I had read a few reviews of The Simpsons Game and was pretty saddened by the level of hate that was aimed toward our friendly yellow crusaders the Simpson family, but I decided to give them a whirl on my 360. The game starts off with the ever famous Land of Chocolate level where you smash chocolate bunnies and then eat them to fill your power gauge as Homer. The level is full of humorous lines and the graphics of Homer in HD are pretty damn sweet.

You then progress and pick up Bart and take him and Homer through the museum and learn that Bart can become Bartman! At this stage I learned that you can co-op a friend in and one of you controls Bart while the other controls Homer, this made the game pretty fun. Yes there are camera issues and the controls aren’t anything special, but it is a humorous platformer with your favorite cast of yellow citizens. This game is made for Simpsons fans to enjoy the humor, the gameplay could have used some work from what I have seen so far, but for the parts I got to play with my friend (before my Xbox died!) was pretty fun. It is the equivalent of watching a Simpson’s episode.

There is also probably one of the best achievements ever in the game, you get 5 points for hitting start and starting the game! Comic genius. Unfortunately I couldn’t get more time in with it, but once I get my Xbox 360 back you better count on a full review of this bad boy! DOH!
