The Simpsons Game (for all systems)

I know that this is technically really old news, but I'd like to see what all of you here at DVDTalk think about these games. I did a search and couldn't find a thread just for these games, so here we go.

http://www.ea.com/gts/

Click here and watch a trailer really quick.

Here is a video of the DS version:

And here is a video of the 360 version:

http://www.gamespot.com/video/939416...=e32007_videos

I think they both look awesome, and I want them now. Self-aware Simpsons? A pet Homer? I'm so totally in.

And while I'm talking about The Simpsons, I'll once again say that I wish that they'd release the old arcade game to XBLA.

They really pulled together an amazing game so far. I'm sure the only problem I will have with it is that it'll end up being far too short and I'll crave more when it is all said and done.

I like the "Paper Mario" style graphics over more recent games' 3d look.

hit and run was a great game. Can't wait for a new one... Glad the franchise is getting some game respect for a change.

Wow, I love the look of this. I enjoyed Hit & Run but had a few problems with it. This one looks to have taken the best elements of that game and improved on everything else. I hope I'm right.

I thought for sure they'd release it when the movie came out, just like they did with TMNT. Maybe the rights issues are more complicated with The Simpsons or something, I don't know.

This new game looks good, though.

I really enjoyed Simpsons Road Rage , and Hit and Run so I bet it will probably be fairly good.

Looks fun, and I agree with Groucho, I like how they did the graphics. From that gameplay video, the one thing that concerns me is the camera - it looks like it could be easy to jump or fall of a building in the wrong direction.

The game looks fantastic on all the systems. I'm glad they went the 2d sidescroller route with the DS version. Those are some of the best graphics seen on the DS.

I would figure that would be nigh on impossible as the arcade game was made by Konami and this game is being distributed by EA.

Ubisoft and Konami struck a deal to get TMNT on XBLA so you never know..

My stepdad is still getting it. In the next few weeks alone, he is getting this, Ratatouille, Call of Duty 4, Assassins Creed, Uncharted Drakes Fortune, Lego Star Wars the Complete Saga and Timeshift.

He just picked up Ratchet and Clank as well. He goes in spurts or games. He'll play the Simpsons game for a few days, then shelf it when Call of Duty 4 comes out. Then move on to the next game, and the next, etc.

He did this with Harry Potter, Warhawk, Full Auto 2, Virtua Tennis, Tiger Woods 08, NBA Live 08, and a few others.
