which will use microtransactions as shortcuts to speed up game progress

So it's just going to be farm/shop/club simulator with occasional Simpson references in?

I remember my Uncle having this game on his Game-Cube. I got to go on it when I went to his house. I wanted a Game-Cube. Found out you could get it for Xbox as well, so all was good. Great game, a bit like Crazy Taxi but with a Simpsons twist, of course.

It's a shame they hired EA to do it. I reckon an indie developer could probably do a much better job for a much lower price. :C

I spent hours in that game just fucking around, finding stunts and crashing into things

Thank Jebus Christ that they added the 'Sunday Drive' option. Otherwise the game wouldn't have been as awesome.

It should be based on those messed up "Bart the General" animations. The goal would be to mess with Homer by doing things like tossing a brick into his mouth, kidnap Dr. House while he's talking to Homer, and buy an F1 car while trying to avoid being killed by the dude with the Toucan Sam beak for a nose.

Technically not an iOS game. That was just a port to iOS.
