so far as i have seen in preview versions of this game the graphics look detailed dosn't look to be as horrible as one of those tony hawk clones but i really can't say much about it because i haven't played it yet.

Isnt Tony Hawk Pro Skater, but its still good!

Ive played this new release by Electronic Arts on my PAL version which came out a few weeks ago, and ive gotta say that its pretty neat.

Im an avid fan of The Simpsons and I was really surprised when I heard that "The Simpsons Skateboarding", was released for the PS2.

Well, you sure get to play all the Simpson charachters, ranging from Bart Simpson, Lisa, Marge, Krusty, Homer and a whole lot more. Each charachter or skater has his/her own unique style, speed, and tricks.

Now about the tracks. Similar to the Tony Hawk Pro Skater series, you have to unlock certain tracks aswell as as skateboards etc. However, there are a variety of tracks available to you even if you just want to have some fun!
These include the Simpsons back yard, the sreets of Springfield, The chemical plant and many more.

The sound effects are great aswell. Cars honking in the background, Bart shouting "Oh Curumba", when he falls off his skateboard and lots more!

The controls are great aswell. Skate Boarders are easy to control and menuever. Well you just have to practice a bit and then volla!

About the graphics now. I frankly thought that the Graphics somertimes tend to get a bit blocky. It sometimes feels that youre playing this game on a Playstation, rather than a Playstation2. Well, this really doesnt take the charm of the game away though.

Overall, besides the small graphical errors and glitches, this game is perfect and really really fun to play!!

Simpson Games Really Are Not That Good

I am an avid Simpson fan but you really have to come to the truth that Simpson game are really not that good. The graphics aren't that good, they really could be better, and the story line could use a little more effert into it. If they work on the story line like the show that game would be great. Let's face it Simpson Road Rage wasn't really good and Simpson Wrestling was horrible but as a fan i would still buy the game anyway.

It's pretty fun.

I've never played any of the Tony Hawk games because I could care less about SkateBoarding or that genre of games. The only reason I picked it up was because it was a Simpson's title, and I'm not disappointed. Once you get used to the controls, which for all I know are standard in such games, the game's pretty fun.

You start out the game with the basic four characters (Homer, Marge, Bart, and Lisa), and one environment. There are a few other characters to unlock, and around five more environments to unlock by completing levels and such.

What can I say? The game is solid. Most of the bad reviews I've heard are basing it on previews that they've READ (thus having never played the game), or basing it on Simpson's Wrestling (again, never having played the game). Simpson's Wrestling sucked, yes. Get over it. It was a different team working on the game - it implies nothing about the quality of this game.

Overall - if you like the Simpsons and video games in general, it's a good buy. I don't know how it stacks up against other skateboarding games, but by itself this game is worth buying.

Don't be fooled into believing reviews of people who've never played the game, or judging this game based on Simpon's Wrestling. At leaset rent it and see for yourself.

this game is fun

"worst game ever" comic book guy after playing this game

I am a huge simpsons fan. But to be honest this game is really terrible. I hate the animation and the graphics are horrible. They should of used cell shading so the graphics resembled the cartoon. I played this game for about 5 minutes and i had heard the same phrase coming from Homer's mouth over and over. After five minutes of playing this game I had to quit because i couldn't handle it. They should of directly copied the control scheme from tony hawk pro skater. Fox and EA need to realize the just putting the Simpsons characters in a game doesn't mean that it is a good game, they need to make gameplay a whole lot better.

STOP MAKING SIMPSONS GAMES!!!

Yes,I like watching the simpsons on tv,no I do not like playing simpsons video games cause they're horrible!

This has been going on since 8bit nintendo,and developers still can't make a decent simpsons game.If they really wanted to make a great simpsons video game,then they should release the original simpsons arcade game(the one you had to pop quarters into) on a console.I don't know why that hasn't been done yet,cause THAT was a simpsons game I had a blast playing esp. when 4 people could play at the same time!

As for simpsons skateboarding,a big thumbs down!!

The simpsons is one of the weirdest shows. they just got even worst. This game is also way too hard. The simpsons should be taken off the air so should all the other adult programs. Now the charecters sware even more, they get into more trouble unpurpis, and they just got evenb more violent.

Only buy it if you are a devoted fan!

Simpsons Skateboarding is like the Tony H. Skating games. They start out fun but become dull after a few times. Though if you try and not get cheats, you might go crazy. The characters can be slow and clumsy. My advice id to only rent this game. If you really like it, by it then.
