The Simpsons Game - Boxed - PS3

The Simpsons is essentially a side-scrolling beat-em-up featuring characters from the television series The Simpsons. The player can choose to play as one of four Simpson characters. Homer, who punches and kicks; Marge, who swings her vacuum cleaner; Bart, who swings his skateboard; and Lisa, who uses a skipping rope as a whip. Other weapons such as hammers and bowling balls are also available. The game's levels are Downtown Springfield, Krustyland, Springfield Discount Cemetery, Moe's Tavern, Springfield Gorge, Dreamland, the Channel 6 studio and the power plant. Each level ends with a boss fight, whose speed and strength increase after it has taken a certain amount of damage. The bosses are the wrestler Professor Werner von Brawn, a hot-air balloon shaped like Krusty the Clown, two bouncers, a drunk in Moe's Tavern, a henchman in a bear costume, an imaginary giant bowling ball, and a martial-arts sensei dressed like a kabuki actor. Between levels, the player can compete against the other characters in two mini-games, trying to be the first to complete a task (inflating a balloon and waking up their own character).
