The Simpsons. The Simpsons Game Review. The funniest episode of The Simpsons in years turns out to be a videogame. By Nate Ahearn Updated: 14 May am. Metal Gear Solid, Madden Football, Lord of the Rings, The Sims, Christianity, Mario, Sonic, Grand Theft Auto, and the videogame industry as a whole are just a few of the things that are parodied in The Simpsons Game , where players assume the roles of all four members of the cartoon family that has been invading televisions since Fans were understandably concerned when they heard that the yellow-skinned, four-fingered quartet would be making their way not only into a full-length feature film but also into an EA-made videogame in the same year.
While the movie didn't turn many heads with its humor, we're happy to report that the game certainly will, thanks to a sense of humor that can only be described as equal to Simpsons episodes of old. Heed the call, fans: this game is good. The game brings the cartoon household knowingly into their own videogame when Bart stumbles upon a game manual that has seemingly dropped from the heavens.
What's inside the manual? Why it's the guide on how to use the family's all-important powers against their captors, of course! Along the way they'll be pitted against villains from the show, EA higher ups yes, you read that right , and their creator - in more ways than one. While the plot of the game is functional, the real star of The Simpsons Game is the hilarity that ensues. The only thing really missing is a bona fide Treehouse of Horror tribute, though there are elements from the series of Halloween specials throughout the play experience.
It would have been fine and dandy if the game simply reconstructed classic episodes and spit them out at gamers to play through but The Simpsons Game goes a step further and actually parodies tons of Hollywood and videogame properties as well. Not only does it bring its own episodes back to life, poke fun at tons of EA properties, and make fun of videogames by mentioning the Xbox and PS4, but there are also some awesome cameos in the game.
The series creator Matt Groening plays a hilarious role as himself, Will Wright is perfectly portrayed and exhibits signs of humor for the very first time, and then there's God Himself who makes an appearance and manages to drop an F-Bomb along the way. Yes indeed, the humor element is easily the game's strongest point.
Luckily the gameplay isn't half-bad either. As you'd expect, The Simpsons Game can largely be summarized by calling it a platformer.
You'll get to play as all four characters, though typically only two will be available in a level, and those two characters are predetermined by the game. You're able to switch between the two at any point during gameplay, unless you and a friend are partaking in some co-operative play, in which case things are pretty much set in stone, but we'll talk more about the co-op a bit later.
It's obvious why they designed the levels to only incorporate two characters as many of the obstacles can only be passed by certain characters, though we would have preferred to have the Simpson family as a whole at our disposal. Even though the act of playing through the levels doesn't add anything new to the platformer genre, The Simpsons Game actually takes a new approach to tried and true gameplay by poking fun at itself through the use of attainable video game cliches.
It points out the fact that all videogames have crates, bosses with overly obvious weak points, and other things of that nature. With this knowledge, you'll control them through a few stages to be more acquainted with them. Bart returns as Bartman, cape and cowl included, Lisa strikes fear into the hearts of environmental polluters, Marge forms a mob to halt the continued sale of an extremely violent game, and my personal favorite, Homer enters a chocolate world where he takes on a smart talking white chocolate rabbit.
It may have been a bit disturbing, but when you defeat the enemies in chocolate world, their heads fall to the ground and Homer eats them. Hey, it's chocolate so it's not that bad. After those initial rounds on the training levels, you'll start seeing an over-arching story happening. I won't give it all away because there are some very solid jokes in each of the "episodes.
You will find yourself beginning with a chuckle and then have to just burst with some of the parodies and inside jokes. The jokes worked well for only one reason: the voice cast. Everyone from the show provides his or her voice to the game. Granted, this has been done before, but not on this level.
Even the minor characters from the show have the voice talent behind them. In addition to the voice talent authenticating the experience of the Simpsons, the animation looks just like the television show, with a movie polish. I was so glad to know developers were not going to try to use the 3D models they have tried to use in the past.
