The Simpsons: Bart vs the World
===============================
Oh dear. Have Virgin decided to deliberately release crap
games this year or is it a coincidence. First we had
McDonaldland, then came Goal! and now we've got this - Bart
vs the World. OK, so admittedly they have released some good
games like Canon Fodder, but I'm sure that these crap games
aren't doing too much for their sales. Still, Richard
Branstone's got enough money to release a game called "Fly
fishing by J.R. Harley". Ha ha ha. I'm incredibly funny but
I just can't help it, you see.
I suppose you've already guessed what I think of this game.
Yep - it's not too good. Not too good at all. But,
nevertheless, I'll take you through it. Plot, graphics,
sound and gameplay.....
The plot is weird. Basically, you just have to collect all
these object things to prevent Bart and his family from
being wiped off of the earth. I know - if you don't collect
them, we won't see the hateful little cartoon character as
he'll be whisked off to another planet. Wishful thinking, I
know. After being put off by the title screen, you go on to
the first level, screen, act or whatever they call it
nowadays. It's China and there are several options. You have
three in-games to play accessible by their signs and there's
also a darkened sign which can't be selected. After playing
the three games, you can then go on and play the fourth game
because the darkened sign is now lightened and when its
lightened you can play the fourth game. Brill. Oh yeah, and
there's also an exit sign, too. This button is my favourite
one.
After completing all four games in China you can then fight
the obligatory end-of-level-baddie-nasty-person-thing. And
after doing this, you go onto the next level.
The game is very frustrating because every time you die you
have to do either a tile sliding game and a card memory game
which you have only about two turns to match all the pairs
up.
I don't really want to talk about this game any more. It's
really very depressing. The screen flickers horribly, the
graphics are colourful in more ways than one and if you were
flying a Boeing 747 using the same joystick response
technique as this one, British Airways would go bankrupt.
The sound is also very bad. Very bad indeed. Every single
game in the PD market is better than this one, and they
don't cost £25.99. Go and find something else to do, Bart -
you're better at acting on the TV.
