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.
