    The Simpsons Arcade Game has a story that makes no sense, shallow gameplay, very little comedy and nonsensical boss battles. For ten dollars you're getting a brief experience that you'll likely never want to revisit. On the other hand, it's nice to see this game get a proper home console release after more than two decades!

    It's a good thing this beat'em all can rely on a prestigious franchise, rather than its true gameplay qualities (multiplayer excluded). Because there is far better elsewhere for this price.

Konami did a fantastic job bringing this to a whole new generation while at the same time it should please the one's that truly remember the game in an arcade setting.… Full Review »

This game is for Simpsons fans and arcade fans of the genre that Konami was king of back in the day. Its easy to play, its funny, and its an absolute blast to play it with 4 people. I pumped so many quarters in this game back in the day, $10 to play the game while sitting on my couch is a steal. And when you beat the game, just start a new one! It takes 5-7 hours to beat MW2, MW3 or Black Ops but no one complains about that because its CoD. And that game is $60 reskinnned every year!!… Full Review »
