Anybody place this yet? It's supposed to be out. If yes, what's your opinion

never heard of it, in arcade? or console game?

activision picked up the complete game for distribution, so it should be coming out sometime in April or May.

I saw this the E3 last year. The game had so much promise but looked horrible. Each character had about 2 moves before it became repetitous. The V/O's were good, but at the time I played it, it appeared only 4 characters were playable and the others had not been implemented. Control was kind of clunky and nothing really too special. I can't stress how graphically inferior this game is. It looks quite washed out, choppy and lacking. A great idea, but a definate pass in my book.

I played an early version of this game at last year's E3.
I only checked it out because I love the Simpsons. But sadly, like all Simpsons licenced product it sucks. It was about 70% complete, but no amount of code could bring this up to snuff. I've played a lot of unfinished games and it's pretty easy to tell how something will turn out. And unless they started over with a whole new engine this game will suck. The gameplay was, for lack of a better word, retarted. All you can do is run around and button mash. The graphics were abysmal - really blocky, low polygon characters with little animation. A drab wrestling ring, the only background. There were some funny voice samples from the show, but taken out of context they were dumb.
This may have been okay on a better machine (Dreamcast, PS2) but as it is it looks bad for a PS1.

Here's a preview from ign.com. It was dated 6/27/00. I'd have to say that you guys are right after looking at the screenshots.

It sounded like a really cool concept when I first heard about it, but the graphics don't look real great. I might give it a rental and see for myself.

Did they ever release that sweet 4-player Simpsons arcade game onto consoles? I know it came out for PC, but I don't recall a console release.. I'd like to play that one again one of these days. It was pretty fun. Ditto the X-Men game that was on two screens.

I don't think they released either the Simpsons or X-Men multiplayer arcade game. Although I have to say, that X-Men game was one of the coolest arcade games ever.
