    Very colorful and detailed levels plus very interesting cut scenes between levels.

    A solid gaming experience. Platformers may be an overdone genre of games, but The Simpsons Game does a decent job of providing a good game, while not necessarily an innovative one.

    A classic example of style over substance.

    Follows the template of the console versions to produce a competent 2D platformer. [Feb 2008, p.78]

    We loved the game's self referential tone at times, but calling itself out on its own tired shortcomings can't really save the gameplay.

    If you're looking for a quality platformer on the DS, there are plenty of better choices out there. If you're looking for a funny game, however, The Simpsons Game ranks near the top of the list.

    It's relatively entertaining but more as a result of its set-pieces, one-liners and occasional clever detail than its gameplay, which is uninspired.

    If you want a laugh, the show's a much better bet, and if you want to play a decent platformer you might as well dust off NEW Super Mario Bros.

    An underrated DS game for sure. Has great and different levels and is ultimately a fun platformer with some fun and simple puzzles. MyAn underrated DS game for sure. Has great and different levels and is ultimately a fun platformer with some fun and simple puzzles. My favourite levels is the mystical level when they fight dragon patty and Selma but most the levels are great fun. Also making homer eat stuff on the couch was also quite fun as well. Not much too this game but worth a play if you own a DS.… Full Review »

    There's nothing much I can say about this game. It's subtly fun, but overall it's your standard mediocre licensed game.

    It's fine.
