Me and my buddy are HUGE Simpsons Fans, but we were very dissapointed in this game. We drove all over town looking for a copy and when we played it at home we were more bored than excited. It’s not so much as it being hard, but just irritating to accomplish the brain-dead tasks needed. While playing the Single Player mode your constantly having to switch characters to unlock hidden doors and fight enemies which is more annoying than fun. In CO-OP mode you are more accessible to getting separated in each map due to not having a radar available. The special powers that each character possess donot make any sense, for example bart doesn’t fly, but fall slower than usual and we couldn’t figure out how to kill any enemies as Big Homer. The Bonus games are difficult and confusing, while the Bosses are EXTREMELY easy to defeat and all of the tasks needed are just plain retarded. If you want to know should I buy this game “Yes/No” then donot buy this game, but if you’re still curious I recommend that you rent this games before you buy it.
I was excited because it was a new Simpsons game. They went through all this trouble to animate cut scenes and to get the actors voices. But the graphics of gameplay and in general the challenge and fun of gameplay are lacking. Wished so much more for this.
This may work on a more traditional platform with more traditional controls, but after more than an hour of trying to time a SINGLE MOVE exactly right, I gave up – and I was only on the second stage. The Wii is known as a platform for more casual gamers who want a different level of physical interactivity, not hardcore gamers who want to spend hours figuring out the right timing and combination of joystick/button presses.
Aside from the fact that this is simply not the platform for this game, the game itself has the most annoying camera movement and controls I’ve ever seen. I’m also a huge Simpsons fan, but by the time I quit, I absolutely wanted to strangle my formerly beloved voiceover actors. Get stuck on a move like I was, and you’ll be treated to an endless loop of the same spectacularly unfunny lines. Though I enjoy watching The Simpsons two or three times a day as it’s aired, I don’t know if I can watch the show for a day or two now – that’s how obnoxious it becomes.
The Lego Star Wars games provide similar gameplay, but are far more intuitive, less irritating, and more overall fun.
Since this Simpsons fan of almost two decades found it a tedious and annoying experience, I’d say it’s another unfortunate nail in the coffin of The Simpsons franchise, along with the steady decline in the writing of the series. What it really boils down to is that this game lacks any real fun for us old-school fans, who don’t live chained to a game console.
If you like the show, watch it or the recent movie. If you like this kind of game, Lego Star Wars is far, far superior in every way.
Thank god I only rented this one, I almost bought it blind.
At the risk of being labeled an angst ridden teen by an over sensitive fan boy, I must concede that I’m almost 30. I have been a Simpsons fan since day one and was overly excited to have the Simpsons come to the Wii platform. As a fan of the Simpsons I was enticed by the idea of 37 clips of new Simpsons animation, it wasn’t worth it. I was also enticed by the fact that the actual actors of the show provided the voices, again, it wasn’t worth my 50 bucks.
Not to ruin the game for anyone that will be so inclined to buy or rent this game, but play the game on mute if you wish to play it. The amount of times that the stupid catch phrases are repeated through out the game are annoying enough to cause you to want to put your Wii-mote through your TV. That brings up another topic, the controls and the camera views are so horrible that you will die repeatedly just trying to do simple things like jumping and walking.
In all the time I have been a fan of the Simpsons I have never come across a Simpsons product that has disapointed, until now. This game sucks. For EA to put out such a crappy product is sad. For Matt Groening to allow his brain child to be subjected to such a humiliating treatment is proof that he isn’t paying attention to his creation anymore.
THIS GAME IS PITIFUL. DON’T BUY IT, DON’T SUPPORT CRAPPY PRODUCTS.
As an avid gamer I’m always hesitant about licensed games but the Simpsons fan in me overrode my common sense, and thank god it did. While the game falls under fairly traditional platform game fair the puzzles are actually really well thought out. Using the two characters available to you per level you will be tasked with harnessing each member of the Simpsons family skills to advance. Something I found to be a lot of fun on my own but quickly became extra awesome with a friend. The comedy is spot on and all of the voice actors loan their talents to make the game feel like an episode of the TV show. The only major gripe I have is the typical platform game camera that rarely points in the right direction without your hands on control. Definitely worth the d’oh!
