    A pretty standard social game, with two big differences: it's incredibly polished, and it knows its audience inside-out. It's a must-play for fans of the show, past and present. Its charm and style will embiggen your heart and soul.

    It may not have the depth of Sim City or the dedicated following of FarmVille but Tapped Out is still a thoroughly entertaining and addictive experience; arguably the best videogame based on The Simpsons yet.

    The Simpsons: Tapped Out does nothing new when it comes to freemium gaming, but the opportunity to create one's personal Springfield, along with trademark Simpsons humor, makes it hard to resist. It's less "doh", and more "woo hoo."

    It's Cityville with the Simpsons, simple as that. Fans of the TV series should definitely try this out.

    If it weren't for unlocking more things and seeing what the different characters have to say, it can get a little boring and uninteresting.

    The Simpsons has everything you need for an excellent free-to-play game, including universal appeal, a wealth of material, and excellent little sound bytes like "D'oh" and Krusty's iconic laugh. It's just a shame that Electronics Arts has to choke the life out of that wonder with their oppressive Origin service.

    Puzzlingly, it seems there are more than enough people whose standards for entertainment are low enough that companies can make a lot of money with products like The Simpsons: Tapped Out. The problem is, that this takes away resources for the development of 'real games'. Economically, it might be a sound strategy, but it's also one that could conceivably prompt me to quit this job some day.

What makes the Tapped Out truly amazing is it's hilarious script, including 4 cut-scenes that will make you laugh time after time again. But what makes this just over the top is that, you know everybody. You're familiar with the Simpson's family and the Kwik-E-Mart. It makes the whole game enjoyable. A must get whether you're a Simpson's fan or not.… Expand

    An annoyingly addictive game that will keep you occupied and entertained. The internet only aspect is an annoyance and the fact that the gameAn annoyingly addictive game that will keep you occupied and entertained. The internet only aspect is an annoyance and the fact that the game is mainly only you clicking on something and waiting hours for something you can't really control or even witness sometimes to be completed. Also, the rate at which you make money is not fast enough and the premium items is just evil in making you pay money for buildings you want.
