To be forthcoming, I'm a huge Simpsons fan. I have been since the very first episode. I still watch it every week. But by far my absolute favorite episodes are the "Treehouse Of Horrors". As a horror movie fanatic, how could I not enjoy these EC-Comic-esque spins on both classics and cult-classics? So I have to tell you that I was big-time excited about the release of a Game Boy Color cartridge based entirely on the these annual Halloween specials. Which is probably why it bothers me so much that the game just really isn't that good.

Obviously the one thing that I feel that THQ got right was coming up with a concept for a game based on the Treehouse Of Horror. It's also quite commendable that each level plays differently and is based on a different horror motif. But now let's look at everything they got wrong. First of all, on the platforming levels the B-button jumps and the A-button shoots. Do you all know how wrong that is? It's terrible. Likewise, the hit-detection and reaction time to button presses leave much to be desired. The worst offender in this game is its music though, which is just completely piercing.
I really can't recommend this game to anybody, no matter how hardcore a fan. Although I can never seem to get rid of it personally. It's almost as if I keep waiting for the cart to magically just get better than it actually is.

Sadly I have found all of the 8- and 16-bit Simpsons games to match your description. (With exception given to the awesome arcade game, of course!) Seems every older Simpsons game had character, decent graphics for a licensed title and even some neat ideas, all consistently buried under very subpar and frustrating play control. Until Road Rage and Hit and Run, I didn't enjoy any of them, though I sure tried. :p

It's such a shame there are so few Simpsons games actually work playing.
Oh well. I haven't yet commented on it, but awesome feature, noiseredux! I sort of just wandered away from this website for a while, but you've managed to pull me back with this series. Awesome stuff, chief!
