The Simpsons Game


Ay caramba - it's the first quality Simpsons game in years

Every level pairs up two family members with their own special abilities who you'll need to switch between to solve puzzles, reach otherwise inaccessible areas and find hidden collectables. In other words, it's a lot like LEGO Star Wars and is much more fun as a two-player game. Homer can stun enemies with a noxious belch and turn into a giant wrecking ball; Bart wields a catapult and turns into Bartman, using his cape to glide to high platforms; Marge is able to recruit characters to help her; Lisa plays her sax to stun enemies and can occasionally move objects; and even Maggie can squeeze through tiny gaps.

The main story isn't enormous, but as with LEGO Star Wars, a lot of the fun comes from trying to find every collectible, complete all the timed challenges and spot the gags you might have missed first time around.
