The Simpsons Game Demo Impressions
The second demo I tried out today was The Simpsons Game demo. It was pretty much what one would expect from a Simpsons game. Hilarious dialog, cartoon graphics, and the Simpsons characters doing some fighting. I really like this demo once I figured out what they wanted me to do. The camera controls took a little getting use to, but over all they were not to bad. The graphics looked pretty much just like the TV show and movie which adds to the feeling of playing an episode of the cartoon. I don’t want to ruin the demo for anyone who has not played it yet because it is pretty funny so I’m not going to discuss the specific details of the demo. It is an adventure game where you play as the Simpsons. Each family member has different abilities and attacks that you have to use to navigate through the game and defeat the enemies. The humor in the game seemed geared towards adults but the game play is geared towards a younger audience. Maybe it is because it is a demo but pretty much every intractable item pops up a tip showing which character can use the item and how they can use it. I’ll probably rent The Simpsons Game to play through the story line and enjoy the humor. I’m not sold on it yet, but I’ll probably add it to my GameFly queue and get to it eventually.
