Review: The Simpsons Game

IGN called this game the funniest Simpson's episode in years. And they are right mainly because I didnt relize that the simpsons was still airing new episodes This game is another part of the mass whoring of the franchise, with the movie and the McFarlane toys and the Simpsons donut making machine. Ralph Wiggum is in it which is a plus because he is the greatest Simpson's character evar! The homer ball is a lot of fun to use, because making fun of fat people is fun. Thats about it for the good stuff.

And now for the bad part, the games camera is the worst I've seen in years. Kind of hypocritcal considering the games penchant for poking fun of video game cliches. For some reason it nearly impossible to aim at anything using their horrible targeting system, used mainly for Bart's slingshot. When your not fighting with the stupid camera or shooting rocks at the wall because YOU CANT SHOOT BECAUSE THE FUCKING CAMERA AND THE JUMPING AND THE RYU"S KEEP HITTING ME! IM NOT MAD IM NOT mad. Im calm.... Im calm. Well the gameplay is sub-par at best. All it really boils down to is that you run around collecting things that you think will power you up which sorta leaves me feeling cold and empty inside, which is to say that it's not very rewarding. Like I dont have anything better to do than send a baby into a pipe to fetch me #6 of 75 25 cent coupons, I mean seriously. Also the game is super easy, you cant really die, and Im pretty sure a retarded crackheaded lemur could do the puzzles. The games wit however helps you forget the downsides for a bit, until that fucking RYU shoots you 2 million times. The writing staff saved this one from being totally horrible.

Really, unless your a Simpsons fan don't bother. The damn A holes at EA tricked me into thinking that this would be a good Simpson's game, but it just isnt.


2 I didn't realize how much I hated this game until I wrote the reviews out of 5




Yes even this Lemur can solve the puzzles in The Simpson's Game
