I know a lot of you are wondering about The Simpsons Game. When is it coming out? How much information have they released. Well I plan to explain all that. Plus I plan to release a podcast episode talking about all this with a friend of mine that can explain everything better than I can. So lets start off with the basics.
Release date:
The Simpsons Game will be released on October 30, 2007 for Xbox 360, Playstation 2, Wii, PSP, and Playstation 3. The Nintendo DS version will be released on November 13, 2007. The game features a Single-player mode along with a Co-operative mode. It is developed by Electronic Arts(EA) and is rated T(ages 13 and up).
Gameplay:
The game has sixteen levels where you can play as Homer, Bart, Lisa, Marge(and for brief moments, Maggie). All sixteen levels will be familiar places from Springfield, USA.
Other details:
The game was officially announced at The Simpsons 400th episode party at 20th Century Fox. The game features cel-shaded graphics(a type of rendering to make computer graphics look hand-drawn) instead of solid 3D used in the previous three games. The Nintendo DS version will also come with a special game title Pet Homer(a parody of Nintendogs). You can visit the official site for the game at http://www.ea.com/mob/
Thats all the news that has been released so far. I will update as more news comes out. Feel free to e-mail at thesimpsonspodcast@sbcglobal.net
