These abilities grow and change as they progress through the story to battle tougher and tougher enemies in their quest to save Springfield!

Reviewed on 2008-01-20 Simpsons Game for PSP This game is great for Simpsons fans (which I am one). The videos are fun to watch, you get to play a lot of the characters with their own personalities. The game stays true to the humor of the TV show. I want to point out the flaws, however, so you'll be prepared: 1. The 3D perspective is a bit difficult to use, since you can only center it on the direction in which the player is facing by hitting "L" (you can't pan or look around up or down). The perspective also changes on its own depending on the angle, so it can be frustrating to control the character. 2. There are quite a few places where you just can't figure out what to do. I've had to go to someone's online walkthrough about 5 times so far just to keep going, and I'm halfway through the game. The most frustrating thing is if you're not around a computer or WiFi: I was on an airplane going across the country, and I got stuck on what to do to finish a level, and couldn't play it again until I got home! What a bummer!! If it weren't for some of the confusing tasks to finish a level, the game would otherwise be pretty easy. It certainly is fun while it's moving along!

Reviewed on 2007-12-25 Absolutely wonderful! I absolutely love The Simpsons Game by EA games! It's absolutely hilarious, the plot is wonderful, it's not as risque and 'stupid' as some other games, and it is one hundred percent pure HOMER! You start the game with a cartoon (you get cartoons all throughout the game, which is an added bonus, and they're all filled with humor just like in the show) of Homer, who's dreaming of the famed Fudgetown. Added on to the scene is the annoyed white chocolate rabbit, who taunts Homer and the tutorial begins. I got captivated in the first minute: you play a fat guy, running around eating stuff. And normally the little remarks get annoying right? (Gulps and 'mm's and whatnot) There are tons of them, and they're randomized. Hallelujah! For example, 'this chocolate needs more chocolate' or 'I'll diet when I'm awake!' Graphics are simply amazing, the plot is ingenious (really, Homer as a giant ball? Wicked!) and the voice actors did not skimp at all. Unlike in Harry Potter and other various games, you can rest easy knowing that you'll enjoy the real voices of Bart, Lisa, Marge and Homer all throughout the game. Any Simpsons' fan will appreciate this. You have my word!
