 Great Present December 22, 2008

There are a couple things I liked about this game. First is that it reminded me of the good old days of the Simpsons when it was still good. It was also very playable. Many of the levels are logic puzzles and that is a refreshing change from the generic shoot em'ups that have come out. Much was less complex than I would have liked but understandable since it is designed mainly for kids.
Overall it is worth the time and money
 if you call yourself a simpsons fan just buy it September 7, 2008

this really is the best simpsons game i have ever played. i scored it pretty low only because i am relly critical. in this game you can play as Homer, Bart, Lisa, Marge w/Maggie. Homer is by far the best he can become homer ball and run people or objects over, has a killer burp. and later can become gummy homer. Bart has a sling shot, lame, and bartman cape to glide. lisa has a budah medatation attack which can move large objects, and has a saxophone attack. marge has a saxaphone which can gather mobs from people walking by, order them to atack. and carries maggie on her back which can send her thru small spaces to collect objects.
the voice acting is great, 5 star, super funny. sounds just like an episode. the graphics are also great, again just like an episode. except at some times durring video scenes.
the game play is average. beat the badguy save the town. you battle nelson, aliens, game animators, and matt groening. it's a fun game but i was hoping for more freeplay and interaction in springfield. not enough playable characters. no online multiplayer. if you are not a diehard simpsons fan, it's a Pass. if you ARE a diehard fan you must play
Fun, but short July 31, 2008

I had a great time playing this game. Making Homer super-fat and playing as Bartman was awesome! By far this is the best Simpsons game so far. My only complaint about it is that it was too short. It took me less than 22 hours to beat the entire game. All in all though, if you want a game that will make you laugh and lives up to the Simpsons name, then pick this one up!
Suprisingly, an amazing game! July 3, 2008
In the past, all games based on T.V. or movies have been horrible, so approaching this game with caution makes sense. That said, this game stands on its own as a fun, innovative, and quirky game that isn't just for die-hard Simpsons fans, but for anyone looking for a quick laugh and some solid, fun gameplay.
Perhaps the game's greatest asset is the clever humor, which often pokes fun at ever-present video game cliches and has all the Simpsons style and wit without making you feel trapped in endless re-runs of shows you've already seen. Everything is creative and feels pertinent to the game and its characters rather than "stealing" from the humor of the television series.
The animated cutscenes that appear in different parts of the game feel like a reward for advancement, and are always worth whatever trial it took to earn them as they really immerse you in the simpsons world.
The gameplay is the game's next huge asset. Though the quirky humor and funny story keep you interested, the gameplay is addictive and fun. Each simpson character has different powers, and these powers are used to solve various puzzles. Indeed, each segment of the game is basically a different type of puzzle, and figuring out how to use your characters together to solve tasks can be challenging but is always rewarding. These puzzles are always within reach, so with a little trial and error you will be able to solve them without needing to consult a team of geniuses or the internet. Also within the game are various mini-games that pay homage to video game classics like Gauntlet or Asteroids, and they fit perfectly with the game's style and plot without feeling forced.
Though the gameplay is amazingly addictive and the story is fresh and funny, the game has some faults. Like many platformers, the camera angles are sometimes frustrating, though through the entire game this was only a complaint a few times, and even then a minor one. Perhaps the most noticable fault is that the game is short, though getting all the collectibles and getting within the target time would certainly keep you busy for a while. Also, the enemies are sometimes annoyingly tough while bosses are shockingly easy. Though the puzzles are fun, the actual combat system isn't all that great, which makes the enemies feel like "filler" between one puzzle and the next.
Still, this game is a good buy, surprisingly good as its own game, regardless of the often over-used Simpsons franchise. Any Simpsons fan should buy it, and anyone looking for a quick, fun game will enjoy it too.
