The game borrows themes from some of the most famous episodes in the shows run to aid in the art of level design. It’s not often we get one over on the movie industry but this was quite the overshadowing indeed. However, in a rather unprecedented turn of events, the movie was rather lacklustre, whereas the game provided a captivating story, offered the same quality sense of humour as the show and even provided some parody and satire on the gaming industry to boot. Or alternatively, a shameless cash grab that mirrors the plot of the movie. When it comes to video games that coincide with a movie release, often it means that the video game will be an afterthought. We find out in our review of The Simpsons Game. This title aims to offer the same level of wit, humour and hilarity of the TV show along with some tight controls and stellar gameplay, but can it pull it off. To make comparisons outside of this series, it plays rather like other platformers such as SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom, Ty the Tasmanian Tiger or Futurama.
However, this game takes a more platform and puzzle heavy approach. This game has similarities to the aforementioned Simpson’s titles. So with that in mind, Redwood Shores set to work about creating a title that would service the fans while offering a truly unique gaming experience, with a little help from Matt Groening’s brainchild, of course. However, these games had never truly aimed to offer a linear, narrative-based story within the cartoon universe. We have had to name a few, The Simpsons Wrestling, The Simpsons: Road Rage, Simpson’s Skateboarding and of course, the iconic The Simpsons: Hit & Run. Over the years, we have been treated to a number of video games within the Simpson’s universe.
