The DS version of the game, which was significantly different from the other versions, received praise for its unique gameplay, but criticism for its short length. IGN lauded the DS version's unique gameplay experience [27] and GameSpot proclaimed that it was satisfying from start to finish. [22] GameSpot and GameZone, however, were both disappointed that the game was extremely brief. [19] [22] 1UP found that even though The Simpsons Game parodied numerous 2D platform game conventions, it used them anyway, making it a pointless endeavor. [9] Cancelled sequel [ edit ]

Players of The Simpsons Game are able to control the Simpson family each with their own unique abilities. [1] Two different family members are playable in each level, [2] [3] aside from the tutorial level, "The Land of Chocolate", in which only Homer is playable, in all of the levels in which Marge appears, in which Maggie is also playable, and the final level, "Game Over", where all members of the family are playable. [4] The game contains sixteen levels, called episodes, [3] and each requires specific powers to complete. For example, in the fourth episode, "Lisa the Tree Hugger", the player is required to use Lisa's "Hand of Buddha" power to move large objects, and Bart's slingshot to shut down machines. Enemies unique to each episode are featured, with the exception of the final level, in which enemies that have already been defeated are "recycled" with different colors. [5]

This game features cel-shaded graphics, in contrast with the "solid 3D" rendering used in the previous three Simpsons games released ( The Simpsons Road Rage, The Simpsons Skateboarding, and The Simpsons: Hit and Run). The PS3 and Xbox 360 versions use a "flattening" technique to render true 2D graphics, instead of the traditional 3D cel shading method, and the DS is a 2.5D platformer. Many cutscenes feature the 2D style, shown like a normal Simpsons episode (except for the DS version, which has 3D rendered cutscenes). ELSPA Sales Awards: Platinum".

Furthermore the patch causes the player's to fall through the T-rex in the second mission halting progression with the patch enabled.
