 i think its good August 31, 2008

This was the first xbox 360 game i bought and thought it was really good! I was a bit worried about buying it at first because i was worried it would be just another mildly amusing, game that would take about 2 hours to complete. As it turned out it was completley the opposite! It's original, fun to play and will keep you entertained for hours on end. I would recommend it for a first-time game to anybody with an xbox 360, wii etc.
My only trouble with it is that it is sometimes a bit to difficult to figure out how to do things, like find collectables or get to a certain lever. I think the age rating is partly that anybody younger might (and i say might!) have trouble working out what to do.

there were alot of bugs in the game. Whilst im a fan of the simpsons this game is clearly nothing more than a rental. Its short and i really dont see the point of the city, there arent any cars, and its mostly empty, they simply included it to prolong the replay value. You can finish it in a weekend :)

This is just rediculuos that on X-BOX 360 the graphics are better there are better levels on it you can xplore Springfield on it. Whilst I bought it on ps2 and I thought I was playing a game from 1995! The ps2 version is so awful that I have thrown it away! On ps2 just looking at it makes you sick! IT'S SO BLUGHRY! Trust me get it on X-BOX or ps3 and you will like it DONT get it on enything else!

Well, after many a dodgy tie-in game, finally a game based upon the Simpsons IP that isn't a complete failure. It's not ground breaking either, but a middling, fun game.
If you're a Simpsons fan, then the humour is spot on and the cutscenes superb to watch - as you would expect given that the Simpsons writers themselves were involved in the game.
The bane of all platform games (camera angles) makes an occasional appearance, but doesn't ruin the game completely. It's not as good as say, Lego Star Wars II, but much better than many platformers.
In my opinion, there's too much emphasis placed upon collecting things - Duff bottle caps, Marge's saving coupons, Malibu Stacey's, Krusty stuff - it's like the developers needed to pad the game out - and they did, because you will complete the story line fairly quickly.
The video game cliches are reasonably funny and at least take a different tact on the collectibles approach, but again, they are just padding.
So, aside from a collectible overdose, you might be thinking I like this game. As a Simpsons fan, you're right. I loved the main story, enjoyed it and thought it was a reasonable game. However, there's a problem with the Simpsons on the 360 which others have also found and been left annoyed by - the autosave mechanism.
As you progress, the game autosaves. It does so when you get a collectible, cliche or complete a chunk of the story. However, the autosave is buggy and is known to corrupt the save file. Theory seems to be that it sometimes takes much longer to save than the game indicates, so after the autosave logo disappears, you exit the game and hey presto - your save is corrupted. This is shocking and something EA should have picked up in QA.
Unfortunately I fell foul to this bug after completing the main storyline and was about to embark on getting the missing collectibles - what a kick in the teeth!

a lot of people with misguided views have said that the simpsons game is boring and frustrating, i asure you they are wrong. with entertaining levels and the comic guy's cliches such as 'ah the crate as seen in everything'
you can play as, marge, homer, lisa and bart all of which have their own unique powers such as lisa's hand of buddah or homer's ability to turn into an imorphos blob. all in all a brilliant game buy it, buy it, BUY IT!!!
