 Interesting but badly made and infuriating June 27, 2008
J. Bell (Hertfordshire, UK)
Its a pretty simplistic game really, and its not that the tasks and levels are difficult on their own, but the game has a lot of flaws. The graphics is typically simpson-y and it actually looks quite poor, the 3D doesnt do the style any justice at all. Secondly, the camera, it was unbelievably bad, it barely follows you like it should and you have to spend a lot of time faffing about trying to jiggle the camera to the angle you need to see where you're going. This ruined the gameplay because after all, how can you play when you cant see what youre doing 90% of the time? The bad camera contributes to making the game very difficult to navigate, and along with the difficult controls you have lost all optimism within 5 minutes of gameplay. You will spend half if not more of youre time trying to complete the simplest of tasks hindered by various flaws.
On a single higher note, there are a quite a lot of funny quotes, sayings, etc in the game, which are, thankfully, done by all the original voice actors. Perhaps this is where they spent all of their funding for the game??? If you're very very patient and are a big fan of simpsons humour you might be able to play this one out. But to all others i definately dont recommend spending good money on this game.
 Wii Disaster May 5, 2008

While the Nintendo DS version of the Simpsons Game - in 2D - is fun and challenging, the wii 3D version is unplayable. As other reviewers have said, the 3D graphics are rendered so badly you have no idea where your character is in the scenario and where to jump from etc to continue. After 30 attempts to make what should be a straightforward jump, you, like us, will be screaming at the screen. It is so frustrating you just have to move onto another game. Save your money. There are far better games available for the wii.
Tear inducingly disappointing! January 15, 2008

I honestly want to cry with sadness at how utterly poor this game is!! After half an hour, the hardest tutorial, the most ridiculous controls and the most pitiful game idea it was back to the shop! Honestly i was SO excited about a Simpsons Wii game, but it offered nothing unique for the wii, you used the wii-mote only as a controller, no spins, smashes or clever moves that you woudl be used to with the wii. It was hard to understand and rubbish! I wonder if I had given it longer it would have got better, but then I compare it to Mario Galaxy (BEST EVER!) which was instantly fab and assume no, if I don't like it now i never will! (funnily though my sister and her boyf have it on the PS3 and love it!). Don't wast your money! Shame on you Simpson brand for selling out! GET MARIO GALAXY INSTEAD!
Hateful game. January 10, 2008

The controls on this game are dreadful. After spending 30 minutes trying to get bard to "glide" I gave up and this game is off to Ebay for next to nothing.
Possibly the worst game I have played in over 25 years.
Do yourself a favour and DON'T buy it.
 The Simpson's take their biggest adventure yet where there set out to make you laugh and have fun January 1, 2008

The Simpson's their popular worldwide its one of my favorite shows but the games just have never been that great only The Simpsons Arcade Game from Konami back in 1991 was it's major classic game.
The Simpson's Game hit all major platforms and i bought the Wii version and firstly it does have a few bad controls the jumping parts can be bad. You will die on quite a few stages due to bad camera angles but that is something you will have to deal with. As for the Wii controls they have been put together actually pretty good and for me they worked just fine.
This game has brilliant comedy in it which adds value to the game most stuff homer comes out with is really just going to make you laugh i couldn't stop. I love the cut scene's in the game because it just looks like your watching the tv show and makes it very entertaining.
The game is based on making jokes of over games such like Neverquest which is Zelda. There's even Medal of Homer which is really Medal of Honour. I have noticed that rip offs of Donkey Kong which steals professor frink and you have to save him. A weird looking Mario and Sonic also itchy and scratchy in a rip off version of Grand Theft Auto in this you play as Marge and Lisa and take out the city making it a nice place along with you is some dogs who team up with you.
Your going to be doing team work in every level while every Simpsons Character have there own ability and some levels can be hard to figure it out or even reach the destination. Homer turns into Gummy , a bowling ball, while Bart turns to Bartman, Lisa has the hand of Buddha, Marge has her speaker phone helping to guide a mob with her, Maggie tags a long with Marge but you do play as Maggie to help flick buttons that Marge can not get to.
This has exclusive games to the Wii as well called Wii moments in this you get 2 games. The games are bite night you play as homer in a boxing ring and you have to get all food that homer likes to gain points eat healthy foods you lose points. Then there is Bart Wings which the controls just do not respond at all annoying i know.
I only had the game 3 days since it was first released which i done 16 levels pretty quickly
The best level in the game is the last been in heaven and challenging god in a copied version of Dance Stage Fever or whatever it is called. You will also see Bender from Futurama who you will have to take out along with Simpsons creator Matt Groening myself i was shocked to see it but it was fun.
You will either love this game or hate it but i like it and it was way better then Simpsons hit and run. The comedy in this game will keep you entertained and for Family Guy fans the Simpsons beats Family Guy anyday.
