The Simpsons (Nintendo DS)

Product Information

It's kinda ironic because the reason it succeeds is due to the modest hardware, as I said in the review. There's even a Pet Homer to nurture and care for: suffice to say this feature of The Simpsons Game is not a million miles away from Pokemon. The older 8-bit family informs the current Simpsons that their game will be destroyed as well in the future, but the Simpsons tell their older selves that their world is already being destroyed. Development [ edit ] Electronic Arts' Redwood Shores team, based in Redwood City, California, developed The Simpsons Game, and Electronic Arts published and distributed it.

After destroying several machines, they save bird-watchers Lenny and Carl stuck under a tree on a conveyor belt. In the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions, they battle the dragon on a stage that references the old video game, 'Joust'. ELSPA presented the game's Wii, Xbox 360 and PlayStation Portable versions with "Silver" certifications, [41] for sales of 100,000 units or more each in the region. The DS version is an ambitious side-scrolling affair that centres on a Springfield-based hub, and includes 12 unique episodes and something like 2000 lines of dialogue. In the Xbox and PS3 version, all of Springfield can be explored and the levels are started from certain buildings, depending on the main location of the level.Similar to the show, the game pokes fun at popular culture, other video games, and EA, its developer. They also animate incredibly well and overall the game is extremely close to the ‘look’ of the show. The game is based firmly in Springfield, seeing familiar buildings and locations show up as part of the action. It is a third-person action game featuring an original storyline written by Tim Long, Matt Selman, and Matt Warburton.

After seeing the destruction and the mob, the video game representative takes back his bribe and Marge is pleased, though Lisa points out the irony of Marge's use of violence to get her way, which was what she was objected about. Progress through the game’s story mode and unlock new items and characters with which Pet Homer can react. They wanted to create something that appealed to the fans of the show, and was, in its own right, "a great new game". He can also turn into Bartman: he can glide opening his cape, climbing walls and ziplines and grappling into grapples. Replay any episode of the Simpsons Game and unlock a unique Time Challenge to get ahead with the skills you have learnt the first time in this action video game.Play alone as one of the characters from the series and use their powers to save the world from a crisis in this Nintendo DS game. Peripheral characters also have plenty of amusing lines to deliver, although many of these will be lost on people who don’t watch the series religiously. She can use it to flick, smash, freeze, or send lightning bolts to enemies, as well as lift certain items.

Electronic Arts planned to develop a sequel to the game, entitled The Simpsons Game 2, but was cancelled in 2011 because the studio decided to make room for other projects. It's not a hard game by any means and it's a little straightforward and short, but it offers some great chuckles all the way through. Lisa has a saxophone, that can both stun and kill enemies, and her main power is using Hand of Buddha ports to move objects across the landscape, and to flick and smash enemies, and send lightning bolts to the ground, and turn enemies into ice-cubes.While the game for each system includes two episodes set in Springfield, a Springfield hub is also included that can be explored freely without any goals, and contains additional collectibles and cliches. When Bart tries out his powers (he turns into Bartman), he finds Homer and they go down the man hole near the Springfield Natural History Museum (Homer was going to shoot bats while reading swimsuit magazines). In addition to game parodies, The Simpsons Game also features several cameos with satirical spins, including Matt Groening as himself and Will Wright as an antagonist.

Top brands like Apple, Samsung, Sony, PlayStation, and Xbox are all available at Gadcet and come with 12-month warranty. Peter Nowak of CBC News named it the third-best game of 2007 and described it as "easily the best game starring the wacky residents of Springfield". The Simpsons Game, which parodies video games from 30 years prior to 2007, was forced to have some of its content removed after several video game companies complained about it. After the aliens attack, Bart and Lisa go to see Professor Frink, but he has been transported to a different world and they decide to follow him.Though I rag on the Simpsons brand's past reputation of being universally awful, Konami's arcade brawler was actually pretty good. Marge has a megaphone to recruit people to a mob and tell them to destroy, fix or build things and to step on platforms.
