a decent game adaption of the time unfortunately this is very much past the prime time of the Simpsons so most of it is just reference humor which is fine i did enjoy the animated cutscenes over 3d animation most other Simpsons games have also the gameplay is ok lil action platformer that could there a decent variety of abilities but like any adaptation of the time it needs to be balanced out with horrible combat just truly unsatisfying also the game really feels like it was meant to be played in coop and the ai buddy is way to dumb and it will just keep dying all the time so if your going to play this do yourself a favour and find someone to play it with
It's a fun game with great humor and, surprisingly, an incredible soundtrack. I love how most of the game's cinematics are 2D animations, similar to a TV series.
The gameplay is very simple and functions well; it doesn't become repetitive, especially given the short duration of the game. However, the camera can be quite horrible on many occasions.
Now, the game has some very good ideas but... it doesn't do much with them. The concept of "Being inside a video game" and parodying it had the potential for something much more ambitious, and what ended up is a game that feels like it lacked some time.
For instance, the "open world" of Springfield in the game (only in the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions) is a great addition, but you don't do absolutely anything. You only collect collectibles and nothing more. A whole map wasted.
The game lasts for 5 hours, 10 if you want to complete it 100%, which I don't recommend because THERE IS NO REWARD. So... the game falls very short (especially in the PS2, PSP, and Wii versions as they cut some levels). They could have added more parody levels or worked more on the city of Springfield.
