Grab some Duffs, and snack so much that you’ll need a muumuu. This is the ultimate list of the best Simpsons games ever made.
Cultured Vultures: While the number one entry might be a foregone conclusion for some, let’s see if we can surprise you with our look at every Simpsons game ranked from worst to best.
In an interview with MinnMax, the team behind The Simpsons: Hit & Run revealed they were shocked that the game didn't get a sequel.
It's okay, I don't understand it either. One of the few games I went out of my way to go for 100% on.
I loved this game as a kid, probably the best Simpsons game they made and the fact they decided to not continue it is baffling. Probably more baffling that they aren't doing a remake or something considering the popularity.
The only thing I didn't really like about it was how everything was timed, some missions like racing Skinner to the school I understood as you were trying to give Lisa her science project she forgot but there were others where it was only telling you to get to a location (no urgency) yet it was still timed.
I just wanted to take my time and appreciate the game more, mess around and try different ways of going about things so hopefully if there ever is a sequel they will look into it. Just felt I was rushing through the story.
It’s been 20 years since one of the first surprisingly good Simpsons game was released.
Yeah this was a good game. If I had to make any minor complaints it would be that the game could've done with more missions and the world being a bit more open, and add some more side stuff to do, other than that it was a fun game. And because of the cartoony colourful graphics it looked better than Vice City.
If there's a sequel or remake they would only need to add the things I said above along with some refinements and better graphics, the rest is pretty much fine as it is.
I'd love a sequel. They could do so much more than they could in the original.
1) Hit and Run
where's the Simpson's Arcade game by Konami?
I haven’t even heard of half of those. Hit and run was great though.
I wouldn't put Tapped Out in the list. It's a crappy mobile game designed around microtransactions.
I can't stand EA, they have sat on that mobile game for years now and done nothing with the Simpsons license. We have gone almost a full generation without a Simpsons game, the first time that has happened since the first ever Simpsons game was released. Literally the only reason why they bought the license to make Simpsons games was to make money off the movie and mobile phone players.
There is plenty of potential to make a great Simpsons game, but EA just can't be bothered. Probably because it won't make them an impossible amount of money. They are a joke of a games company. They lack originality and fun, they have some of the most dull and repetitive games going, games designed around microtransactions, games that copy the competition, games that feel like half hearted cash grabs. They just suck and I don't understand why people subscribe to their crappy subscription service. Every single license they own would be better in the hands of any other company.
