This game isn't an amazing game, but with that said it isn't horrible either. It's no Hit n' Run but with that said it still holds it's own ground and has interesting level design parodied off of other classic games of the time. One thing that I do enjoy about this more than the last title on the ps2 "Hit n Run" Is that you get to walk-through the entire Simpsons house and it's animated very nicely, something we couldn't really experience in Hit n Run. As stated in the title if your a big fan of The Simpsons than I recommend getting this game.

Dooh!! Those damn camera angles [is what the tech debuggers should be saying]. As I love platform 3D games and the subtle and sometimes not so subtle irreverent humor of the Simpson's, I figured I couldn't go wrong with this purchase (especially at $5 for PS2 console platform; newegg has it for PS3 console at $12 with free shipping, which looks a little better in the graphics dept,- appearing to have more solid edges and textures to objects). When I said I figured I couldn't go wrong, I figured wrong. To explain; from the start of play, the control is terrible, due to camera angle viewpoints control often not being able to correctly adjust, causing players to have to repeat what should have been a simple series of jumps,- over and over and over..... and over,.. did I say over again? Inexcusable failure to properly debug this problem before release to publication makes what should be lighthearted casual fun to be a frustrating experience that persists throughout gameplay. The options allow user changes of horizontal and vertical camera viewpoint control to be inverted (either one or both), which is helpful for most 3D platform games; however, due to the camera viewpoint control failing to allow players to correctly adjust view while making a series of jumps that any gamer with moderate skills should be ableto pull off on the first attempt,.. letalone the 5th,- it is difficult to enjoy the humor when you are getting pissed off! This game has enough creative variety and humor to be fun, but the buggy problems that plague it throughout are not amusing,- so instead of 4-4.5 for its unique genre, it ends up getting a hard to award 3.5, and that is being generous. (Actually had to score either 3 or 4, usig eBay rating system, no half points).Read full review
i would have given this 4 stars but it's too low. Perhaps 4.6... this is game is great if you just like having fun exploring the simpson's non-violent universe without teeth gnashing puzzles to deal with. The game is simple because it is clearly made for fun, not countless hours of repetitive and often violent scenarios as is the case with most games. It's easy to get through, the graphics are spectacular on the playstation 2 due primarily to the simple colors and shapes of the cartoon world and you will enjoy playing this with family members. I highly recommend this one. The only pet peeve i really have with it is while always enjoyable to play, I thought they could have added a few more story cut scenes to make the gameplay a little bit more atmospheric. The cutscenes in this game are great and i love watching them, but they lack the emotion of the series. All in all, the game is well thought out with lots of little things throughout the level that you can pick up. Pick all of them up in a level and a surprise awaits you at the simpsons house. I thought the explanations of the game's "video game cliches" were quite clever, which is an actual game feature you unlock after doing certain actions a certain amount of times where the game will pause and tell you about all the different GTA and FPS game clihes that exist within the simpsons levels, but at times the cut scenes will have dialogue also explaining some of them. It's apparent the writers of the show had a lot to do with the development of the storyline and character dialogues. So do go out and buy it, it's great if you like a game that is all about care-free exploration and fun.Read full review
