The Simpsons Hit & Run
I picked it up when it came out for $30. I understand you can get it for $25 now.
Some people find it repetitive and boering, but if you're a Simpsons Fan you love it. Actually, the driving missions are repetitive, but I like them. It's more loaded with nice little touches that any other game I can remember. Every so often it makes me belly laugh too.
Sweet graphics and it runs like liquid butter. I've been playing at 1280x1024x32 with x6 fsaa / x16af and it runs smooth as silk.
It's like a cartoon GTA. You start as playing Homer, and just when that got boering to me, you start playing as Bart in a totally different map area.
It plays a lot like GTA3 on the surface except no weapons and when you're on foot the camera doesn't stay behind you - there are camera keys (akward at first).
Oh... I should mention that every simpson character I've ever seen on the show seems to be any the game. I haven't seen all of them (yet) - but it's really close. Also, every "location" on the show is in this game.
