This is the best simpsons game by far with all the references,humor and fun you expect in a game.This game is like simpsons GTA.Instead of killing people with guns you kick people with the mighty boot.When you hit someone with a car the go flying in the air.It has funny dialogue and some crazy missions.There is plenty to do between the side missions,gags,finding collector's cards,and the main mission itself.What I like is how you can drive or walk depending on how you feel.All the key places are here like the Kwik-E-Mart,Power Plant,Church,and all the other places.The voice acting is great with all the cast members in the game.Vehicle designs and stats make sense and are cool.You play as Marge,Lisa,Apu,Bart,and Homer.Sadly it's time to go to the cons.The missions are far to repeditive.Collect these items,destroy that car,race this guy,beat the clock.Those are pretty much the missions you do.Also The levels are repeditive.7 levels 3 environments.Granted they change a little each time but still.My final complaint is that it goes from easy to hard in the blink of an eye.Don't let the cons turn you away from this fantastic game though.

This game was rather fun, but was simple to gather money to purchase things. All you had to do was hunt down the Wasp Cameras and smash boxes. With the right code you could smash and blow up cars but then you trigger a Hit and Run which the music is annoying, sounds like a 70's cop chase. The levels had their difficulty but in the end, if you beat it, it has a pretty funny ending. It was more of a search and find items type of game, you go around collecting cards and unlocking vehicles and when you beat it, it isnt worth playing again. The downside to it, is when you collect each card you unlock a mini game which is what it says... you choose your character and your vehicle and drive around a tiny track in a tiny car, the steering sucks and really was pointless to add it in the first place.
Very fun but can get frustrating

This game is a blast. It is pretty straightforward but some of the tasks took me multiple tries and multiple days to get. Even my husband took turns when I got too frustrated and then he got frustrated and so we both stopped for a while. But it is a fun game. There are little secrets all over the place and the different cars are fun to drive. Its a good game for any age because the controls and game design are straightforward, like I said. I have yet to finish the game (because I'm stuck) but I am a good ways thru and have enjoyed it immensly so far.
Do not waste your money and time on this trash!

I bought this game recently, because I love the Simpsons and love the other games featuring the residents of Springfield. I must say that I have never played Grand theft Auto to which many people compare this game, but I believe you do not have to be familiar with GTA to honestly rate this game as one of PS2s worst games ever!
Levels one through three are actually really fun, because you get to experience Springfield in 3D and you get to interact minimally with other Springfield residents and environments. The treasure hunt of finding wasp cameras, collectable cards, Buzz cola cases and machines, and coins was fun for the first hour or two, but this is the majority of the game and becomes terribly redundant and boring! The missions put the player at a great disadvantage and you have to be more than perfect in some cases to be successful and to advance the plot WITHOUT utilizing the skip feature that many others obviously clung to and who rated this game highly!
After Level three this game repeats itself to a ridiculous degree! The missions are exactly the same, but you might control a different character and complete tasks with both less time and with impossible perfection (I must have attempted the same thing 40 times or even more on some of the pointless missions!). Almost all of the missions have nothing to do with any of the storyline and only frustrate the player beyond the scope of what a game should expect from a player.
The game also becomes very annoying on top of it all as the characters say the same things over and over and over! I think that each character has about five phrases total and believe me... you will have them all memorized very quickly. If you find one of the main characters automatically annoying in the series as I do... they will be even worse and make you want to bang your head against the wall until your headache disappears!
I actually wasted my time and almost finished this game, but after attempting the final mission about 50+ times... I gave up! I saw no possible way for the average player to beat this yet alone enjoy themselves in attempting to do so. I have lost all motivation and desire to complete this game and because of my terrible experience... I am leery to try the new title which was just released this year.
If you like the Simpsons and enjoy driving games... steer clear from this garbage as your money would be better spent on Road Rage or the Hot Wheels series.
Great Game!

I was surprised at how good this game is. It's not quite as free-form and open as GTA; in fact the levels are quite linear, but cleverly designed to not seem that way. Missions are all about driving, which gets tedious sometimes. Timed missions are sometimes very tight. Overall it's fun though, well worth the $10 or so bucks it sells for these days.

After the wrestler you'll have you fist oft wo bonus stages nfor extra points by how mant times you puny and your ballon before the time limir. Reach the end of the dock and pick up the pie. Like in the first level you can do extra damage to the next boss a gigantic crust ballon if you pick up the cat before it wa;ls away it hits this mamoth boss when you throw it. Here is the second stage boss statistics. The crust ballon boss has hand chop like attack and a body slamms that does about the same amount of damage as the wrestlers boss moves. He also has a long dikstance attack when he will try to hit you with some explouding ballons if he gets a chance if you counter to slowly. Hit the ballon with 32 hits of about 3.1% damage each hit and it will crazy to the ground the woddon pear will collaspe then you will take a huge fall and enter th third stage the grave yard which is split up into two segements. The next boss is two one one boss fight they only have one attack and it does about 1/6 damge each time the two minions together have 25% resitance so so about 12 hit on each of 8.3% damage per hit more or less will bring these men in blake wan bees down. Now you enter the four stage mows tavern the boss get fast and stronger have higher inndurance strength and speed status. This boss has strong attack statusa fire blast and a punc will deplete on bar of vital you with two to four hits if at half a bar of vital our less. Hit with 27 hits of about 3% damage per hit will doging his power fist and godzilla heat beam like attack this boss goes down. Next it on to the mountain stage. After about 29 hits of about 3% damage give or take half a percent or so the bear boss will go down. Just doging his rolling attack paw swipe and fallening bouilders until he is conquered. You next go to cut scene were you fall over a waterfall and enter the next stage dream land after you are knocked unconcus this is when the game really heats up. This boss ahs 79% resitance hit bowling ball 79 times it will go but not with out release more last suprise weak attack as it destroyed that is pretty much un avoidable. This one of easier boss hit the nija smaura boss with 41 hit. His attack has limited ranges with his spear is only go at super point blnaks range. After a cut scens smither flee on a helicopter you hitch a ride now you are ate the final. Two boss fights first the annoying mr. Smister then finanly a super annoying robot cop mr burners boss. Here is the damage resitance strength for the two boss combine damagae resitance of 118 percent . Give Mr. smiters a damage resitance evivalent of about 10 59 hits worth of damage for mr burner. Or more precisly it takes about 22 hits of 4.5% damage and about 96 hits at 77/100 that attack strength to bring down Mister burn. After 95 hit his hit tech suit is destroyed go in and deliver the final blow and 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 the winner undisputed doudle tag team champions are Hommer, Marry, Bart and Lizzy. Congrulations you beat one fo the hardest arcade games of its time. Go foward now and may the DOOP be with you! (Not the drug)
