He can also fill himself up with helium and float, as well as turn into a gummy blob later in the game. Homer is the powerhouse he can morph into a giant rolling ball, capable of bowling over foes with a speed burst or flattening them with a shockwave-style jump attack. The first few missions of the game are dedicated to unlocking each of the core family members and getting used to their individual superpowers. Bart picks it up and is amazed to find he and his family have access to special moves and powers - naturally, he wants to try them out.
#THE SIMPSONS GAME XBOX 360 REVIEW MANUAL#
In the middle of Bart's walk of shame, a manual for The Simpsons Game drops from the heavens. He leaves with the game, only to get busted by Marge, who quickly confiscates it. The more collectibles you get, the more bonuses you earn, like new costumes.Īfter the dream sequence (where Homer curses reality), we find Bart heading to the game store to purchase Grand Theft Scratchy. Also collectible are "video game clichés," which can range from the double jump to the "obvious weakness." You discover the clichés through experience so they aren't itemized. The game takes this time to introduce you to its concept of collectible items, which are tailored to specific Simpsons for instance, Homer is the only one who can collect Duff beer bottle caps, while Marge can pick up grocery coupons. Through Homer's battle with his chocolate foes, you learn that the face buttons control basic punch attacks (X), the art of double-jumping (A) and projectile-style attacks (B). This makes Homer a little mad, and he makes it his mission to track down his edible nemesis for a beatdown/snack. A white chocolate one ends up taunting Homer and runs away. We enter a dream sequence where Homer is in a virtual land of chocolate, filled by sarcastic talking chocolate bunnies and culminating with a battle on top of a massive cake. The journey starts with Homer Simpson dozing off in front of the television, his mouth brown from binging on chocolate. Since the story and dialogue are such an enjoyable part of the game to experience firsthand, I'll try not to spoil it here. In terms of overall plot, The Simpsons Game is essentially a playful jab (actually, it's more like left hook) at the video game industry, flanked by an alien invasion subplot as well as commentary on the meaning of life. You would need a good laugh to be able to put up with some of the technical issues that end up hindering the playing experience. It's the ultimate parody of an industry that is still forging its identity in pop culture.īut through all the laughs, the "oh wows" and the gags, the game can actually be a chore to play. It is so smart and sharply written that it nearly reaches the point of being socially relevant. It made me laugh out loud, smile until my cheeks hurt and tell others about its gags at the risk of appearing partially insane. Actually, it's one of the funniest games I've played in my history as a gamer.
Also, I badly wanted Halo 3, therefore I purchased a 360.The Simpsons Game is funny. I bought Xbox 360 because I really like Xbox Live and its whole achivements, trueskill etc. You buy it for whats inside and its games. Think about it! Should you be making a fuss over something so ridiculous? You don't buy a console because its the most successful.
#THE SIMPSONS GAME XBOX 360 REVIEW PS3#
I think PS3 fans should grow up and realise that Sony's success of gaming in this generation is not the same as the time of the PS2.
#THE SIMPSONS GAME XBOX 360 REVIEW PS2#
Most of last generation reviews were referred to the PS2 instead of Xbox or GameCube and there were no complaints. LOL! =D But anyway, PS3 fans shouldn't make a fuss. There could also be a conspiracy with Microsoft maybe bribing IGN to do it. Also, there are more 360 owners than PS3 at the moment and 360's momentum also seems to be larger. They may have found the game was developed better on the 360 version.

#THE SIMPSONS GAME XBOX 360 REVIEW MOVIE#
While the movie didn't turn many heads with its humor, we're happy to report that the game certainly will thanks to a sense of humor that can only be described as equal to Simpsons episodes of old. Fans were understandably concerned when they heard that the yellow-skinned, four-fingered quartet would be making their way not only into a full-length feature film but also into an EA-made videogame in the same year. Summary: Metal Gear Solid, Madden Football, Lord of the Rings, The Sims, Christianity, Mario, Sonic, Grand Theft Auto, and the videogame industry as a whole are just a few of the things that are parodied in The Simpsons Game where players assume the roles of all four members of the cartoon family that has been invading televisions since 1989.
