The Simpsons Game

Rating: T

Score:   6.5/10

 

             Bart Simpson finds The Simpsons Game manual and learns he, Lisa, Marge and Homer possess secret powers, which the family decides are needed to help fight off aliens attacking Springfield!  This game can be found on Nintendo Wii, Playstation 2, Playstation 3, Xbox 360, Nintendo DS and PSP.

             The Simpsons games have been know to be horrible, but this game is different.  This game has all the basics of a good game and more, but not much more.  You must complete various missions to beat the game.  These missions are short and linear but always funny!  This game has parodies of Mario, Grand Theft Auto, Lord of the Rings, Medal of Honor, and even Japanese culture and anime.

             Though this game excels in creativity, it still has some common, but annoying problems like awful partner A.I., bad collision detection, and touchy camera angles.  On a more positive not, the game cutscenes are great, because they’re humorous and so realistic, you would think you’re watching the show!  Having said that, this game’s normal graphics are an eyesore.

             If you’re looking for a game with creativity, look no further!  Is playing video games with God creative enough?  How about the creator of The Simpsons, serving as a boss in the game?  But if you’re looking for a solid, challenging video game, you’ll need to look further.  All the creativity in the world won’t net you a perfect game, but this game is good enough to check out!
