This isn't the worst Simpsons game, but it is pretty bad

The Good
The only real thing that I liked about this game was that they actually got all the voice actors from the show. Everyone sounds as they should.

The Bad
The main thing I didn't like was the gameplay itself. It's too unbalanced. I mean, it's only natural that some characters would be better than others. But in this game, there's almost no balance. This is especially true with Ned Flanders, who has one more life than any other character. The other thing is the graphics. They aren't as bad as some other games, but there's much room for improvement. The characters look somewhat like Lego sculptures and the rings themselves look like a five year old's drawings.

The Bottom Line
If you're a die-hard Simpsons fan, then you might like this game. However, I strongly advise anyone else to avoid it.

A Simpsons Playstation game at last!

The Good
Well first of all, it's the first Playstation game to feature The Simpsons, and it mixes humor and wrestling in a unique way, also it's got the voice cast from the cartoon series, that should please fans.

The Bad
The game itself is rather limited, it seems as if the game was rushed, the graphics are a bit too dull and there are a lack of characters, game modes, and even secret modes to extend the longtivity of the game, which is rather dissapointing since Simpsons fans have been waiting for a Playstation game to feature the Simpsons for a long time

The Bottom Line
If you are a Simpsons fan, you'll like this, but other gamers might not like this

It isn't great, but there's worse.

The Good
The game has a very addicting soundtrack, especially with the Krustylu Studios level theme.

The entire cast is here to voice the cast, bringing about lines that capture the true spirit of The Simpsons

The Bad
The graphics are kinda meh, though this was probably intentional to replicate the animation in The Simpsons while having to deal with graphical limitations on the PlayStation.

In spite of being a wrestling game, the sport barely utilized in the gameplay.

Sometimes, the characters could clip through one another, but thankfully, this isn't game breaking and any player could complete a level with ease,.

The Bottom Line
This game is more enjoyable to die-hard Simpsons fans, mainly for the music and the humor. Casual gamers could enjoy the game as well. As opposed to The Simpsons: Skateboarding, it's not frustrating to gamers of any class.
