    This game is an enormous cliche. Cliche enemies, cliche puzzles, cliche plot, cliche everything. And while the idea of making the graphics 2D-into-3D was original, the result is scribbly, thick-lined doodles that would make an amateur artist weep.

    It's hard to put my finger on, but the gameplay in this title just doesn't flow. The way you progress through the missions, the puzzles, the collision detection, the fighting, the camera...nothing feels quite right. On the plus side, the game has absolutely incredible production values, which may be enough to satisfy the hardcore fans of the show.

    It's pretty fun in co-op and i find the graphics are excellent. The 40 minutes of simpsons footage is a bonus. The framerate can take a hit at times, but the game is fun enough to shrug right through it. Creative levels and stuff, but I never felt compelled to finish the game

    The Simpsons Game has to be reviewed by me, because I already reviewed Hit & Run. TSG is a fun game, the jokes are funny all the game rooms that parodie other games (GTA, MOH, LOZ) but the big problem with this game is that first of all it's really short and too easy, it toke me only two days to complete. The story did need to be harder and longer. But overall TSG is fun to play and I sayThe Simpsons Game has to be reviewed by me, because I already reviewed Hit & Run.

    So weird. Not too much like the show, although there are plenty of referances to it, the challenge factor changes from pathetically easy to unbelievably hard in a matter of seconds and there's no "in-between". It rates a Meh/AWESOOOOMEEE!!!.

    The Simpsons Game is a decent movie tie-in action-platformer

    The gameplay is decent,with relatively solid platforming,although fighting sections suck.The game has great humour just like the show it's based on.The levels design is good,and there is a lot of variety.The game is far too easy up until THAT BATTLE WITH GOD WHICH IS INFURIATINGLY DIFFICULT!!!!!!!

    Now if only the game can be as intelligent as the movie it's based on and the series it's also based on. Alright for Simpsons fans but not worth being played again, but worth keeping.

    Voy a acabar rapido. Graficos muy desenfadados, como de comic, es bastante divertido, tiene mucha variedad y unas referencias a videojuegos que no veas, detalles que se agradecen.

    Untimately, though, The Simpsons lives and dies on the strength of its gameplay and here it doesn't particularly shine. [Nov 2007, p.64]

    Hysterical as Simpsons is, it's hard to appreciate the humor when you're busy fighting with an annoying camera and unreliable controls. [Dec 2007, p.108]

    While the action can be uneven -- though never bad -- creativity and charm carry the game to a higher level. The humor will get you through the slow levels, the authentic voices and writing will satisfy your fanatcism, and the cameos... will keep you entertained.
