![]() You start out with Homer having a dream about chocolate bunnies who attack him. You put the game in your Wii and it seems like you are watching the tv series. More entertaining that watching the Simpsons Movie. You just come back to life! Great buy for Simpsons fans. As some have noted, it is one of the more violent Simpsons games but it seems less violent due to the fact that the characters are "cartoony" and their "super powers" a re humorous. UPDATE (1/11/10): Despite continued camera issues, my 4-year-old son and I finished the game! It was entertaining. There's good humor and bad camera angles. That's really all I've to say about it at this point. It has nice environments (based on 10 hours of game play) and sounds but it is difficult to see the environments with such a bad camera that doesn't rotate very well as you move through the levels. I just like The Simpsons, though, and just got a Wii and had to buy it. I know this is the Wii and The Simpsons Game is sort of a sit down game to begin with. Its Simpsons all the way but camera is a distraction. The Simpsons Game features a storyline crafted by the show's Emmy-winning writers and dialogue voiced by the original cast members. Players can even discover multiple video game clichés, from double jumps to invisible walls, each narrated with particular disdain by Comic Book Guy. Character-specific collectibles are available as well, such as Duff bottle caps or Krusty coupons, which unlock one of two trophies per level. Each character can also activate special moves by filling up an energy meter or by finding power-ups. Lisa, on the other hand, disarms enemies with her sax and calls on the "hand of Buddha" to unleash various attacks. Bart fires a slingshot and transforms into Bartman, while Marge barks orders into a bullhorn and dons a policeman's cap for added strength. Homer's abilities befit his slovenly persona: a belch of acrid gas and the power to transform into a blob to bounce or bowl over enemies. ![]() Cooperative play with a friend is also supported throughout the animated adventure, which mixes elements of platform hopping, projectile firing, and puzzle solving. Two playable family members are featured in an episode, with solo gamers able to freely switch between the pre-selected pair to take advantage of a character's special attributes. ![]() Each episode parodies films, television shows, and particularly video games, with the latter skewering such mainstays as Grand Theft Auto, EverQuest, and the publisher's own Medal of Honor series. Featuring cartoon-like, cel-shaded graphics and 3D environments, The Simpsons Game offers players a chance to control each member of the flawed family (even baby Maggie) in a series of 16 "episodes" spread across four acts. Homer, Marge, Bart, and Lisa are the last hope for Springfield in The Simpsons Game for Wii. ![]()
