New 'Simpsons' Game Is Actually Good

by Switched Staff on October 31, 2007 at 01:49 PM




'The Simpsons' game has finally touched down at retai (well, tomorrow, anywayl, and the reviews, such as GameDaily's, are starting to trickle in. Meanwhile, IGN says it's got "a sense of humor that can only be described as equal to Simpsons episodes of old," and 1up notes that "while the action can be uneven -- though never bad -- creativity and charm carry the game to a higher level."

Our hands-on take? It's easily the best Simpsons game since the original arcade rendition Konami put out in 1991; Simpsons fans will find tons to love, as the game is peppered with an amazing number of characters, references, and in-jokes from the show. Those simply looking for a great action game may have some better options, though; The combat is a bit simplistic, and there are quite a few obtuse puzzles that will slow your progress (read: frustrate the living daylights out of you).

Definitely worth a rental for casual fans, and if you're a Simpsons junkie, go ahead and spend the sixty bucks.
