The Simpson's game is one giant parody of the video game industry. Using all the cliches possible, and thus is also it's downfall, whether the developer intentionally made the gameplay so generic as to parody the rest of the titles in this genre remains a mystery. Nevertheless some levels are a pain to just finish. If you do finish you are reward with what basically ends up as the player playing through a simpsons episode. The writing is clever and if you enjoy the simpsons and platformers you'll thoroughly enjoy this game. A couple camera issues some generic gameplay still can't take away from the charm of the script. Some unlockables and collectibles along with some great jokes for true Simpson's afficianod's will have you playing this game for awhile. Just take it for what is a pretty good simpson's episode that you get to play which makes it pretty cool.Vollständige Rezension lesen
I would say the game is a 4 out of 5. 1 It has a great sense of The Simpsons comedy. 2 Good Game Play in single player Mode. 3 Each Map is like a different Simpsons episode 4 Bart and hommer have some cool super powers Flaw 5 The multilayer has some Great possibility's to make a better game play, Controlling can be a bit hard at times with the split screen, It was as if the multilayer part of the game was a last minute addition before the game hit the stands. But all in all The Simpsons game Is a must have for any Simpsons lover.

The Simpson's Game is yet another game starring America's beloved dysfunctional family. 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. Basically, it's a really long episode of the Simpsons, as an episode it's spectacular....as a game, it's short. Gameplay: 6/10 Pros: Each family member has a different skill set, the levels offer a great variety and reference many classic episodes. Cons: Gameplay is a heavy copycat of 3rd person platformers and even includes a troublesome camera and resulting frustration. Graphics: 8/10 Pros: Playing this game is like playing the TV show. The game captures Springfield and the look of the show better than any other Simpsons game before it. Cons: The cartoon / cel-shaded look definitely doesn't push the PS3 or Xbox360 or is all that impressive up to other next gen games. Sound/Music: 9.5/10 Pros: The Voicework and effort of the actual cast in this game pays off. The story is great and the quips during gameplay to the actual script itself is fantastic and hysterical. Lasting Appeal: 3/10 Pros: You'll absolutely want to play through the story and enjoy the script/writing and humor. If you really care about collecting things...there's PLENTY of that. Cons: I beat the main game in about 3 days and 8 hours (Great rental - terrible buy). Now that I've seen the story, the gameplay, collectibles, achievements, etc. will not bring me back to the game. I don't care about collecting Homer's bottle caps, Bart's posters, etc. (though the Video game cliche's are pretty funnY). I'm done and it was fun while it lasted...just not $60 of fun. Average: 66.25% Tilt: -1.25% As a game, the Simpson's Game isn't very good. It is an amazing Simpsons Episode with a phenomenal script, excellent voicework and decent gameplay to get you through it all. It's a great licensed game, but unfortunately if this game wasn't the Simpson's and didn't have the money and quality voice work and humor, it would probably drop an additional 10 pts or so. If your a fan of the Simpsons, you gotta rent it. If you're only a gamer, forget it. Verdict: 65%Vollständige Rezension lesen
I purchased the game in hopes of finding something the younger kids could play and have fun with all the adventures. The Game is actually quite fun, for all ages. And if you are Familiar with the Simpson's T.V. show, the characters and action are very much true to form. However, I was a little disappointed with the language in the game. I was looking for something for the smaller children to play and this game, as I mentioned, was very true to the T.V. series. Language, attitudes and smart remarks... none of which I would allow for my grandkids. I found the game to be full of adventures, easy to play and still a challenge. But, it tends not to be totally appropriate for the age groups it tends to attract the most. The search goes on. Is there NOT a game writer/programmer that can put a game together that has adventure, challenge(progressive) fun.. without all the Blood, Guts, Gore, Killing, Mass murdering, Disrespect, lack of honor and the like, for growing kids.Vollständige Rezension lesen
The Simpsons Game is a very strange animal. On the one hand, it's the sort of rote, generally uninteresting action platformer that dozens of high-profile licenses have cribbed for nefarious game-making purposes over the years. Yet, at the same time, this is a game that knows what it is and takes every opportunity imaginable to riff on that very fact. The game is as much about mocking the various conventions of the game business as a whole as it is about being Simpsons fan service, which makes for a very weird and often hilarious experience; so much so that you almost forget the gameplay itself is still pretty uninteresting. Almost.
I was dying to try this game because it looked true to the show, unlike all the other Simpsons games. It is indeed "faithful" to the show with just about every character you can imagine popping up and lots of references to specific episodes. What it's got in humor though (much of the writing is show-quality hilarious), it lacks in game play. For the most part the game is fun but a bit repetative and the horrible camera really takes you out of it. The whole game is one big self-reference in an attempt to be unique but it doesn't always work. There's not a whole lot to explore in each level (though Springfield is huge), but even the exploring you can do is limited by the annoying camera angles. Sometimes you just can't look where you need to to make that jump or whatever. Anyway, if you're a Simpsons fan and you can find this game on ebay for under $20, it's very worth it. Real gamers will most likely be disappointed though.Vollständige Rezension lesen
This is a pretty good game--the cutscenes are hilarious. The gameplay itself is somewhat generic--general platforming. Not bad, though. The comments the characters make as you play are funny. The thing that made me HATE this game is this: the save system. I spent about seven hours playing this game. The game has an autosave function, so apparently you don't have to worry about saving your state. As I said, I spent over seven hours playing the game and I decided to give it a rest for the night. The next time I started up my 360, the game gave me the option to start a new game. Nothing else. The last time I played the game, I was in China, with Homer and Lisa. Before I quit the game, I made sure that the game was finished saving before I powered down. The saving screen ended, and I shut the console off. If you research this, you'll see that there's more than one complaint about this save system. It's a good game, but I can't bring myself to play it again because of the absolutely awful save system.Vollständige Rezension lesen
This game brings back memories of playing as a family! When one gets stuck, we pass the remote or help solve. We loved to watch the Simpsons too, so playing this game brought on a new sense of enjoyment.

Just like playing the TV show- Im not a gamer, but I steal time from my son on this! Split into 16 episodes - self-contained stories bound by their mutual desire to send up videogames - what we have here is a third-person platform game full of simple combat and puzzles, most of which is defensibly average, potentially stabilised by a lot of good jokes and the occasional moment of mild inspiration. The Simpsons have discovered that they are in a game, and have special powers to match, and each has different ideas about how to put them to use. As with the show, Homer's the star - he can burp people to death and transform into Homerball to bowl them out of the way, and gets most of the best gags. Bart can fire his slingshot, or turn into Bartman and hover across gaps; Lisa can stun enemies with her saxophone, or use Buddha statues to assume an aerial view of the level and deploy a hand-of-God UFO-Catcher to move things around; and Marge can use a megaphone to rally NPCs to help her, or shove Maggie into vents where she can pull switches and uncover collectibles. Pretty cool.Vollständige Rezension lesen
The Simpsons Game, where players assume the roles of all four members of the cartoon family that has been invading televisions since 1989. Fans were understandably concerned when they heard that the yellow-skinned, four-fingered quartet would be making their way not only into a full-length feature film but also into an EA-made videogame in the same year. While the movie didn't turn many heads with its humor, we're happy to report that the game certainly will, thanks to a sense of humor that can only be described as equal to Simpsons episodes of old. Heed the call, fans: this game is good. The game brings the cartoon household knowingly into their own videogame when Bart stumbles upon a game manual that has seemingly dropped from the heavens. What's inside the manual? Why it's the guide on how to use the family's all-important powers against their captors, of course! Along the way they'll be pitted against villains from the show, EA higher ups (yes, you read that right), and their creator - in more ways than one. While the plot of the game is functional, the real star of The Simpsons Game is the hilarity that ensues.Vollständige Rezension lesen
