GAME REVIEW: The Simpsons Game

I am a huge fan of the simpsons. I have all the DVD's simpsons shirts, simpsons items, I love them. so when I rented the Simpsons Game for the Wii this weekend I had high hopes. The game has a lot of cut scenes from simpsons Tv episodes. and it has somewhat a decent fluid theme in the game and the graphics are decent for what they did. The graphics are nothing like they had for Samus and her awesome power suit, but it's acceptable, on the raving Rabbits scale of quality.

problem is playability. the third person camera sucks. most of the time it's not where it should be so you are busy jockeying it around. This RUINS game play. Many of the puzzles are of decent quality, it's a typical platformer game, jump here go there, stand on this button, beat this up. Unfortunately after the funny quotes wear off the fun of the game wears off as well. After 2 hours I gave up and simply shut off the Wii as I was bored. The challenge was light but fun, but it became repetitive.

I give the game 2 Stars. I'd buy it if it was $19.95.
