Brief synopsis of The Simpsons Game

The Simpsons Game features a hilarious, sprawling, and mind-busting storyline crafted by the TV show's Emmy Award-winning writers. In this action-comedy, the full cast of voice actors from the TV show and movie reprise their roles to lend the ultimate in authenticity and realism to 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 multiple popular games.

Wow!

This is a real dissapointment.

I Have to admit Hit and Run is much much much better.

This lacks: Graphics, Gameplay Characters.

The game is unbelievable - One mission i had to climb on a plane but i couldn't jump to it and their was a pole... I Was so stuck that I read a walkthrough and You had to do the most stupidest thing - Jump on the pole to break it. - Its pretty stupid.

Rated - 2 starsentertaining, but infuriating

I agree with most of the reviews the graphics are not superb, but this is based on a 2-D cartoon and I thought it was best kept this way... Simpsons hit and run was 3-D and looked a bit daft as a result.

The gameplay is awkward at best the camera only moves to certain angles and objects get in the way of seeing the characters. Objects that need an action, such as Homer's helium, have to be approached at a certain angle and you need to be a certain distance away... very annoying when your fighting at the same time.

Oh and when the advert told you that you could play with many characters on the programme, they were being a little untruthful... Im 3 levels from the end and have only played as the simpsons themselves, as opposed to hit and run where you were Cleetus, Apu etc

all in all an entertaining way to spend a weekend, but you would be better with something more fun and with better gameplay, my suggestion? Lego Star Wars!
