This weekend I decided to review The Simpsons Arcade app. A fun, old-school button masher that works exceedingly well with the touch screen. Controls are much more responsive than most apps I’ve played before and the game provides a lot of humor and action. The best thing about the game though are the graphics. They are often stunning, bright and colorful. Simpsons fans who remember the old arcade game will love this. It’s a mostly faithful rendition of that arcade classic. My only complaint is that you can only play as Homer (but other Simpsons family members do pop up to lend a hand), while the arcade version, all the main characters were playable.

Mmmmmmmmmmmm, doughnuts !

The app was made available by Apple around Christmas and is in the itunes app store for purchase at 4.99, a bit steep, but well worth the price. What apps have you been playing lately ? Anything out there you’d like me to review ? Shoot me a comment below.

App Grade: B+
