We like new The Simpsons Video Game for XBOX 360 here at GameGuideDog.Com SOO Much, we want to share some of it with you. Here's what it looks like. Check this out!
Late in "The Simpsons Game," Lisa Simpson sums up the challenge facing the title's developers. "How," she asks series creator Matt Groening, "could you have sold us out to all those awful videogames?" Homer and Marge's clan has appeared in more than a dozen games since the series debuted in 1989, all of which suffered from the fundamental flaw of trying to jam the Simpsons into an existing videogame genre.
EA wisely decided to go in the opposite direction -- designing the game around the series' satirical bent. While clever jokes and episode references abound, the real genius lies in the concept: The Simpsons discover early on that they are caught in another bad licensed videogame and try to find out who is to blame (Groening is a primary suspect, but not the only one).
In the process, they fight through levels that mimic and skewer dozens of videogames from the past quarter century. Popular franchises like "Super Mario Bros.," "Grand Theft Auto," "Everquest," "Dance Dance Revolution," "Medal of Honor" and "Pokemon" all make appearances, as do lesser-known fan favorites like "Katamari Damacy" and "Shadow of the Colossus." In some of the most inspired moments, the camera switches to an overhead view and the game mimics '80s arcade classics like "Frogger" and "Gauntlet."
The parade of parodies is so relentless -- and the spoofs so smart and naturally woven into the storyline (developed by writers from the series) that the game captures the essence of "The Simpsons" at its finest.
