The Simpsons: Bart vs. the World
Bart vs. the World is a platformer published by Acclaim Entertainment for the NES, released in 1991, and it is the second game based on The Simpsons. You play as Bart Simpson, who must travel around the world to stop a villainous mastermind from taking over the planet, visiting iconic locations like the Great Wall of China, the Eiffel Tower, and the pyramids of Egypt. The gameplay involves platforming, combat, and puzzle-solving, with a focus on using Bart's skateboard and slingshot to overcome obstacles and defeat enemies. A unique feature is the "travel" system – the game is divided into levels set in different countries, each with unique cultural themes, enemies, and challenges, providing variety and a sense of adventure. The game also includes a two-player mode where the second player can control Lisa. The game features a health bar and a continue system. The graphics are colorful and detailed, with a cartoonish style that captures the show's humor and aesthetic. The music is quirky and upbeat, with a global-inspired soundtrack. Critics praised the variety of locations but noted the controls were similar to the first game. It supports two players. Bart vs. the World is a fun and varied Simpsons platformer.
