I'm done and it was fun while it lasted.just not $60 of fun.Īs a game, the Simpson's Game isn't very good. (though the Video game cliche's are pretty funnY). I don't care about collecting Homer's bottle caps, Bart's posters, etc. Now that I've seen the story, the gameplay, collectibles, achievements, etc. If you really care about collecting things.there's PLENTY of that.Ĭons: I beat the main game in about 3 days and 8 hours (Great rental - terrible buy). Pros: You'll absolutely want to play through the story and enjoy the script/writing and humor. The story is great and the quips during gameplay to the actual script itself is fantastic and hysterical. Pros: The Voicework and effort of the actual cast in this game pays off. The game captures Springfield and the look of the show better than any other Simpsons game before it.Ĭons: The cartoon / cel-shaded look definitely doesn't push the PS3 or Xbox360 or is all that impressive up to other next gen games.
Pros: Playing this game is l ike playing the TV show. Pros: Each family member has a different skill set, the levels offer a great variety and reference many classic episodes.Ĭons: Gameplay is a heavy copycat of 3rd person platformers and even includes a troublesome camera and resulting frustration. Basically, it's a really long episode of the Simpsons, as an episode it's spectacular.as a game, it's short. It is a licensed game that features all the voice actors (there's over 8,000 original lines for the game or something ridiculously high) and some animated segments/shorts.

T hat is fine for me, as I do not care to play a game for months on end, but that may be a downside for most people. Likes: Graphics are good most of the time, story line is funny, special moves/powers are fun, it feels like you are controlling an episode of the Simpsons.ĭislikes: Does not have the same feel as the arcade game (a remake of the arcade game with online multiplayer would be great), Action is not continuous (you have to go around the town of Springfield to find missions, rather than non-stop action), the game is pretty easy.Īdditional Commentary: Although I have not played it all the way through yet, I hear that this game can be completed in about 7 hours.

Secondly, she can set Maggie free in small areas, such as air ducts, where she can find crucial objects that the other characters can't reach.

In addition, Bart's cape allows him to glide long distance, making him the ideal character when exploring unknown environments. Not only is it absurdly powerful, but it also has an impressive range.
