![]() ![]() The best part of the in-game experience is the “Video Game Cliché” moments that you find throughout the gameplay experience. Again, they’re really only worth playing for the achievements, as they don’t unlock anything in the game, which is disappointing. They are rather clichéd, like “collect all cans”, or “defeat 100 enemies”. There is a total of 30 minutes worth of time challenges, but they provide a decent amount of entertainment, even if it is only for a short time. On top of the basic story mode (which should last you around 8 hours), there are also “Time Challenges” for each mission. The only plus is that you unlock achievements in the 360 version. They unlock nothing in the actual game, and are just there for show. The only problem is, unless you are playing on the Xbox 360, there really is no reason to look for collectibles. In the games 16 missions, there are also plenty of “collectibles” hidden in the game. Fighting enemies is simply boring, as all you are doing is mindlessly mashing buttons until you’ve reached the next objective.Įvery character you can think of is here. This makes the idea of their super powers rather pointless as instead of “powers” they are foolish gimmicks the developers threw in. The problem with the other characters powers is that they only need to be used in specific situations. It is a shame that the developers clearly put so much focus on Homer, and seemed to forget about the other characters. ![]() On top of his basic burp attack, he also has two separate modes, the eternally entertaining homerball and the fascinating gummy Homer. Without a doubt, Homer is the character you will enjoy the most. Marge has a megaphone and can make mobs and get them to do her dirty work, Lisa uses the “Hand of Buddha” to clear paths, eliminate enemies and solve various puzzles, Bart becomes Bartman and uses powers to reach new heights, which leaves us with Homer. On top of these, each character has there own super power. You can use your three-button combo (yes, only one) to knockout the enemies, and your basic B-button attack. There are two or three ways for you to attack the enemy. Unfortunately, this aspect of the game isn’t that fun. This does not apply to the last mission however, where you use all four characters. In all missions you use 2 characters pre-determined by the game. You will be constantly beating up baddies, jumping, climbing and solving puzzles (some easy, some unnecessarily hard) to complete your objectives and beat the game’s 16 missions. You play as the four main characters Homer, Marge, Bart and Lisa, and a couple moments are even put aside for Maggie. The Simpsons Game plays out like an action platformer. While the story itself really isn’t all that exciting, the cut-scenes will have your sides splitting with laughter. When the Simpsons discover this, they are out to save their city of Springfield. When the characters learn how to use their powers, Kang and Kodos (the lovable aliens from the television series) send aliens unto Springfield to wreak havoc. Bart Simpson finds a manual to something called “The Simpsons Game” that fell from the sky, and it contains information on how to use super powers for each member of the family (more on these later). I found myself laughing out loud constantly at all the video game, pop culture and especially Simpson references scattered throughout the game. The Simpsons Game is easily one of the funniest games, simply, ever. So grab your controller, turn on your system, and get ready to rock! Everquest, Metal Gear Solid, Katamari Damacy, Pokemon, and so much more are all spoofed in The Simpsons Game, brought to you by EA Studios. The Simpsons are here and they’ve brought along parodies of games, and people in the industry. So grab your controller, turn on your system, and get ready to rock!" ![]()
