Product Description
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.
Features:
- The Real Simpsons: You wouldn’t want to hear Comic Book Guy voiced over by an actual comic-book shop guy, would you? Neither would we! That’s why we got the actual voice actors from the TV show and movie to reprise their roles, so the characters in The Simpsons Game sound exactly as they should.
- Play Your Favorite Characters: play as all members of your favorite dysfunctional TV family as you battle to save them from video-game purgatory.
- It’s the Real Deal: Just like you want the game to sound like the show, you also want it to look like the show. And thanks to some really smart guys using innovative 3D into 2D technology, it does! Add in a huge cast of Simpsons folks and an amazing level of interactivity and you’ve got a Simpsons experience like no other.
- Haw-haw!: When The Simpsons aims its trademark wit at the video-game industry, nothing’s sacred! Pop culture and current-event parodies join the mix to deliver classic The Simpsons humor and then some!
- They’re Simpsons and Then Some: The Simpsons family have been given special video-game powers! From Lisa’s Saxophone Spin to Homer’s Power Burp, these special abilities give the Simpsons a fighting chance against the video-game baddies.

Fun:
I've been keeping an eye on the development of this game and I was really looking forward to its release. Now that I've had the chance to sit down and play it, I'm afraid it wasn't anything like I thought it would be.
Before I go into any negatives, I will say that the script/spoken dialog in the game is hilarious and features the original cast voices. The character animation is also done nicely. Unfortunately, that is where the positive comments end. The play control is a disaster. It was difficult to control the various special moves for each character and camera tracking was horrible. You can manually reposition the view point being shown, however I found myself constantly needing to do so in order to make my way through the levels. Overall, it just felt like I wasn't in control of the character and often times it was very frustrating trying to jump from platform to platform only to fall down and have to start a tedious process of getting back to where I was at all over again. The constant need to switch between characters became annoying as well. I really, really wanted to love this game, but I am so disappointed. I'm also really upset that I actually paid full price for this title as well. If this was $19.99 I wouldn't feel so burned right now.

Fun:
I am a relatively new gamer, but a HUGE Simpson's fan and so was very excited about this game. I tried it out, and while it is way cool that they got the real voice actors to do the voices for the characters and the in between videos, and the graphics are also really cool (the characters look almost exactly like they do in the show); I was very disappointed. The main problem is that the game play is extremely difficult. To be clear, it isn't that the game itself is hard, but rather that the camera angle makes it really hard and extremely frustrating to play the game: it seems to always be in the wrong place. Another flaw (from a Wii perspective) is there is very little use of the Wii remotes capabilities. The later is forgivable given that it is a multi-platform game, but the previous is not forgivable (especially from someone like EA), if they had the camera placed correctly the game would be far less frustrating and much more enjoyable.
In short I am glad I was able to try the game out and not have to buy it. It might be worth it to me (for the Simpson's value alone) if the game was $20 dollars or so.

Fun:
I think the developers just took on way too much to create a game that really works well. There are some parts that are very fun, but in general this game is way too frustrating. The camera has serious problems and creates situations in which you can't see what you need to do. Just when you think the game is over, it continues on with some bigger than mini-games which could have been games all on their own. Maybe if the developers didn't try to do so much, they could have worked out some of the kinks and made this a really great game. It certainly has the potential.
