The Simpsons Game (DS)

***Why I bought it**** This was the first game I got when I purchased my DS and I admit it, I bought it because of the TV series and the fact that I used to enjoy playing the Simpsons in the arcade years ago. If my memory serves me correctly the arcade version involved some criminals of Springfield kidnapping Maggie and the task was to go and rescue her, beating up baddies as you went. The player could select Bart (with Skateboard as a weapon), Lisa (with a skipping rope as a weapon), Marge (with a hoover as a weapon) or Homer and they would only control this character. Whilst a bit 'old skool' I was hoping that the new Simpsons game ...  Read the complete review

OVERVIEW: In this game, you take control of four of the five Simpsons. Each Simpson has a superpower(s) and you need to take all the bad guys trying to attack you. In the game, Bart finds an instruction book that falls out of the sky. He tells Homer, and together they go to beat up the baddies! Later in the game you get to become Marge and Lisa. Maggie, however, is one of Marge's 'superpowers'. Bart becomes Bartman, Homer can take in helium and float, Marge can ' make-a-mob' and Lisa can use the Hand of Budha to move objects. These are just a few of the powers each character has. GRAPHICS: The graphics are extremely good for a DS game. ...  Read the complete review

Love watching the Simpsons, so when i saw this game in the shop it certainly caught my eye! The image on the front, shows homer running away from a host of characters including the mayer and a chocolate rabbit, so i though hmm this going to be random fun! I was greatly dissapointed im afraid, this is a big let down from the Simpsons and im surprised they'd let such a poor game out on sale! In the game you play different main characters, so far ive played Homer, Lisa and Bart. You work your way though the level, collecting 'donuts' for extra points. The levels do vary, one you may be chased by something another you solve mini-puzzles in order to move ...  Read the complete review

I bought this game for full price and was quite dissapointed with it! The game is quite simple and the levels are very silimar, making them quite repetetive. Each level you play a character out of the TV show and basicallt get them from point A to B. The levels are very easy and the whole game can be completed really quickly, and is not a game you can play over and over again. The levels are set around different parts of 'Springfield' although the graphics are very basic and chunky! The main menu graphics are quite good the rest rest are a let down for the game. Every so often within the game, you are shown clips from the TV show, which can be amusing but also ...  Read the complete review

The Simpsons Game I started playing this game yesterday when I was off work sick. It was quite fun, pretty easy, and very fast to finish. I was playing it for about an hour, and I am nearly at the end of completing it. It is basically a platform game, but with some of the comedy from the TV show added in. The characters that I have played with so far are Bart, Homer and Lisa. Bart turns into the Bartman and can kind of fly with his cape, well more glide. Lisa can use her mind to move objects and Homer can turn into a fat ball and roll around squashing people. It seems that the storyline in the game is to progress through the different ...  Read the complete review
