The Simpsons: Bart vs. the Space Mutants
Reviewed by Roger Sheng
Most video games for The Simpsons are dumb and this is no exception. I
like the show, but Fox Interactive should of worked harder on this game.
Here's the story:
Bart finds out aliens are landing on Springfield. He knows that the aliens
are disguised as humans. Bart uses his shades to tell aliens from humans.
The aliens are building a machine powered by purple objects to take over
the world. Bart has to collect purple objects so the space mutant's plans
will fail. After that, the aliens used hats, than balloons, than exit signs
and finally nuclear rods. The ending is the world's worst.
Graphics 2 out of 10
No, I'm not comparing this game to the Nintendo 64. The graphics are very
awful. Bart looks nothing like Bart. Sometimes people, including Lisa, have
only a dot as a eyeball. Also, the environments are stupid. I never ever in
my life saw aliens that shoot bombs out of there mouths, or seen clowns
that if touched, Bart losses blood. The graphics are lame.
Music and Sound 1 out of 100
In the entire game, there are only 2 songs. One is the main theme and the
other is some weird song. The songs are low quality and stupid. The sound
effects also stink. There are probably only 5 different sound affects.
There are very few voice sounds also. They are low quality. All of them
are by Bart. You only here, "Eat my shorts," and "cool, man."
Game Challenge 5 out of 10
This game is sometimes hard. Sometimes it's the easy as counting to 5.
When you meet the main villain of a certain level, you'll need to experiment
to see how to kill them. The first one and the forth ones are exceptions.
In the first one you'll just have to press "B" to throw balls. In the forth
one, you just jump onto the head. As for the levels, it self, they are both
easy and hard too. If you touch anything, Bart loses life. This includes
clowns, rocks, bombs, rolling cans and aliens. I think the game offers
you to much lives.
Game Play-Fun 1 out of 10
Fun? What fun? Most of the game is boring. The contradictions are here:
1. In level 4, you can shoot monkeys.
2. The way you kill Sideshow Bob in level 3 is a bit funny.
3. In level 2, you'll have to kill alien Principal Skinner three times.
That's it. It's very boring.
Frustration
Level 3:
You are in some pipe place. You jump and die. Next life you jump and die.
Next life you jump and die. Next life you jump and die. Next life you jump and die.
Next life you jump and die. Next life you jump and die. Next life you jump and die.
Next life you jump and die. Next life you jump and die. Next life you jump and die.
Level 4:
You are in the tar place. You jump and die. Next life you jump and die.
Next Life you jump and die. Next life you jump and die. Next life you jump and die.
Next life you jump and die. Next life you jump and die. Next life you jump and die.
Next life you jump and die. Next life you jump and die. Next life you jump and die.
Level 5:
Where the heck is the final nuclear rod? I searched everywhere.
Ending:
I played this dumb game just for this?
Replayability 2 out of 10
There is actually no reason to play this game again. Nevertheless, for some
weird reason I do. Maybe I just wanna kill monkeys.
Game Value 0.1 out of 10
I don't know how much the game cost for my mom, but it's the world's
dumbest Simpsons related video game. The cover of the box makes the game
look very cool. It has a very big Bart holding a spray can. It also shows
Homer being dragged by a UFO. You also see a lot of stuff on the box. Still
the game itself should never of existed.
Plot 1 out of 5
I already explained the story. It's dumb. You play the whole game just to see
Bart's face on Mt. Rushmore. I think they should have used a similer plot
to the arcade game.
Stuff 3 out of 4
You get a few weapons & stuff. I'll explain them.
The wrench- you use it so a fire hydrant would shoot water. That's all.
The key- you don't really need this. You only go to another location in the level.
The spray can- you use it to change the color of some stuff.
There are other stuff, but I don't think I should explain each one.
Overall 1 out of 10
I think this game is awful.
