The Simpsons Game

The Simpsons Game

The Simpsons Game is an action platformer video game based on the animated television series The Simpsons and loosely on The Simpsons Movie, made for the Nintendo DS, Wii, Xbox 360, PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Portable. The game was developed, published, and distributed by Electronic Arts. It was released in North America in October 2007 and worldwide in November 2007. It features an original storyline written by The Simpsons writers Tim Long, Matt Selman, and Matt Warburton. In the self-referential plot, the family discovers that they are forced to participate in another The Simpsons video game. Similar to the show, the game pokes fun at popular culture, other video games, and Electronic Arts, its publisher. The game follows the five Simpson family members—Homer, Marge (with Maggie), Bart, and Lisa—who learn they are part of a video game and are given superpowers to resolve several situations. Eventually, they must save their 8-bit predecessors from Will Wright, and the creator of their video game character selves, Matt Groening. The Simpson family travels to four scenarios in parodies of other games to collect key cards used to infiltrate their creator's mansion and ultimately to save their predecessors from destruction. The game was met with mixed reception from video game critics. They praised its visuals and writing, which included many parodies of other video games, while they criticized its short length and poor camera system, which did not always function properly. The Simpsons Game received the Best Game Based on a Movie or TV Show award at the 2007 Spike Video Game Awards and was nominated for Best Video Game Writing at the 2007 Writers Guild of America Awards. As of January 31, 2008, four million copies of the game have been sold worldwide.

Bart, what are you doing near a video game store?

Marge Simpson:
[gasps] Buying a video game?

Marge Simpson:
[gasps] I've heard about this. It's the game where you play a meanie-bo-beanie who murders other meanie-bo-beanies.

Marge Simpson:
I'm putting this game in the same place I put your swimsuit magazines, and your BB Gun: Homer's Underwear Drawer.

Bart Simpson:
[groans] Oh, Great. Now I have nothing to play except the games I bought yesterday. And I'm totally sick of them.

Bart Simpson:
[the Simpsons Game manual falls from heaven and lands in front of bart] The Simpsons Game? Hmm... this is so weird. [picks up manual] The only Simpsons Game I can think of is the one where we all pretend dad isn't an alcoholic. What could it be?

Bart Simpson:
Wait a second, this is a manual for a video game set in springfield! [gasp] And dad is a character! And so is mom. And lisa... who'd wanna play her? Whoa, I'm in this game! I wonder what my moves are, jumping, floating, oh man I gotta try this!

Bart Simpson:
[turns into bart man with heroic pose and wind blowing behind him] Wow, this is the only good book ever written!

Homer Simpson:
Hey boy, look what appeared in my magic drawer. Hey, what's with the fruity get-up? If you're planning on coming home like that don't bother.

Bart Simpson:
Dad, I'm a superhero now and I have all these awesome powers.

Homer Simpson:
Superpowers, huh? Well that's cool I guess. I was gonna go shoot bats while reading swimsuit magazines in this cave. Wanna come with? [Homer removes lid from manhole, Homer and Bart jump in]
