The Simpsons Game

Surprisingly fun. Worth: $12
based on 360 demo, October 2007

I played this demo more from a sense of obligation than anything else, but I liked it a lot more than I thought I would. It felt like I was playing the cartoon: same voices, same visual style, and same great sense of humor.

While fun, it's really easy. Only a total video game newbie would struggle with this game. Skill level dictates not whether you finish, but how long it takes you to finish. Even with the relatively easy play, it's fast pacing could make it a fun diversion for a while.
