Topic: The Simpsons Game

This is the first "PS2 game plus minigames" Wii game we've seen from EA. Most of their games have been pretty good and the ones that weren't at least seemed like they tried.

I was reading a bit more about the Wii version, and it appears EA cut a TON of stuff for it. THey shortened many of the levels and axed free roam Springfield from the final version (you go to all the levels from the Simpson's house in the Wii version)!

I knew my "don't try this game" alarm was going off for a reason.

Back again after finishing the game today. My first post's good/bad issues turned-out to be true for the rest of the game.

Camera problems and jumping were the two killers for me in this one -- they were ridiculously bad. You will be as frustrated at times playing this game as you've ever been since the early days of the NES.

BUT...

The story was so good and FUNNY, that I'd suffer through 20 or 40 lame deaths per level just to see more of it. It was better-written than the last 10 seasons of the TV show. Some of the stages are EPIC in their level of parody. Nothing much went untouched for spoofs on videogames/movies/Simpsons lore - everything major was covered. Heck, entire levels become based on games. Any Simpsons fan who's a longtime videogame player should at least rent this one.
