It is an amazing Simpsons Episode with a phenomenal script, excellent voicework and decent gameplay to get you through it all. I'm done and it was fun while it lasted.just not $60 of fun.Īs a game, the Simpson's Game isn't very good. (though the Video game cliche's are pretty funnY). I don't care about collecting Homer's bottle caps, Bart's posters, etc. Now that I've seen the story, the gameplay, collectibles, achievements, etc. If you really care about collecting things.there's PLENTY of that.Ĭons: I beat the main game in about 3 days and 8 hours (Great rental - terrible buy). Pros: You'll absolutely want to play through the story and enjoy the script/writing and humor. The story is great and the quips during gameplay to the actual script itself is fantastic and hysterical. Pros: The Voicework and effort of the actual cast in this game pays off.
#THE SIMPSONS GAME PS3 BUY PS3#
The game captures Springfield and the look of the show better than any other Simpsons game before it.Ĭons: The cartoon / cel-shaded look definitely doesn't push the PS3 or Xbox360 or is all that impressive up to other next gen games.
#THE SIMPSONS GAME PS3 BUY TV#
Pros: Playing this game is like playing the TV show. Pros: Each family member has a different skill set, the levels offer a great variety and reference many classic episodes.Ĭons: Gameplay is a heavy copycat of 3rd person platformers and even includes a troublesome camera and resulting frustration. Basically, it's a really long episode of the Simpsons, as an episode it's spectacular.as a game, it's short. It is a licensed game that features all the voice actors (there's over 8,000 original lines for the game or something ridiculously high) and some animated segments/shorts. The Simpson's Game is yet another game starring America's beloved dysfunctional family. See Videos and Pictures to go along with this Review. Great Rental but only Hardcore Fans should buy You can always resell it and get back at least half your investment. I wouldn't pay much more than that for it, but if you like the Simpsons I think it is worth the buy. While blockbuster charges $9 to rent a game, I figured paying $10 to own it was a better option. That is fine for me, as I do not care to play a game for months on end, but that may be a downside for most people. Likes: Graphics are good most of the time, story line is funny, special moves/powers are fun, it feels like you are controlling an episode of the Simpsons.ĭislikes: Does not have the same feel as the arcade game (a remake of the arcade game with online multiplayer would be great), Action is not continuous (you have to go around the town of Springfield to find missions, rather than non-stop action), the game is pretty easy.Īdditional Commentary: Although I have not played it all the way through yet, I hear that this game can be completed in about 7 hours. I was hoping it would be like the Simpsons arcade game, which is one of the best arcade games of all time.
