This review is from: The Simpsons Game (Video Game)

I am an adult gamer and decided to get this game based on the reviews here.

Sure enough, it is fun and challenging. You never lose lives. I had alot of fun playing it. Some parts were hard but I got over it after some practicing. You have to collect all the coins, papers and cliches. I completed the game but got only 97% because I wasn't able to get all the items I needed. There were times I wanted to go back after seeing that I missed a coin over there, but once you across a certain point, you cannot go back. Unless you want to start over again on that certain level.

It is rated T due to mild language. It is almost easy enough for kids but due to the language they had to rate it a 'T'.

The game does save where you left off. Graphics are great & colorful, just like the TV cartoon.

Recommended for those who want a silly, fun and kind of short game.

The simpsons is something that we all know and love. They have been in and around our lives for about 20 years now, and I beleive that no other animated series will ever come to portray the greatness that the simpsons has. With that being said, the simpsons game is just simply a great game! The simpsons has had many games in the past, to entertain it's fanbase. Only one game has been worthy to hold the titile of the simpsons game, and that is this one! The DS version of this game portrays not only the TV show itself, but the abilities of the characters as well. When you have Homer turning into a big blob, Bart turning into Bartman, Lisa using her mind powers, Marge using her persuasive tone and her Megaphone, and Maggie using her tinyness to crawl through small space, how could you go wrong?

The gameplay of the game is pretty fun to start out, but then it gets a bit repetitive. The gameplay is basically the same on each level. You use the special abilities of that character to get through a level filled with traps and bad guys. Sounds pretty vague huh? Well it is, to a certain extent. But what the developers did is made every level unique in its own way, to keep the play interested.

Overall the Simpsons game on DS is the best out of all of them. I have played the PS3, 360 AND Wii Versions, and I really think they do not compare to the DS version. The DS version just combines beutiful 2D graphics with a 3D engine, to make for a smooth looking game.

OVERALL RATINGS:

PRESENTATION OF GAME: A
GRAPHICS OF GAME: A
SOUND OF GAME: B
GAMEPLAY OF GAME: B-
LASTING APPEAL OF GAME: A-

OVERALL SCORE = A-. 5/5 STARS.

This is a very good game. It's lots of fun to play as all the different Simpsons characters. Lots of fun to play, a very good platformer. I would recommend this game to anyone who likes to play the Super Mario-type games and I would highly recommend to Simpsons fans.
