mechanics.[1]
Road Rage is set in the open world, fictitious city of Ashen. Players ride around on a motorcycle and are free to explore the city at their leisure. Ashen itself is divided into seven districts, ranging from the downtown core to suburban farmland. Gameplay in Road Rage is composed mostly of standard 'circuit' races, time trials, the performing of stunts and assassinations of rival bikers, all of which and more are encountered throughout the campaign. While racing, players are armed with melee weapons which may be used to attack opponents. Combat takes place entirely on the bike while driving, with players being able to simultaneous accelerate and hit opposing racers with weapons such as baseball bats, hockey sticks, axes and long knives. The motorcycle can be upgraded via cash won from events, with an option to buy improved vehicles and additional weapons present as well.
The game features both split-screen and online multiplayer alongside the single player campaign. Both modes feature up to four players in events similar to those found in the campaign.
Originally announced in February, 2016,[1] the game was intended to be released in late 2016, but was pushed back one year to October, 2017.[2] After one more delay, the game officially released on November 14, 2017, in both digital and physical formats, at a budgeted price of USD$29.99 and CAD$39.99.
