Not bad!

I bought this game shortly after release after playing Simpsons Hit & Run practically nonstop. I didn't follow video game news at the time and just assumed it would be in the same vein. Well, it wasn't, but that doesn't automatically make this a bad game. It was more level-based, rooted in exploration and puzzle solving, which at times proved to be quite enjoyable. Unfortunately, I found the story to be pretty boring and the graphics weren't as smooth as Hit & Run's.

I would still recommend it to fans of the show who also partake in the occasional video game. Not bad, not great, but not without its moments.
