Genuine Simpsons humor
Not so this time, as the Simpsons spirit truly has entered this game and you do get a true dose of the humor the series is so famous for. And this is also the main reason why you would want to play the game - for the laughs.
The graphics is quite interesting too, with its cartoon shading the look and feel of the series is well preserved, and the true Simpson fans might get a kick out of exploring all the famous locations in the series.
The main idea of the game is to solve various puzzles by switching between a pair of characters. Each Simpson character has unique abilities, and can be used for different purposes. They need to cooperate to succeed. So while Homer can turn into a Homer ball and break obstacles in the way, Bart can turn into Bartman and glide long distances in the air or be lifted up by hot airflow. Often these tasks needs to be synchronized.
The game also has many action sequences. Like fighting scenes or mini-games like the giant Frogger game starring Simpsons characters trying to cross a river.
It's all very simple gameplay, and in fact often a bit shallow and linear, but you are constantly motivated to go through every mini-game to get your reward in the form of a funny cutscene spot on to the series.
Apart from some annoying camera problems, where the camera sometimes chose some really poor angles for you, the game flows well and is easily playable also for the casual gamer.
