Electronic Arts reveals more about the Simpsons game

Actually, just a little bit more of the game, than what was revealed in Electronic Arts‘ rocking announcement covered yesterday. In fact according to Kotaku’s Brian Crecente, who attended the Electronic Arts night gathering, the little previews and information that was spilled at the event sounds like this Simpsons title might just be the type of game we’ve been expecting from the franchise.

Electronic Arts, avid fans of the series, had thought about bringing the series back into a game for years.

Coupled with an original story – driven by the writers behind the popular cartoon series – around 8,000 lines of dialogue and 60 minutes worth of full motion video, the game is set to give gamers a more comical look at the game industry, while presenting the best of gameplay fans could expect of a Simpsons game.

The premise of the game, where the entire Simpsons family suddenly finds themselves inside video games, leaves Homer, Marge, Lisa and Bart into a series of different games and situations, poking satirical fun at the game genres and issues the world game community sees today.

The game will be sporting “drop in, drop out” cooperative play, although it is pretty certain that the game will not sport that feature with online aspects than the proposed hotseat aspect. The original cast of the show have joined in to do the voice work, reassuring you get the authentic atmosphere and comedy the series brought to your living room.

Crecente gives a few verbal snippets of what you can expect from the Simpsons game, as demonstrated through the early levels shown at the event. We wouldn’t want to spoil the mood and get it all here, so we’ll lead you to that particular coverage via the “Read” link below.
