Title: Nice Graphics, Sloppy Play
Review: The "Simpsons Cartoon Studio" by Fox Interactive marks the first time the Simpsons appeared on a CD-ROM based program for computers everywhere. When I first heard of it, I thought it was great that everyone's favorite dysfunctional family were coming to PCs everywhere, however when I purchased the finished product, I was disenchanted.The game, which should appeal more to children between the ages of 6-14, allows the user to create cartoon scenarios using various characters, settings, and props. Allowing the user to create their very own episode might sound like a great idea, however, it is not. The instructions weren't too helpful, and about the only cool thing about this product is the packaging.In other words, if you are a die-hard Simpsons fan, and must have everything with their likeness on it, then purchase this CD-ROM. If not, I would skip over this and purchase a collection of Simpsons episodes now available on videocassette for an enjoyable evening.
