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.

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:

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.

That actually looks really good. Self aware Simpsons? The Land of Chocolate? :thumbsup:

Oooo chocolate.. half price :D

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

The Bus 08-08-07 08:14 AM

Looks nice.

mmconhea 08-08-07 11:01 AM

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.

LOL at Homer's Bill Paxton ... Game over Man! Game Over!!

DRG 08-08-07 03:39 PM

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. :thumbsup:

wow, this game actually looks pretty sweet. considering the rule of thumb when it comes to movies being made inot games i think this one will definitly be a game to rent or buy.

i cant wait to explore springfeild

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

aktick 08-08-07 06:16 PM

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.

Rob V 08-08-07 08:21 PM

I'll definitely pick this up. It looks like a ton of fun. Is there any online play?

Green Smurf 08-08-07 09:24 PM

I have loved all the Simpsons games and cant wait to get this one.

CreatureX 08-08-07 09:48 PM

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. :)

Simpsons Arcade Game as Unlockable :fc:

shumway 08-09-07 09:17 AM

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.

Totally In

I'll pickup this game 1st release if they include Simpsons Arcade version in the game. :)

CaptStormy 08-09-07 09:40 AM

Love they said coming for every platform ever made! (Amiga, Commodore Vic-20)
Simpsons Rule!

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

That'll be a purchase on day 1.

Average reviews on this from EGM, with just 7, 6.5, and 7 ratings.

GatorDeb 10-27-07 11:47 PM

Chalk me in for the DS version :D

nickdawgy 10-27-07 11:52 PM

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.
