November 1, 2007 - The Simpsons Game is a good time in spite of the somewhat mediocre design and technical glitches. Considering that the license is notorious for being slapped onto downright awful games, most fans will probably decide that good enough really is good enough.

November 8, 2007 - The Simpsons Game on Wii falls short of its next-gen brethren because of mediocre controls that cause unneeded deaths throughout the game. Had it offered online cooperative play, or local co-op play that was actually fun, then the score would definitely be higher, but as it stands The Simpsons is a decent effort on Wii.

December 10, 2007 - If you are a Simpsons devotee, then the pitch-perfect humor, writing, and look of this game will more than make it worth putting up with the standard gameplay mechanics.

November 2, 2007 - The Simpsons Game is exceptionally funny, but the hobbled Wii control scheme sucks out what little fun there was to be had with the gameplay.

October 30, 2007 - The main story isn't enormous, but a lot of the fun comes from trying to find every collectible, complete all the timed challenges and spot the gags you might have missed first time around.
