“Brilliant and Entertaining”

By William (nowgamer.com) Read the full review

This Game is a really interesting one. It has an amazing storyline and funny cut-scenes. The loading doesn't take very long. The buttons are the same as any other game. You don't have the freedom that you have on Simpsons : Hit and Run but it is still...

It's funny. It's Springfield. It's lacking in good gameplay.

By drgdug (cnet.com) Read the full review

I read the reviews and bought the game expecting hours of fun. It didn't happen. Yes, you can spend lots of time exploring Springfield, but that gets old after a short while. Yes, there is special, never before seen "Simpson" comedy, but no more than...

Unique Simpson humor

No fun, therefore boring

Expected too much... Definitely was a let down

By tjonesbusiness (cnet.com) Read the full review

I will have to say that I had too much expectation when I bought The Simpsons Game. It starts by showing the cartoon which is clever and funny BUT when it switched to the game, I was floored at how horrible the graphics looked (not that you can expect...

Just enough to keep you entertained- funny

Relatively short, easy and mindless- camera angles are HORRIBLE

Manufacturer's Description

The Simpsons is the most mind-blowing marvelous video game ever to feature Homer Simpson as a big green lump of candy. When the Simpsons find themselves stuck in video game purgatory, it'll take everything they have to get back to the safe haven of their living room couch in Springfield. And they'll need a lot more than that. They'll need a huge arsenal of power-ups and your guiding hand to boot. The game lets you enjoy more than 6,000 lines of original dialog written by the Emmy Award...

The Simpsons Game (PS3) review

By Chris Sanderson (darkzero.co.uk)

When you first turn the game on you can see that EA and the Simpsons team have worked hard on the visual aspects of this title. The cut scenes are high resolution and there is a vector style art for the movies and cel-shaded graphics for game itself....

The game overall is fairly good and worth a look if you're a fan, but there are a lot of better platformers out there such as Mario Sunshine (Wii) and Ratchet & Clank: Tools of Destruction (PS3). Compared to those, The Simpsons is lacking in the...

Only worth it for hardcore Simpsons fans.

The Simpsons Game (Xbox 360) review

By David Hall (darkzero.co.uk)

The Simpsons have been around a long time, some would say too long. There's no denying there has been a definite slump in quality of the show and now they're getting just as tiresome in other media too. How many Simpsons games have there been over the...

God knows, I've lost count, but one thing the majority have had in common is being shameless cash-ins. I vowed never to buy another Simpsons game because of this, although the last two weren't bad they were highly derivative, crazy taxi and GTA clones...

The Simpsons Game (Wii)

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,...

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...

The Simpsons Game: Best. Simpsons Game. Ever.

By Shawn Rider (gamesfirst.com)

The Simpsons are a perennial videogame topic. Many of the games created in the franchise are utterly forgettable. (Anyone up for a round of Simpsons Wrestling? Didn't think so...) But there have been a few well-done Simpsons games: Simpsons Hit and Run...

Excellent writing and voice acting, two-player cooperative, lots of fan service

Occasionally wonky controls / camera, graphics are inconsistent, marred by the worst demo ever

So The Simpsons Game leaves plenty of room for the next Simpsons game to improve upon its predecessors, and at the same time it manages to deliver a thoroughly enjoyable experience, especially for fans of the TV show. If you are a longtime Simpsons...

The Simpsons Game isn't a direct rip-off of any particular game. It sticks to a platform/action approach and uses the whole world of videogames for its satirical fodder. The result is a Simpsons game that may be slightly less polished in terms of...

The Simpsons Game

By DAVID WILLSON (evergeek.com)

Videogame tie-ins rarely make for good games -- not that TV, movie and merchandising cross-overs can't be good game fodder, they usually just aren't because they sell well enough to a fan base as is. While The Simpsons Game does have plenty of laughs...

The Simpsons television series has been on the air for nearly twenty years, and while the show is known for its hallmark satirical look at the American family, their videogame incarnations have been less than memorable. In the latest game, simply...

The Simpsons

By Jeff Paramchuk (videogametalk.com)

Ever since Bart Vs. The Space Mutants, I've dreaded playing games based on North America's favorite animated family, The Simpsons. It took a lot of years before a decent game came out in the form of Hit and Run, but even that suffered some issues. Then...

While playing through the game was actually quite enjoyable thanks to the humor aspect, the gameplay itself is very uninspired and quite frankly a little dull. Why oh why does the Medal of Homer level not feature massive gunplay rather than the flag...

Despite my unlocking of the Pwned achievement, the Simpsons is not a difficult game by any standard and can easily be completed in a single day. While perfectionists will likely take longer than the roughly 7 hour game thanks to massive numbers of...
