The underappreciated 2007 Simpsons game | minimme

I always liked how all versions of the game had their own unique cover for each console.

[@YogoHDx]

Yep

[@vdnf321]

Unique concept that worked great

[@theultimategamer95]

Ikr? More games need that!

[@spongebobfan78]

SpongeBob's Truth or Square kinda did that but it's just SpongeBob's face with different expression each version.

[@plutosmash6068]

Almost all versions have unique features as well. The ps2 version compared to the PS3 for example. Ps2 version is scaled down and cut the open world spring field. Instead of the open Springfield there’s a smaller hub within the simpsons house. The alien invasion is depicted in the ps2 by going in the backyard and watching all the aliens, dolphins and Lard Lad destroying the city. Where as in the ps3 version the open world just periodically spawns aliens. The level five characters in search of an author is completely different in the ps2 compared to the ps3.

[@KaizerBeatz-vf9wf]

[@GeriatricFan1963]

Jonathan Morales I always thought it was weird how the 2D cutscenes from the 360/PS3 version of the game are actually 3D in the DS version; looks a lot like Hit and run actually. (Which is bizarre because the gameplay is in more of a 2D style; so it’s the reverse of the other versions)

[@tomthroffle]

The amount of Full Motion Video was impressive, the ingame Graphics were (Really well drawn) 2D Levels with good Spritework. The weird Cutscene Look is probably because the Videos were taken from An early Console version, where the Cutscenes were made ingame before being Reworked as Hand drawn Animation

[@TDRR_Gamez]

No, it wasn't because of that, but because the DS has much lower storage space in it's cartridges, so obviously FMVs can't be put there, requiring a change to 3D animations. (Yes, 3D animations cost far less space than videos)

When the story got to the point where [SPOILERS] ...they got meta and talked about how someday no one will play their game and they’ll be obsolete, my heart broke. That was the moment I realized that I was invested in the characters, their lives, and their fate. Afterwards, I started looking at my videogames differently.

I liked it its slower than hit and run but hit in run was nothing but speed the whole game i liked the parkor and the levels were all unique and fresh

[@Ultimodestructico]

That’s your own fault lol

Same with me, but looking back: The Simpsons Game > Hit & Run. I played first Hit&Run on PC, and later, the other one on PS2

Your profile pic reminds me of the Futurama game too. I can hardly remember that game. Except the characters had blasters and there was a transition image between cutscenes that read ‘tricurious?’ and had a man, woman & alien in bed together. Weird game lol.

[@gwinnellheald8592]

I had hit and run, road rage and the Simpsons game as a kid. I played hit and run a little but got bored fast. The Simpsons game however? I ADORED it. Absolutely wholeheartedly love that game. It's liquid nostalgia for me now. My only complaint for it now is that the controls don't hold up at all and when you're used to an upped sensitivity Xbox one controller, dropping back down to an Xbox 360 with bad controls when I replay it. I genuinely had no clue people didn't like it since it's so loved in my house

[@nathansteele4358]

First game I ever played, has more nostalgia to me and I loved every second of it. I’ve played it 20 or 30 times😂 Genuinely my favourite game of all time However I played the wii version where levels were missing and you couldn’t explore the town. Which even though I know it’s worse than other versions, I love it more

[@hanh7395]

I remember playing this on my psp back in the day and thoroughly enjoyed it. Love the visuals, the simple arcade-y beat up gameplay - it's just one of those games where you play when you're bored or just want to switch your brain off for me. Didn't even realized there are next gen versions until this video.

[@etrs]

You know someone's old when they still call the 360 next gen

[@Christian-uu2yw]

seems like it’s basically a Simpson’s LEGO game, and there’s nothing wrong with that

[@jakehorsburgh2878]

Remember this was quite challenging at some points but it was a great game. The gameplay itself was so incredibly varied

[@ulquiorraamv759]

My mom gave this game to me for Christmas several years ago around the time it first came out and I loved every bit of it. It made it more fun when I was rewatching older Simpsons after beating the game and recognizing the references the game made to the show. It was definitely one of my favorite games as a kid/preteen.

[@donofcrumb4839]

Could you do a video on the other ports of this game? I loved the ds version of this game.

[@headflap7569]

When I was a youngster, I had the simpsons on the WII, and it instead of having the town as the main hub, it just had their house. From what I've seen, every console has their own variations in the game.

[@Ryanmiller70]

I remember playing this game so many times through middle and high school. It's just so much fun and I'd honestly rank it as the second best Simpsons game I've played. I also didn't know it had a hub world cause I only played the PS2 and Wii versions which I don't think had a hub world. I think you might have been able to walk around the Simpson's house, but that was it.

[@jordangrey6370]

I got this game in 08, I was 11. Lmao I wasn't thinking any of this, I loved every minute of it. Brings back heavy nostalgia.

[@razkable]

I think a lot of people didn't finish the game...probably saw the first couple stages got bored put it down...they didnt realize how meta and good it was going to continue getting the further you progress....its a game that starts off boring on purpose...

[@LuisDiVasca]

I played this one back in the day and I LOVED it! Just makes me want to play it again because there's a bunch of very subtles jokes in the backgrounds. For instance: At the Heaven Stage there's houses with mail boxes where deceased celebrities names written on, meaning those are their houses. And there is one with Paul McCartney name on, referencing the "Paul is Dead" conspiracy theory while there is another one with "Reserved for Elvis Presley" written on referencing the "Elvis is Alive" conspiracy theory. LMFAO

That guy with the sack of money literally has EA Executive on his chest, they knew before WE knew.

You didn't miss out on much on the ps2 version. The 360 and ps3 version had an extremely boring open world

I played this game a few years ago when I was 16 and it amazed me by how much fun it was. It came as such a surprise. For all intents and purposes, it's a fairly average game that wouldntve received much attention if it didnt have the Simpsons characters, writing, and humour, but my god did I have fun with it. It's genuinely one of my top 10 games ever, although I will admit that's I'm biased and it's ultimately a very normal game. Thanks for making this video.
