The Simpsons arcade has Homer Simpson playing the lead in his adventure in Springfield to find doughnuts. On this journey, he encounters various hurdles trying to evade him to reach his goal.

The game is pretty simplified. There is a smooth joystick to move Homer and some fighting moves to get over the enemies. The game proceeds with voice-over by real Simpson characters.

There are small surprises that keep coming in between like Lisa, Bart supporting Homer. Bring life in Homer by swiping the screen to and fro.

What’s good is the variety of levels and the surprises that come over time as you play. What is not that likeable is a bit of redundancy that is captured in the first few levels. Lack of new fighting tactics and no provision to resume the game from the same point you closed it, is bit disturbing.

I would rate it average since a Simpson fan can expect more from the hugely successful comedy series. The Arcade will cost you $4.99 and the game is by Electronic Arts.
