Then longtime comic foils Kodos and Kang show up to start blowing up the town, rehashing sequences from a variety of Treehouse of Horror episodes. She sets off on a crusade to stop video game violence. At the same time, a game called Grand Theft Scratchy has just been released in stores and Bart wants a copy, much to Marge's chagrin. He learns that this game gives him and his family members special powers then promptly sets off to cause as much violence as possible. One day, Bart happens upon a manual for a game called The Simpsons Game, which has floated down from out of the sky. The premise for The Simpsons Game is appropriately meta, given the circumstances. The Simpsons take on the game industry at large in The Simpsons Game. The game is as much about mocking the various conventions of the game business as a whole as it is about being Simpsons fan service, which makes for a very weird and often hilarious experience so much so that you almost forget the gameplay itself is still pretty uninteresting. Yet, at the same time, this is a game that knows what it is and takes every opportunity imaginable to riff on that very fact. On the one hand, it's the sort of rote, generally uninteresting action platformer that dozens of high-profile licenses have cribbed for nefarious game-making purposes over the years. The Simpsons Game is a very strange animal.
