The Simpsons Game is really a crazy ride. Though it features standard platformer gameplay along with a very cranky camera, it ups the entertainment factor by poking fun at just about everything out there. PS2 games such as Katamari Damacy, Grand Theft Auto (especially)are parodied in the game. The famous green diamond cursor from the Sims is also thrown in. References to Pokemon , Batman and Fantastic Four (Bart says 'Flame on' when its hes called on')are also incorporated. The Mario green pipes, and the classic sound as Mario jumps into the pipe are in. Skybucks *cough* (a certain coffee chain) also appears... in the heavens. Medal of Homer, Neverquest, Grand Theft Scratchy are inserted as levels. Heck, even the PS4 and X-box 720 are cheekily proposed in the game.
