In a world full of adventures and oddities, the story of The Simpsons Game begins with Homer Simpson, the famous father known for his love of food. One day, Homer falls asleep and dreams of a world made entirely of chocolate, where he chases a giant white chocolate bunny, devouring every delicious treat in his path.

Homer wakes up from his sweet dream to find himself on his usual couch, wishing that world was real. Meanwhile, a new video game arrives at the Springfield game store—Grand Theft Scratchy, known for its excessive violence, and clearly a parody of the well-known GTA. Bart Simpson manages to get a copy of it, but his mother Marge immediately confiscates it due to its inappropriate content. While wandering the streets, a game manual titled The Simpsons falls from the sky in front of Bart. He discovers that each member of his family has superpowers. Bart shares his discovery with his father Homer and sister Lisa, who then informs their mother Marge. Each family member begins to test their new abilities, leading them into exciting adventures.

Bart and Homer use their powers to stop a museum heist led by Principal Skinner and to win an eating contest organized by Duff Beer. Lisa uses her powers to stop a tree-cutting project, while Marge leads a campaign to convince Mayor Quimby to ban the sale of the violent game Grand Theft Scratchy. However, the story takes a twist when the aliens Kang and Kodos decide to invade Earth, spreading chaos across Springfield. Bart and Lisa turn to Professor Frink for help. They rescue him from the digital game world and receive from him a guide containing upgrades and secret codes. Thanks to this information, the Simpson family is able to face new challenges full of comedy, as they embark on a journey against familiar characters and enemies inspired by video game worlds, making every level full of surprises and unexpected twists.

The Simpsons Game on PSP features an innovative gameplay style that blends humor and fun with a focus on each Simpson family member’s unique abilities. The game is divided into sixteen levels called episodes. In each level, you control two family members, except for the tutorial level “Land of Chocolate,” where Homer is the only playable character. The game highlights each character’s powers in a unique way, adding variety and excitement to the gameplay. For example, Homer Simpson can turn into Homer Ball after eating certain foods, allowing him to roll and smash through obstacles. He can also transform into Gelatin Homer to throw jelly bombs, into Chili Pepper Homer to launch fire bombs, and into Balloon Homer by inhaling helium to fly.

Bart, with his rebellious personality, transforms into Bartman, giving him the ability to use ropes for gliding, climbing walls, flying long distances, and performing acrobatics. He can also use his slingshot to attack enemies and hit distant targets. His sister Lisa uses the Hand of Buddha power to move large objects, strike enemies, and release electric shocks. Finally, Marge can lead crowds using a megaphone, allowing her to break obstacles, build structures, attack enemies, and repair property.

The 2007 The Simpsons Game represents a significant improvement compared to previous titles based on the popular show. While earlier games focused on simulating life in Springfield or offering racing experiences, this game brought a completely original story written by the show’s actual writers, adding depth and alignment with the series’ spirit. Unlike The Simpsons Hit & Run and The Simpsons Road Rage, which were heavily inspired by games like Grand Theft Auto and Crazy Taxi, this game focused on platforming and adventure-based gameplay, making it more diverse in design and style. One of the most notable updates in this game is the introduction of superpowers for each family member, adding a fresh twist and offering unique gameplay for every character, unlike previous games that featured more traditional missions. As for graphics, the game delivered noticeable visual improvements using a 3D style that closely resembled the original TV show, making the characters and world look like a moving episode of the series itself. Overall, The Simpsons Game was a bold step toward offering a more immersive experience that stayed true to the show’s spirit while enhancing the gameplay, making it one of the most memorable titles to carry the name of the iconic yellow family.
