I'm not saying this game will replace "Tony Hawk 4," but I found it a heckuva lot more engaging and fun than "THPS3."
-
60Enough depth in its skate tour of Springfield to satisfy most fans of the show.
-
58You're better off going with the pro. [Jan 2003, p.52]
-
If you’re a fan of The Simpsons (who isn’t?) it’s likely that after the initial appeal wears off you’ll be left with a game that’s better served as a coffee-coaster.
-
Jumping has the buoyancy of Homer after a big box of glazed doughnuts. [Jan 2003, p.176]
-
50Yes, it’s half-amusing to see Marge do a 360 with her beehive do for, oh, about 10 seconds, but really, let’s just keep the skateboarding to experts like Bart and Tony Hawk.
-
Overall, the Code Monkeys have done EA proud. [Dec 2002, p.84]
-
Worst of all is the control system. It may be understandable that the most difficult combos will only ever be pulled off by a genius (or accidentally by an epileptic), but even the simple commands prove sluggish.
-
46Nothing could have prepared me for the sheer boredom and frustration that is Simpsons Skateboarding. Being the rabid Simpsons fan that I am, I feel cheated by Electronic Arts for putting out this slapped-together load of garbage.
-
40There’s nothing in Skateboarding's control, look, sound or execution that comes even remotely close to looking like the game was made with PlayStation 2 technology in mind.
-
Control is brutal in this game, forcing players to grit their teeth and redo each maneuver multiple times before it registers correctly.
-
39The game itself is executed poorly enough that neither fans of the cartoon nor fans of action sports games will want to have anything to do with it.
-
It’s sluggish and unresponsive and absolutely riddled with annoying bugs that should have been detected early in the production process.
-
The controls are done well but the lack of speed really kills.
-
30If you’re looking for "Tony Hawk Pro Skater" for a much younger crowd or really love the show, Simpsons Skateboarding will surely disappoint.
-
The gameplay is just short of completely unredeemable. [Jan 2003, p.132]
-
25Not fun, and not funny. Thus, this game fails on both levels.
-
20Let's not beat about the bush and get straight to the obvious: Simpsons Skateboarding is diabolical... a cash-in in the purest sense of the term.
-
18If you like The Simpsons and love skateboarding, you'll still hate this awful game... One of the worst games of 2002.
-
This may very well be the worst PS2 game on the market... The outcome is nothing short of a resounding d'oh! [Dec 2002, p.123]
-
The gameplay is absolutely atrocious. Imagine a game where you can’t turn around without fighting the controller, where jumping is completley inaccurate, and the only way to finish the game is completing controller functions that will quite literally have you hating yourself for picking up this title in the first place.
