The Simpsons Hit & Run was an absolute classic hailing from the age of the PlayStation 2 era, with gameplay similar to the Grand Theft Auto series. Most games that adapt TV/Film turn out to be clinical failures with linear gameplay and lacklustre storytelling but this Simpsons title went against the grain in those aspects.

The game even today is just plain and simple fun and you could be forgiven for spending hours glued to the screen with a controller welded to your hands. However, the game remains stuck in the past, and in need of a graphical and mechanical uplift.

Now, this isn't a Resident Evil 2 from the ground-up style of remake, keep the core concepts alive and kicking, much like Crash N'Sane Trilogy.

With games like GTA V dominating the open-world market, but not being "officially" made for kids, The Simpsons Hit & Run remake would be a perfect child-to-teen targeted title to plug the gap.
