The Simpsons (Nintendo DS)

Product Information

With the help of a mob of children they go through a magical castle while laying waste to any orcs (Moe Syzslak) or ghosts (Otto) in their way. Play alone as one of the characters from the series and use their powers to save the world from a crisis in this Nintendo DS game.

He explains that the Simpsons are just video game characters designed by computer nerds in cubicles to be controlled by other computer nerds in their bedrooms. Similar to the show, the game pokes fun at popular culture, other video games, and EA, its developer. Players of The Simpsons Game are able to control the Simpson family each with their own unique abilities. It all started with Hit and Run, that clever and funny Grand Theft Auto meets Springfield from Vivendi.Maggie has no powers, but Marge can send her through small openings into shafts that her family can't access. It has four trailers, one with "Grand Theft Scratchy" based on Grand Theft Auto, one with "Medal of Homer", a parody of the Medal of Honor games, "Big Super Happy Fun Fun", a parody of Japanese culture and anime, which includes Milhouse with two tubes coming out of the sides from his head (a reference to Katamari Damacy), and "Neverquest" a parody of Everquest, Legend of Zelda, and Lord of the Rings. 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.

There, they discover Will Wright, who is destroying copies of an old 8-bit The Simpsons game and its characters. 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. Her ability is to enter areas that other characters cannot access, and she only has one attack (using her pacifier).

Maggie can only be used in specific areas of the game, and turns into a friendly NPC connected to Marge out of those areas. Unique enemies are featured in all episodes with the exception of the final level, in which the enemies are "recycled" with different colors and a halo over their head.
