I've been playing the Wii version for last couple of hours - the horrible camera is making it a very tedious experience. I seem to be spending more effort trying to control the camera than actually playing the game. Very disappointing.

That's one of the game's biggest problems. Surprisingly, the console version is also even more ambiguous than its portable counterpart-- at least you get objectives, but there's not always any direction as to how to accomplish it.

The platforming sequences are less than accurate, too. Lots of do-overs.

I got this on 360, and the problems aren't overwhelming. The humor is great, though.

I'm going to try to beat it during my rental and I'll attempt to get as many collectibles and achievements as I can. But, I'll probably end up picking it up down the road, when it's cheap, to get the others. I like it and wouldn't mind owning it, but it's not worth $70 to me.

I have the 360 version. I love the visuals and the humor, but geez, help a gamer out here game. The second stage (Bartman Begins) took me 40+ minutes last night because there were so many moments of "I just don't know what I'm supposed to be doing here". The game doesn't tell you much of anything.

That, right there, is why The Simpsons Game fails. Too much trial and error makes for a frustrating experience.

Played the first two levels on the 360... finding the humor very entertaining, but the gameplay is pretty sub-standard... Nothing special. And that freakin camera!

The camera does indeed suck, but I love the game. It's fun to spot all the past episodes and pop culture references.
