The science fair is on at Springfield Elementary and Bart goes into a VR experiment. From there you play 1 of 8 levels depending on where Bart finishes up on a spinning wheel. This is a plus because if you are stuck on a level, or just bored, you can just play another one. None of the levels are that fun though with a lot of the jumping needing to be perfect to complete the leaps throughout the awkwardly designed levels.

If you like your football free-flowing and attacking, this game is for you. Lots of chances and goals are a feature with through balls being very damaging and the AI are not afraid to give away penalties - I had 4 in one game. 3-3.5/5

This is roughly 70% third-person shooting and 30% jumping and climbing on walls. The shoot and cover system works well along with the platforming aspects, which might I say is a complete rip off of Prince of Persia games. In saying this, in the earlier POP games, it was easier to make a stupid mistake and jump the wrong way off a wall compared to this. The few puzzles in this are pretty lacklustre compared to similar games though and don't place any stress on the brain. It does what it does well with an interesting enough story and graphics that are pleasant on the eye, but I'll be interested to see if the sequels offer more originality.

I played this on easy difficulty after finishing the first game in the series because I didn't expect the gameplay to change too much, and I was right. There is some added stealth that can be used if the player wishes to do so, improved graphics and some better cool action sequences, but it's really a different adventure of the same game as before. There is probably less platforming in this than the original as well.

As fun and frustrating as ever. If I had a swear jar next to me while attempting to collect all the gold medals to unlock every track, I would be able to finance the US out of the recession. Coming from all of the previous seven environments though, this is probably the least distinctive environment, and the fact that there is only one limits its longevity. Still great though for people who love beating the clock and playing online with its loyal fan base. Gameplay 4.5/5 Graphics 4.5/5 Sound 3.5/5 Difficulty 4.5/5 Originality 3/5
