Former Assassin's Creed and Far Cry lead says the Simpsons game they worked on "is underrated" and "being able to walk around a recreation of Springfield was pretty fun in of itself"

As The Simpsons take over Fortnite, a designer of 2007's The Simpsons Game argues that it was actually quite underrated.

When someone says "The Simpsons game," a majority of us who are now pushing or have passed the age to put us in elderly status (30) will no doubt think of The Simpsons: Hit and Run, the iconic PS2 game that was effectively GTA: Springfield. Which is funny, because there was literally a game called "The Simpsons Game" released shortly after "The Simpsons Movie" (they were unrelated, however) which released three different versions across six platforms – each with a different box-art (shoutout to the solid DS side-scroller version).
