Kudos to Konami for giving us Simpsons fans everywhere finally what we've always wanted.
It feels like travelling to the past. Solid gameplay, but the dated graphics, while appealing to nostalgics, may well put off younger players. Still, definitely worth a look for any Simpsons fan.

this game reminds me of times when I used to sit infront of an arcade console and wasted hundreds of quarters on the same level! I really enjoyed this game and it always puzzled me why they didn't put it on home consoles? but now they have and It's...... ok. Once again they almost butchered z good arcade game. the graphics are timeless and the sound jumps out and in sometimes but overall, not bad. the controls are just like in the arcade wich works really well surprisingly. However, this is my problem with arcade ports: the life system is broken beyond reapir. In the arcade, you put in quarters and that was your extra lives but, at home..... you only press start so you have unlimited lives. this makes the game INCREDIBLY easy and there isn't any adversity to overcome! overall it's a classic beat em' up and I enjoy playing it alone or with friends.

Not only does it faithfully bring back the experience, but it's as complete of a package as one could ask for.
Fondly remembering The Simpsons Arcade is the caveat, though, as nostalgia is a key component to enjoyment. Objectively, by today's standards, The Simpsons Arcade is not very good. It's a brainless button-masher that is beaten through sheer attrition, and is so numbingly repetitive that one's thumb will feel arthritic despite the incredibly short length. To anybody playing this game for the first time, it's not going to be looked upon favorably in the least. However, Konami didn't release it for people new to the game.
A little too easy and loose to really deliver the goods. With all the other solid brawlers on offer, it's difficult to see The Simpsons as anything but an innocent waste of time.
Mostly, The Simpsons Arcade Game is a phoned-in port. With so many companies generating improved remakes and ports, it's sad to see that Revolution has chosen to run something so simplistic for a game that hasn't aged very well.
If you have cherished memories of playing The Simpsons Arcade Game, keep holding on to them and ignore this port.
If your basing a review on the length of this game then you're reading the wrong review. This game is for Simpsons fans and arcade fans of the genre that Konami was king of back in the day. Its easy to play, its funny, and its an absolute blast to play it with 4 people. I pumped so many quarters in this game back in the day, $10 to play the game while sitting on my couch is a steal. And when you beat the game, just start a new one! It takes 5-7 hours to beat MW2, MW3 or Black Ops but no one complains about that because its CoD. And that game is $60 reskinnned every year!!

The pre-release of the arcade classic, which was showing its age in 1991 is BACK! Of course the graphics and gameplay are awful, but you should already know that, so it shouldn't have anything to do with the overall score. Should it? Actually it does, as your paying 800 MSP for a arcade game. 400 MSP would be a more justified price as it is not that much bigger or more complex , then the games 'Gameroom' provides. I would recommend playing the trial, as you will probably get all the nostalgia you'll need. Trust me after about 4 playthroughs you will never touch this again. Achievements 7/10 a fairly easy 200 points and makes you do a variety of objectives. Could be done in 2-5 hours, depending on skill. The reason why this game gets a 5/10, is because it is really good fun/nostalgia for the first 30 minutes- 1 hour. But after that you will, no doubt get bored. And is it worth £6.50 in MSP for that? Seriously just play the trial. It would be looking at a much higher review if it did what HALO CE did. Classic mode and remastered.
