Simpsons Game Review

‘The Simpsons Game‘ is the latest Simpsons game! It perhaps isn’t the most originally titled game, but I suppose it doesn’t really matter, perhaps it’s implying it’s the definitive Simpsons game? It also isn’t based on the recent Simpsons Movie and instead is a more general free roaming game set in Springfield across different levels and themes which will be very familiar to fans of the Simpsons TV show.

I downloaded the demo of ‘The Simpsons Game’ off Xbox Live last week and was pleasantly surprised as to how good it looked - the style of the cell-shaded 3D graphics are that of the TV show and work very well, but more importantly it was fun to play!

The last Simpsons game I played was ‘The Simpsons: Hit and Run’, it was fun to start with, but I ended up giving up on it - seem to remember I got to a very annoying part and try as I might couldn’t get past it. Hopefully the new Simpsons Game holds my attention better, the different themes and parodies that are present (Eg. GTA style and also a fantasy level) should mean it’s fun to play and there’s plenty of jokes in a style you expect from the Simpsons!

You can now read The Simpsons Game Gamespy review, IGN review and also watch the ‘Simpsons Game: Neverquest’ trailer below, I still think it looks cool and is definitely worth buying, especially if you see it at a bargain price! What do you think of the demo/full game? Do you think it’s worth buying?
