Game News - The Simpsons Game Coming From EA This Autumn

   There were previously talks of a Simpsons game for the Nintendo Wii, but now Electronic Arts sends word that the project in question is actually target at way more than one single platform (as expected of them, after all). Several years after The Simpsons: Hit & Run left us with a rather good impression, the TV animation's whacky characters will return once more on everyone's favorite platform (bar the PC) this autumn, thanks to Electronic Arts' partnership with Gracie Films and Twentieth Century Fox.

   They don't have a final title for it yet - simply calling it The Simpsons Game - but EA did already announce the platforms on which they plan to release it: PlayStation 3, PlayStation 2, PSP, Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii and Nintendo DS. Under development by EA's Redwood Shores Studio, this upcoming Simpsons action-comedy game promises to feature a hilarious, sprawling, and mind-busting storyline, and naturally the full cast of voice actors from the TV show who will reprise their roles for the game.

   The devs' plans for the game are nothing short of ambitious, accodring to their own claims:
"Our goal in developing The Simpsons Game is to create the most original game ever, which is a lofty goal and only possible given the close collaboration with 'The Simpsons' creative team," said Scot Amos, Executive Producer of the project. "We're also especially proud of the game's warm visual feel, which captures - for the first time ever in a game - the look of the TV show." Added Amos, "As Comic Book Guy says, 'Best. Simpsons Game. Ever!'"    In The Simpsons Game, Homer, Marge, Bart, and Lisa will use exciting, all-new powers to save the world from rising chaos. To help them, gamers must journey through all of Springfield (as well as vast worlds beyond), vanquish an amazing array of villains, and fight their way through parodies of multiple popular games. Oh-oh... Place your bets on the "victims".
