    The Simpson cell shading looks beautiful in HD, and is one of the first to be a 3d game that looks hand drawn like the cartoon. The humor in the chatter during the game play keeps the expected simpsons style humor up to par with TV Series, play the game for the humor. If you are simpson's fan, this title is a must have. If you are looking for new and innovative game play, and revolutionary graphics-you are missing the purpose of the game. Expand

    I'm gonna keep this short: if you're a longtime Simpsons fan, buy this game. You'll love it. If you aren't a fan, don't waste your time. It's that simple.

    Nice looking and an especially great sounding game!! Not only is the Dialog funny and spot on, but the music and sound effects warrant praise. The music is right on and each level seems to have a very different aural palette.

    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.

    This game is an enormous cliche. Cliche enemies, cliche puzzles, cliche plot, cliche everything. And while the idea of making the graphics 2D-into-3D was original, the result is scribbly, thick-lined doodles that would make an amateur artist weep.

    This is the best game I've seen since NHL 08. It's awesome with lots of hilarious scenes. EA takes a jab at video games and does a great job.

    As a fan of the Simpsons, I was a little disappointed to hear some of the negative press surrounding this game. However, I've always held true to the mantra of forming my own opinion, and here's what I've got to say about the game. While I've only spent a couple of hours with it so far, I can tell you that from what I've seen it's a pretty easy outing (it appears to have a difficulty curve, but as the missions become some more complex, it's nothing that an accomplished gamer will have any trouble with). The camera has not really been a nuisance, and I actually think the controls are pretty solid, considering what most of these people have to say about it - it's designed to do what you're character is supposed to do, and it doesn't cause too much frustration. The game itself, however, is the true goodie here, and with so much focused on the negative things in these reviews I think it's fitting to mention that if you're a fan you've definitely got to try this one out. I was a big fan of Hit & Run, but I found it kind of disappointing that the game was pretty crappy outside of the vehicles (THAT was a game that featured an annoying control scheme when you were walking around). I feel EA has done a pretty solid job at adapting the series and would certainly recommend this game to anyone who enjoys the series and is looking for a casual and albeit amusing poke at the history of video games.

    This game really captured the feel of the simpsons show. the storyline and the conversations between characters are both hilarious. I felt compelled to try and collect every single item in the game, even though it did get a little boring doing so. I really loved the way they poked fun of several other games , it made for some really good laughs. Overall, a very well done game that anyone remotely interested in the Simpsons should play! 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

    It only has about 18 levels, so it is undoubtedly short, but the humor and the gameplay are what makes it work. It is one of the best Simpsons games to date.

    It's pretty fun in co-op and i find the graphics are excellent. The 40 minutes of simpsons footage is a bonus. The framerate can take a hit at times, but the game is fun enough to shrug right through it. Creative levels and stuff, but I never felt compelled to finish the game

  1. Untimately, though, The Simpsons lives and dies on the strength of its gameplay and here it doesn't particularly shine. [Nov 2007, p.64]
  2. Hysterical as Simpsons is, it's hard to appreciate the humor when you're busy fighting with an annoying camera and unreliable controls. [Dec 2007, p.108]

    While the action can be uneven -- though never bad -- creativity and charm carry the game to a higher level. The humor will get you through the slow levels, the authentic voices and writing will satisfy your fanatcism, and the cameos... will keep you entertained.
