Some repetitive actions and some levels are harder than others. First of all, if you buy this game and don't love watching The Simpsons show, then go find another game right now. Some of the puzzles can be a bit challenging. I say that because the way the game plays is not drastically different than other games where you play different levels as different characters. What makes this game fun is how basically all of the characters in Springfield are depicted and used throughout the game. Overall a good game and one that you won't pass easily in one day. Enjoy.
had fun playing, not usually a video game player but this was actually a game i could keep up with and look like i knew what i was doing.
Graphics:Starting with the strengths, the cutscenes look like they were pulled directly from an episode. So while the story at times is blah or even nonsensical, you'll be laughing most of the time to care too much bout its shortcomings.Gameplay:So depending on how big a fan you are of the Simpsons and GTA style games (where aside from missions you explore the city on your own) you may really like the gameplay or find it so so. A very late review, but I assume you're reading this because now the price is so low that even if its a bad game you're willing to try it. Over all though, the game looks sharp.Audio:All the voice talent for the show is used here and the result makes it sound great. Each member has different powers, Homer and Bart have projectile/bashing/glide abilities, Lisa can stun/control/move large objects and Marge can control mobs to do her bidding. Character models look great, colors are vibrant, and you basically believe that you are inhabiting the Simpsons universe. The self-deprecating humor is greatly appreciated from a long-time videogamer and the barrage of jokes make the game feel like an actual episode.
Maybe that's because you have to work w/ the right Simpsons members to reach items (more on that later) or because its the Simpsons and I am obsessed. Well rest assured this is far from a bad game, given the gameplay, visuals, audio, and story. I am not a big fan of trying to collect everything and exploring but to some degree it is more fun than in other games. Where the graphics fail sometimes is during the gameplay, as some of the character models look way off, coupled with jaggy lines. Music is fun but forgettable, but its the voices that you will remember and laugh at.Story:Story is blah, save the universe affair. The missions themselves are usually bash everything you see, which can play out a little differently depending on which family member you use. Levels don't do the best job of utilizing the teamwork concept but its fun enough.Recap:It's fun, and really cheap, if you're a Simpsons fan, get it.
But that said, it's a Simpsons game, and if you're a fan of the show you'll enjoy it. It's an average 3D platform action-adventure game. It has some terrible camera problems. The script is good, with some genuinely funny moments. There are some fun parodies of other video games.
This game is a blast for any Simpsons fan, but the graphics should have been taken up a notch for the PS3. The graphics are no better than PS2 or an old Xbox.
