  • Summary: The Simpsons Game features a hilarious, sprawling, and mind-busting storyline crafted by the TV show's Emmy Award-winning writers. The action-comedy also features the full cast of voice actors from the TV show who reprise their roles for the game. In The Simpsons Game, Homer, Marge, Bart, and Lisa use exciting, all-new powers to save the world from rising chaos. To help the Simpsons, gamers at home must journey through all of Springfield (as well as vast worlds beyond!), vanquish an amazing array of villains, and fight their way through parodies of popular games.

    Its gameplay isn't any more innovative than the average action title, and the camera is as ridiculously dysfunctional as the Simpsons family, but the stellar story more than atones for it, as The Simpsons Game is the best Simpsons game to date, bringing Springfield and its denizens to life as never before.

    This game is fan service in its most pure form. It is a shame that the camera is, as Mr. Sparkle would say "Most-ah Disrespectful-ooh" to the polish present in much of the rest of the game.
  3. The A.V. Club

    It's blunt, dumb, ridiculous, and almost never funny. Never mind that this action platformer is buggy, dull, and handles like wet cardboard, or that the faces look like they were drawn on an Etch-A-Sketch. A weak game could pass, if only it had some good laughs.

    It's hard to put my finger on, but the gameplay in this title just doesn't flow. The way you progress through the missions, the puzzles, the collision detection, the fighting, the camera...nothing feels quite right. On the plus side, the game has absolutely incredible production values, which may be enough to satisfy the hardcore fans of the show.… Expand

    One of the worst games I have ever had the misfortune to play, a bug ridden, pointless waste of time and money. Take your money and either burnt or give it to charity both would be more fun and or rewarding than playing The Simpson's Game… Expand
