Simpsons Xbox 360

This is a game worth renting. No, it won't make you stop playing Halo 3, but it does pass the time between waiting for Call of Duty 4 and Mass Effect or Assassins Creed.

Graphics are outstanding, the cut scenes are seriously impressive and fun if you are a Simpsons fan. The HD quality cut scenses are worth it alone! Sound is fun, and all the insider jokes and cliche's are fun too!

Bad part about the game is the camera, controls and frustration factor. It can really drive you crazy when the camera won't pan the way you want because of a wall. It's also equally annoying when you are in a section of the game that LOCKS the camera - those are the worst. Frustration sets in as you fall off the same platform or miss the same jump over, and over, and over, and over again. And don't forget the endless re-doing of portions of the levels because you need to catch your co-player up to the point at which the main character is at.

All in all, this is worth a rental and a play. It's enjoyable in small doses and actually pretty fun when you get past the annoying parts.

Good game for Simpsons fans. Reminds me of the Family Guy game but better.

This game could have been, a good game based on a cartoon. It's not a bad game, it's just I expected more? First the good, I am amazed that they got the entire cast from the show to do the voices;)in this day&age that's very rare. I like the fact, that it's game with in a game, no seriously. It pokes fun at the "game clichés" we all know. The Double Jump, Smashing Barrels. This has game has one of the easiest achievement to get, by pressing the Start button:P 5 point achievement, just like that. It also has some very interesting "cameos" like Will Wright. For those who don't know he is? He created the Sims:) When you run into him in the game, his platform he stands is "powered" a Sims Icon. Now the bad, the camera control is very frustrating. If your going to have a "plat forming" game you need better camera control. Another thing
is there is no difficultly setting? The game at times is very hard, and sometimes the control is spotty a best. Expect to die lot, another gripe I have is that you can only control 2 Simpson's characters at a time? It's because, each level is designed around the 2 characters. Think Justice League. The ugly, it's a very short game. You can beat the game between 8-10 hours. Instead of blowing 50 or 60 dollars? I would rent it first, unless you "die-hard" Simpson's fan? You will probably like this game, I however did not. To quote Comic book Guy from the show, "Worst Simpson game ever, for the 360"
