29/04/2024 UPDATE: Hey everyone, KZbin has glitched out on this video and for some reason restored the merch promo I cut out at the beginning, but without restoring the audio and so the entire video is majorly out of sync. I'll be in contact with the support team to hopefully get this resolved soon! 30/04/2024 UPDATE: I've fixed it now! Still have no idea why it happened, but I was able to revert to the original in KZbin Studio and then cut the promo out again. Enjoy :) Also, 5 years?! How time flies...

Fun Fact: In the final stages of development, the devs were told to change how gravity works because it "just didn't feel right". This, of course, ruined how every jump in the game functioned which is why it's so easy to drive off ledges or crash into walls after getting serious air.

Not even a little bit of an exaggeration, my PS2, was on consistently for over 30 months straight. I did not turn it off, at all. And it ran, perfectly the entire time, and works JUST as well, to this day. True fact. The original xbox and PS2 Are 2 of the best and hardiest consoles ever made.

[@OtsileM]

@@jaysonisgreat DAMN. Our PS2 would eventually freeze a couple hours into the next day. Then we'd have to restart. It was the slim line though.

Mine was the slim, as well.

I had the same problem on my ps2 with GTA San Andreas. BUUUUTTTTT i had an Xbox too so i played Hit and run on that

Man this game gives me great nostalgia I remember being young and finding it at GameStop in one of those BARGAIN bins it was 2$ I've watched this particular video 4 times in the past year just to reminder of how great this game was on my childhood. Also thanks Tamago for this video your one of my favorite tubers

[@Thomasmemoryscentral]

Did you get it for $2? That's now worth triple amount these days

[@joshuafoote5144]

I'm glad they managed to make a GOOD Simpsons game for a change. Even if it is difficult.

[@NoobPwnzor147]

I never watched The Simpsons, but when I was younger, this game had such a profound effect on me and was (and still is) one of my favorite games of all time. And despite not really watching the show, I still knew the characters, got attached to them, and loved all the references that I did happen to know from the show. The soundtrack and gameplay were so enjoyable and I could play this game constantly.

[@FreeDarth]

NoobPwnzor147 right 💯

[@parkslog8975]

Exact same for me. I think of Homer eating Lisa’s science project every time I saw Homer Simpson on screen.

[@AlmightyPolarBear]

This comment is pretty much me. I never was into the show, but I loved the game and all its content.

[@PuckDaily]

I feel the same way about the movie. Never watched the show but seen the movie 800 times (back in the cd days when we had like 10 movies to interchange) and brings back much laughter and nostalgia.

Don't feel too bad I only realised LAST YEAR that when you get 100 percent in every level you can go to the phone booth and press r1 (for ps2) and bring up a new menu that lets you drive any car in any level. For example you can use the toy car in level 1
