1. Introduction

Lets be honest here, there's never been a half-way decent Simpsons game 
on a home console... until now. Although it may have got reasonably harsh 
criticism from the so-called experts, to a Simpsons nut, this game is  
everything they could have ever asked for. Its blindly obvious that the 
developers were very much aware of the Simpsons world when they made this 
game, which gives the game a good lot of depth in the different locations 
you will come across. Sure, the absence of some peoples favorite character 
may annoy them, but think of how many characters there are in Springfield. 
It would take a year just to put them all in. Lets be happy with what we 
have, and hope that the Simpsons Skateboarding lives up to the now higher 
expectations. Anyway, that's enough, time to get on with the FAQ.

  
2. LOCATIONS

The many locations of Springfield are split into 6 sections. Below is a 
list of all the different locations in each level. I have intentionally 
left out the unimportant throw away buildings, which repeat in a number 
of levels, for example the RX drugs shop. Anywho, If you know of anywhere 
I have left out, feel free to e-mail me at [email protected], 
and I'll gladly add it in the next update, with full credit to you.


2.1 Evergreen Terrace

The first level you are given access to in Evergreen Terrace. This is 
essentially a warm-up level to get some practice in. Its an alright level, 
but not particularly big, and there isn't much to see. Still, it gets a 
solid 3/5.

Barriers of the Level

To prevent you from going to the next level, there are different types 
of barriers in your way, in Evergreen Terrace, there is a wall made of 
rubbish, similar to the one in "A Tale of Two Springfields"

2.2 Entertainment District

The second level features many well-known locations from the show, 
including Moe's Tavern and Noiseland arcade, as well as shops only 
die-hard Simpsons fans would remember. This level gets a 4/5 from me

2.3 Springfield Dam

The Dam is home to all of the out of town places the Simpson Family have 
visited in the past, like Kamp Krusty and Rancho Relaxo. A fairly good 
level, although initially hard to navigate. 3/5

Barriers of the Level

There are two lorrys blocking the road, one of which is a Duff lorry

2.4 Springfield Nuclear Power Plant

Springfield Nuclear is in my opinion a very bitty level. The only main 
attractions are the Plant and the Springfield Mall. Still, spotting all 
the familiar shop names in the mall is interesting, but overall, the level 
is a non- event. 2/5

Barriers of the Level

Again, just a lorry

2.5 Downtown

Personally, this is my favourite level. Its a sightseers dream, with many 
great references to "Marge Vs The Monorail" like the remains of the short 
lived Monorail, as well as giant Simpson family balloons hanging from the 
Sky. A definite 5/5 for this massive level

Barriers of the Level

Hehe, there's a fallen over sugar lorry blocking downtown. 

"If food stuffs should touch the ground, said food stuffs shall be turned 
over to the village idiot." Since i don't see him around, start shoveling!

Burns estate is a nice touch. 3/5

carrying trees.
