For a game based on a show that was slowly losing its touch with me, It was amazing. From its many abilities given to each Simpson, its meta story of being inside of a video game, and the fact you go and fight not only the creator of the show, but God himself in a dance dance revolution final battle. I've played this on both the Wii and Xbox and have noticed some differences with each. Each version had some levels that were either extended in one or shortened in the other.
I wish they make this game backwards compatible or at least remaster it. I would love to play this game again on a next gen console.

Shelved solely due to the fact that I was sold a shitty disk without knowing, and the game is technically unreadable after the 3rd level.
Anyway, just based on first impressions, The Simpsons Game isn't too bad, but it's not particularly thrilling, either. I could easily see myself loving the game's rather simple 3D platforming/brawler elements if it wasn't for the fact that the writing is pure garbage (a byproduct of this game releasing far after The Simpsons' prime). I played the DS game a lot as a kid, and the story is largely the same thing, just with a 2D platformer style instead.
I'm definitely going to finish this game at some point; I just need to either have my disc surfaced or find another copy (preferably the former to the latter considering this game isn't necessarily cheap by Xbox 360 standards).
