the simpsons DS game looked pretty ropey when I last saw some screens of it, but Cubed3 gives it a not bad 7/10 in their comprehensive review.

"The Simpsons Game turns out to be rather a simple affair and far too short, seemingly being aimed at the younger market. Veteran gamers should be able to breeze through the main adventure in around four hours or so. That is not to say the difficulty is terribly low, since gamers will find that death sneaks up on them very frequently due to some tough level design. It is just that the infinite lives aspect that means progression is much too easy on the whole. But it does really help to keep frustration levels down and make The Simpsons more attractive to that wider demographic that EA was aiming at in order to achieve high global sales."

I didn't have the highest hopes for this, and by all accounts while it is a cut above the usual half-baked Simpsons gaming efforts, it still doesn't exactly knock your socks off. Oh well.
