As a fan of The Simpsons, I just started downloading as soon as I saw the Simpsons on the Top New Free game chart on the play store, which is developed by Electronic Arts. I was wonder what game could it be. I thought it would be simple 2D game which you can play as one of the Simpsons family, just solving puzzles or arcade games. However, The Simpsons: Tapped Out is really similar to the FarmVille on Facebook. Basically you get to build the Springfield of their own. All contents of the game is based on the story of The Simpsons, also the best thing is voice of every character. They used the same voice for every character and it gives The Simpsons maniacs more fun. 

As you play, you will be given lots quests, which is mostly about building stuff or ordering characters to do things. As the story goes on, you will obtain more and more characters from The Simpsons such as Ned Flanders, Apu, Skinner and so on (Simply most of the characters of The Simpsons). This game is like owning a Special Collection for The Simpsons which makes people get addicted. Whenever users build houses and order characters to do something, they have to wait certain amount of time based on quests or buildings. Quests start from 30s jobs to 24hrs of job for each character, also construction time for the buildings are different for each construction too. As users go deeper and deeper, they have to wait longer and longer. However if you use donuts you can shorten the time and end the quest and building time. But you have to be careful, since donuts are hard to get, and after you used them all you might want to purchase them which makes this game freemium. It is free but it makes you want to pay more and more, on the other hand, it is good for killing time, you can play 5 minutes per day and someday your town would be much bigger and similar to real Springfield.

We gave 4.5 out of 5 for Graphics, it is not 3D game. Animation looks so neat and very detailed. It is almost like watching The Simpsons on your phone. Also, the voice acting makes the game more enjoyable. They used every character’s authentic voices.

We gave 4.0 for Control. Since it is a simple game, you don’t need any control skills. However sometimes you might tap “Use donut” button by mistake. Maybe my thumb is too big or not. But still you can cancel it if you are fast enough.

For the Easiness, definitely 5 out of 5. It sure is easy, and tutorials are really helpful.

We gave 3.5 for the size. App itself is about 49.41mb however, after updating it is about 200mb total, kind of big for simple 2D game. 

Please comment below for more suggestions and questions. It would help us a lot.
