The Simpsons (Nintendo DS)

Product Information

When they reach the world it is a giant videogame world full of versions of popular videogame characters such as versions of Mario and Sonic the Hedgehog. It also revives many one-off jokes from past Simpsons episodes, some of which are so obscure that you might miss them. With the help of a mob of children they go through a magical castle while laying waste to any orcs (Moe Syzslak) or ghosts (Otto) in their way. After your payment has been processed, the content will be downloaded to the applicable system linked to the respective Nintendo Account, or respective Nintendo Network ID in the case of Wii U and Nintendo 3DS family systems.

Bart, for example, can assume the role of his heroic alter ego Bartman, which obviously grants the unruly fellow considerable super powers.Damien has over a decade of professional writing experience under his belt, as well as a repulsively hairy belly.

A third installment, the DSi, was released in 2009, and contains larger screens, two cameras, and the ability to edit pictures. Enemies unique to each episode are featured, with the exception of the final level, in which enemies that have already been defeated are "recycled" with different colors. So, Homer and Lisa reach the village, where blue sumos (appearing like Comic Book Guy) emerge from the filthy water. They praised its visuals, writing, and faithfulness to the original material, while they criticized its short length and poor camera system, which did not always function properly. Feed him up, tickle his belly or feet and give him the shock of his life when he starts to have a heart-attack.The 8-bit Simpsons can't believe, however, that they made it this far and only got 4 points (referring to the key cards, which they thought was the Simpsons' score). I still remember those good ol' days of the eight and 16-bit generation, a time when you could pretty much guarantee that a Simpsons game was going to stink. In the Xbox and PS3 version, all of Springfield can be explored and the levels are started from certain buildings, depending on the main location of the level.

It's full of the trademark humour that gets folks of all ages laughing out loud, and for that reason alone, is well worth a look. Because of limitations, a 3D action platformer becomes a 2D one, with the exception of stages featuring Marge.Homer can wreak havoc and destruction by turning into a wrecking bowling ball version of himself, and the stylus and touchscreen come into play with puzzles for Marge and Lisa to solve. Eurogamer's Tom Bramwell, however, believed that the game's humor could only carry it so far, and suggested that those interested in The Simpsons humor should purchase a box set of one of the television series' seasons instead. As you play through the game, you’ll see a lot of familiar faces as the game features many of your favourite Simpsons characters. So, while the game can be completed in a few hours (with an ending that's a fantastic payoff), there are some elements that should increase replay for a few more.
