MMM…CLASSIC ARCADE GAME ACTION! Get ready for doughnut-chasing daredeviltry on iPhone® and iPod touch®. Join Homer on a hilarious chase through Springfield in drooling pursuit of frosted fried dough. Clueless and hungry, he has no idea that his desired doughnut is the key to a devious scheme hatched by sinister Springfield forces… ________________________________________ “DOUGHNUTS. IS THERE ANYTHING THEY CAN’T DO?” Play as Homer to help him avoid catastrophe and achieve his doughnut-driven destiny. Use touchscreen controls to punch, grab and flip, kick, butt slam, jump, pick up and throw objects, belly flop, and dodge enemies. And Homer’s not alone! WOOHOO! REAL VOICES & SOUNDS Authentic sound effects and famous character voices by the real, live actors from “The Simpsons” give the gameplay a true Springfield accent. And if the combined talents of artists, writers and actors doesn’t do it for you… then who needs you, get bent! Or, simply add your own personal touch. OUR FAVORITE FAMILY FRENZY Earn and activate "Family Frenzy" power-ups to summon help from Marge, Maggie, Lisa and Bart, who can come to Homer’s rescue. He’s gonna need it! A MULTI-LEVEL GLAZE OF GLORY A hungry fat guy’s work is never done. Help Homer race through 25+ levels in 6 different environments including Krusty Land, Channel 6, and Downtown Springfield, and run into favorite characters like Krusty, Bumblebee Man, Chief Wiggum, Squeaky Voiced Teen and The Rich Texan before the sinister plan is exposed… or EATEN. All this and fancy-named doohickeys too! MINI-GAMES ADD A TOUCH MORE DELICIOUSNESS Use touch and accelerometer controls to “Slap Homer” back to life, indulge in “Doughnut Dreams,” or engage in a hilarious “Inflato-Head” balloon blowing up contest. Can all this be real? Of course not, jerk, it’s a video game played on a cell phone. But it’s pretty close!

Who doesn't love The Simpsons?  By: DISGRUNTLED G.O.A.T - Dec 21, 2009 Version: 1.0.0 I just saw on Cnet that this game was coming out soon, went to itunes, and low and behold it just came out today! I have played though it some, and I have to say it's a great trip down memory lane. The animations are spot on to the show, as well are the voices. I've been watching The Simpsons since the beginning, and i did my best not to be a biased reviewer. Strickly from a gaming standpoint, the controls are EXCELLENT! Often times in a game like this on the itouch, the control scheme can be frustrating, but here they have a nice feel to them. I just finished the first level, and the first boss fight with was pretty cool, and a bit challenging I might add. I look forward to playing this game over and over again, and if you're a Simposons fan, I suggest you do the same.
Awesome  By: phate11 - 21-Dec-2009 Version: 1.0.0 The new #1 game for my iPhone. This game is simply awesome, I've been waiting to play the Simpsons Arcade game for a really long time. While this isn't the exact same game from years ago, it is all brand new with updated graphics. The controls work well and I don't even argue with the choice made by the developers to only have the choice of being Homer (he's all I wanted to be anyway!). The humor is here and there's even a continue game feature when you exit the app. The only thing I cant see is a pause feature... Maybe in a future update? If you're a fan of the Simpsons though, you owe it to yourself to buy this at full price. Release this game on Xbox Live!!!
Very Good  By: Vaneson - Dec 24, 2009 Version: 1.0.0 This beat-em-up arcade style game was very good! The levels are a bit short as they are divided into subsections, some with bosses. But overall the game plays very well on my device ( 3g ). Controls are simple and easy to use and graphics are good. Of course there is better games in this genre available, but for Simpsons fans this is a must have!! I purchased at launch for $4.99 and thought it's worth it, however if it drops in price it will a great buy. Happy Gaming ..::vaneson::..
Aye Carumba!!  By: plnetsol - Dec 22, 2009 Version: 1.0.0 Awesome game! Great graphics, better than the original. I would love to play as other characters but I don't think it would fit the storyline as Homer's chasing a doughnut. That being said I would love a pause button or being able to play where you leave off if you leave the game. But everything else is great. No lag on my 3gs. Very fun gameplay. A must buy for any true Simpsons fan. I can't put this game down!! I just need some advice... How do you defeat Mr. Burns!? Anyone please Update: I defeated Mr. Burns! Not too hard after you figure it out. Also found out how to pause the game after browsing help. It's a simple two finger swipe down. Hope that helps everyone.
Very fun. I love it  By: Matt Boom - Dec 21, 2009 Version: 1.0.0 I've just played through most of the first level and it's a lot of fun. They updated the old Simpsons Arcade with a lot of neat iphone features.Since I haven't played all the way through yet, I'm not sure if other characters are playable, but I hope the are at some point. Some other things that could be improved are:It has some voices from the show but it could use more actual voices and less text reading. I'd like to see support for more than one person being able to save their game. I'd like to be able to save the game in the middle of a level instead of having to start each level over. I'd like to see a high score leaderboard. Add support for multiple-player online. I really reccomend this game to all fans of The Simpsons and side-scrolling fighters.
Good stupid fun.  By: JindoFox - Dec 21, 2009 Version: 1.0.0 Twenty years ago, then-First Lady Barbara Bush called The Simpsons "the stupidest thing I have ever seen," which describes this game pretty well. It's a lot like the old Konami arcade game (run to the right and whack the bad guys, just like Golden Axe, Double Dragon, Bad Dudes, etc) with tons of in-jokes and cameo appearances from the huge cast. It's actually BETTER than the old game because of the crisp graphics. So you're either a Simpsons/beatemup fan or you're not, plan your purchase accordingly but I think this is worthwhile (but stupid) fun.
Just Like the Original!!  By: hip pie - Dec 24, 2009 Version: 1.0.0 Now, I usually don`t write reviews, but this app deserves it. Remember that Simpsons arcade game you used to play at the local pizzeria? Here you have with just some minor changes. You may have notice I gave this app 4 out of 5 stars. This is because unlike the original arcade game (which by the way is my favorite arcade game) you can only play as Homer. I believe that multiplayer through bluetooth should be added. But if you're deciding wether or not to buy this, get it.
Solid Game  By: Mr. James Duffy - Dec 24, 2009 Version: 1.0.0 The Simpsons Arcade is a solid beat-em-up game reminiscent of the original 4-player arcade game. The graphics are crisp and the tone of the game is true to the franchise. Play control is very good, although I felt the joystick control needed to be slightly bigger. The difficulty of the game is not very high--one can complete it an hour after purchase--but that is par for the course for this type of platform game. I would like to see more levels, other playable characters and multi-player for free in figure updates as the Simpsons and EA brand carries such a high premium ($4.99 at launch). As it stands, version 1.0 is solid and a delightful treat for Simpsons fans.
Pretty cool!  By: allie jean the great - Dec 23, 2009 Version: 1.0.0 Although, yes, I initially believed this was the beloved 90's Chuck E. Cheese version, I'm more or less a lifelong "Simpsons" fan so I got it anyway. It's pretty remonicent of the classic arcade game though, with the beating up of the goons and all. The controls are nice and basic and the power-ups are cool as well. However, I hope an update will keep the app from crashing (which it did the first time I ever opened it up) and the controls from being jammed (but that was only once) in the future. Other than that, a fun game!
Amazing  By: Sfbubu - Dec 22, 2009 Version: 1.0.0 Controls are perfect , and the game is really cool
Awesome  By: Alpharhinoblah - Dec 21, 2009 Version: 1.0.0 Best arcade game ever!!!
Amazing  By: Love maker - Dec 21, 2009 Version: 1.0.0 Great fun the best app
Best game on my phone  By: Iapdude - Dec 21, 2009 Version: 1.0.0 It is about time! Been waiting days for this to pop up.
Awesome  By: ZsundanceN - Dec 21, 2009 Version: 1.0.0 This game is unique fun and lasts awile. One of the few good games in the app store.
Good Times  By: Skippydip - Dec 21, 2009 Version: 1.0.0 If you don't like this game it's probably because your to young and you have never been to an arcade. For lifetime fans of the Simpsons now on year 20 this game is great. It's a return to good times when saving your quarters meant something.
My new favorite  By: EricKevitz - Dec 21, 2009 Version: 1.0.0 Destined to be the number one app, this game is awesome and I love the Simpsons!
1st review!  By: YStudyListen2Music - Dec 21, 2009 Version: 1.0.0 Amazing!
