How come this one hasn't been shown any love like a pc port or something else? I attempted at it with the ps2recomp tool, but I'm not smart enough for that (kept getting some reboot error that idk what it meant or how to fix) but I thought EA's license for The Simpsons expired so its "technically" not in a limbo anymore (its just in Disney's hands now). I'm just curious on why its just hit and run and road rage (in hit and run) cause that game is fun. (even if its not the 360 version with the open world) Would be cool to see a native pc port of that game.

Hello there!
The Simpsons Game is probably not as loved for many reasons (depends on people that have played it ig), but to me it is because it lacks replayability. Once you complete it, it does not have as much value as The Simpsons Hit & Run does.
While it is a good game (with mechanics shar could only dream of), there just isn't anything to do once you complete it. You finish it & move on.
Shar on the other hand allows you to roam freely in Springfield, whether it is on foot or by car.
This is just my opinion on it, other people could have different reasons as to why they prefer one more than the other.

The best part about TSG (Xbox & PS3) is the open world Springfield you get to roam between missions. But unless you play as Homer with full upgrades to exploit the Homerball Speed Boost, there isn't really a way to get around the map quickly, unless you use the fast travel bus stops. I feel the game would have been a lot more replay-able if you could unlock drivable vehicles, and maybe even open up the closed off sections of the map that were only used during missions.

I'm sure I saw someone on here working on a mod to port the map over to TSHAR, but that was years ago.

What's funny is, the most complete map of Springfield that includes all locations (one-offs to mains), is Road Rage, the one with the least favourable graphics.

If Blender and I had been able to get along better, I was working on an entirely custom built map of Springfield that would have included every building and location from TSG mixed with the buildings and locations from TSHAR, then everything else filled in from TSRR.

A fully combing Road Rage map, made to work in SHAR's campaign made would be awesome
