[quote name='Flak']Is the Simpsons Game really that funny? X-Play promises it's on par with older episodes when they used to be sharper, clever and still actually funny. I wouldn't even care about boring and generic gameplay if it's like watching a classic episode.[/QUOTE]
I just finished it and it's funny. The gameplay is generic but manages to stay relatively fresh throughout the six or so hours it'll take to get through it. Just walking around town between missions can be fun because you'll run into every character from the show and they all have one or two funny one-liners. I also liked how the game played homage to many different games like Gauntlet, DDR, GTA, and pretty much everything in between. It's a great weekend rental.
