Strengths: Good voicework. Typical Simpsons humor. Cool cameos. Benefitted from EA polish. Short game.
Weakness: Licensed drek to cash in on movie. Some low quality cutscenes. Crappy camera and unresponsive controls. Repetitive gameplay. Really lame puzzles. No unlockables
The Simpsons game is EA’s attempt at cashing in on the movie. While this is not the worst platformer I have ever played, it is pretty bad. When the camera and controls are fighting you throughout the entire game, gameplay becomes an exercise in futility. It would have been nice if they playtested this before releasing it considering it had some potential to be average platformer. With games like Psychonauts, Ratchet and Jax, there really is no reason for poor platforming gameplay to exist anymore. Would not recommend this game at all (unless you need it as an Amazon item filler to get free shipping like I did).
