Review: The Simpsons Game - Nintendo DS

The Simpsons game at times is fun and at others you just want to swear up a storm at it! The game play is very smooth and very few flaws or glitches are found within gameplay. The Simpsons clips are fun to watch but being on the DS the animation is not the best being a little blocky and slow. Within the game you get a chance to be all the Simpsons... Bart, Homer, Lisa and Marge. The game starts of with Homer dreaming in Chocolate Land. Out of all the Characters the best and strongest is Bart this is because of the many things Bart can do compared to all the other characters. The weakest character is Marge who only powers is the ability to form mobs by shouting through a Megaphone and using Maggie to crawl into small spaces to unlock doors and gates. Prepared to use the stylus stick to play the game as Lisa's special power known as the Buddha Hand is used through out the game making you use the touch screen to move object and lift Lisa to higher places in the game.

The game is filled with stages that are both easy and hard. The toughest stage I found was using homer to out run the Giant Donut Lad... I played this stage over and over trying to learn how to get through to the other end. Another fun thing within the game was that during a certain stage you had to battle it out with certain characters from Futurama including Bender. The sayings and quotes of both the Simpsons and other characters of Springfield can both be funny and annoying. Overall this game was very fun when I was not swearing at the DS. Below is my stats and final score of the game.

Total Play Time Tell Finished: 6 Hours, 46 minutes and 31 seconds. With 97% complete.

Replay Value: Fairly high since after you finsh the game you can play all levels, watch all movie clips, play with Pet Homer and play all the mini arcade games.

Overall Score: 4.25 out of 5

Final Thoughts: I recommend this game to anybody including Simpson's fan. I really don't recommend this game to really young or non hardcore gamers for reason that the game can get really Difficult. Fun game, great colors and great replay value makes this a great game to own on the DS.
