The Simpsons Game

But while the action can be uneven -- though never bad -- creativity and charm carry the game to a higher level. The humor will get you through the slow levels, the authentic voices and writing will satisfy your fanatcism, and the cameos (be it Matt Groening and a popular game designer who we'll keep under wraps for spoiler reasons, or levels featuring Kang and Kodos or the killer dolphins of "Treehouse of Horror" fame) will keep you entertained. It's not a great game, but it's a very good licensed product.

The gameplay might not be anything special, but The Simpsons Game delivers more than enough laughs to make it worth a look.

The Simpsons Game is exactly what it had to be, but nothing more. Had it offered online cooperative play, or local co-op play that was actually as much fun as the single-player game (if not more so) then the score would definitely be higher, but as it stands The Simpsons is a very enjoyable, though very, very short, single-player game that both hardcore and casual Simpsons fans will love. Heck, if you like to laugh then this game is at least worth a rental.
