Now I tried the Wii version and it's... still not good. The PS2 version is marginally (this not a pun, I swear) better. Here you have some annoying mini-games that utilize Wii's motion controls, and I guess Wii doesn't have enough buttons, so they merged some of the functionality. It doesn't really affect the gameplay much, everything still mostly controls the same, but the game's problems, such as the boring, clunky, monotonous and ubiquitous combat, slow and unengaging platforming, and simplistic puzzles.

Is it better than Hit & Run or worse? I would say about equal, but The Simpsons Game wins. Hit & Run has better jokes, but I like the aesthetic and the story here better. As far as the gameplay, as flawed as this game is, at least it's relatively easy, which means I can actually beat it. I'll always take an easy and boring game over a challenging, but frustrating one.
