The Simpsons (Nintendo DS)

Product Information

Development [ edit ] Electronic Arts' Redwood Shores team, based in Redwood City, California, developed The Simpsons Game, and Electronic Arts published and distributed it. In the Xbox and PS3 version, all of Springfield can be explored and the levels are started from certain buildings, depending on the main location of the level. After your payment has been processed, the content will be downloaded to the applicable system linked to your Nintendo Account, or your Nintendo Network ID in the case of Wii U or Nintendo 3DS family systems. Several minigames are available to unlock and play, most which are updated versions of arcade games such as Frogger and Space Invaders, the latter which references the aliens Kang and Kodos from the Simpsons Treehouse of Horror episodes. The Simpsons Game was published by Electronic Arts and developed by its subsidiary, EA Redwood Shores; the company had signed a contract for the video game rights to The Simpsons in 2005.

Homer can wreak havoc and destruction by turning into a wrecking bowling ball version of himself, and the stylus and touchscreen come into play with puzzles for Marge and Lisa to solve. Each family member has their own abilities, with the PS3 and 360 version having character-unique power-ups.While underground, they find out that Jimbo, Kearney and Dolph have been sent by Principal Skinner to steal museum artifacts. In the Xbox 360 and PS3 version, Homer's shield item is a hot-pepper to turn into "Lava-Homer", a big lava ball that can walk on hazardous terrain, like barbed wire and defeat enemies and destroy things by touching them, although he can't use any abilities other than the aforementioned ones.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Like any game that relies on a character saying certain things during a specific action, there are instances where you'll hear the same thing again and again, but because a lot of the speech is level specific the variety is something you just can't ignore. There, they encounter powered-up enemies (only with halos over their heads), including aliens, loggers, chocolate rabbits, and dolphins. You'll see one or two (or maybe more) references to the things you love or hate in The Simpsons Game. Amaze worked what the console team built in 3D onto the Nintendo DS as a 2D experience that spans both screens as a single display.To start the purchasing process, it is necessary to sign in with the Nintendo Account and the Nintendo Network ID.
