The Simpsons Game is a game which mostly Simpsons fans will love. It is short but loveable.
The game play is first. In the game, you can either control Bart, Homer, Lisa, or Marge (with Maggie) to solve the episoide's puzzles. Bart becomes Bartman, Lisa uses her Budda powers to grab stuff or electracute things, or to lift herself, Marge can control people, and Homer can become a giant ball of blubber and an airless blubber-man who can float. All of that is good, it uses the double screens nicely. I would've liked to control people with the stylus, but you use the stylus with Marge and Lisas' powers. You can also collect special items unique to the player, like Duff Bottle Caps and Malibu Stacy coupons. They make some nice replay value. 9.5/10
The graphics were semi-good, which was, in my opinion, a flaw. They were mostly looking like pencil drawings on a peice of paper. But, it is made up for the movie graphics. They look much sleezier and nicer. They looked kinda like clay-mation. 7/10
The levels are well thought out. One might put you in a food-eating contest, while another will put you in a spin-off of Pokemon. But, it seems that you use mostly Bart or Homer, and you only use Marge in three levels! Also, the levels are firstly easy, but the last two levels are much harder and long. It seems that they expect you to make it, even though there are ton of obstacles, like dogs that shoot out gold coins. 8/10
The best part of the game is, like the show, its humor. Like, for instance, Will Wright makes an special appearence in the game engine, when he went mad by his failure, SimSandwich. (You actually see that game in God's library.) Also, Matt Groening makes an evil appearence. Humor is unexpected, like these examples: "Of course I can. I'm Will Wright, [word bleeped out]." "And only the smartest person in Springfield can help us." [Same quote:] "I drink blue juice from under the sink." [Ralph Wiggum.] And: "Homer, come here. I need you obesity." 9.5/10
The Simpsons Game, like I said, is mostly a Simpsons fan's game,like me.
