Unless you really suck/hate puzzles, then go for Lego Star Wars.

I rented the game and the humor put into it eases my anger against some of the puzzles.

I did not find this game difficult at all.

As you progress through Career you will get better.

There are a few hard challenges but it is otherwise relatively simple.

The extra content is the hardest thing about this game. Those are really hard.

On the regular levels, it has regular checkpoints within the levels.

In Springfield (free roaming) it autosaves whenever you pick up a collectible or finish a level. So even if you have to leave, have a power outage, or your 360 freezes, you won't lose much work.

Also, there are always 2 players (one is a npc if you are alone) and if your character dies you automatically switch to the other. So essentially you have an extra life at all times.

In summary, it's not hard but having a walkthrough handy might prevent any aggravation.

SWLego isn't bad, but I had a lot of frustration with it glitching and crashing my 360. I find that WAY more aggravating.

The main missions of the game aren't really that hard at all. The later levels are mildy challenging..but if you're looking for an amusing distraction from COD4 I'd say the simpsons game is great. I'm going back now and beating the time trials and some of them are really hard...fun game

My 8 year old son finished this practically by himself . If you are a fan of "The Simpsons" type of humour you'll enjoy all the video game references and cliches. It's not a very polished game by any means but if you want a nice change of pace from the madness of COD 4 then this is a good game. The only thing I'd suggest is rent it first

Rent, don't buy this game.

The horrible camera angles & lackluster controls have made me put this game down for a while.

This game generally isn't hard, but some of the time challenges are, but I guess it can't all be easy. The game is fun & good but does get boring after a while, especially when going for the time trials on each level, finishing the level and then realising that you didn't beat the target time! if you have to choose between this and lego star wars: TCS, definitely go for star wars, that game is awesome!

The game is pretty easy, but the camera angle system is very bad.

I'm glad to see the "mixed" opinions on this. I was originally looking forward to this game before it was released, and had it on my wish list. Then I tried the demo -- which I found challenging but not impossible. But based on the frustration level and the poor camera mechanics...I quickly removed it from my wish list.

Then my birthday rolled around and my wife thought it would make a good gift...LOL...so it's the next game on my to-play list. I hope it will be a good, humorous "break" after finishing TimeShift but before I start Dark Sector. I have to remember not to take this game too seriously...it's The Simpsons, afterall! Stick out tongue [:P]

now playing: Assassin's Creed 2
next up: DJ Hero

Lego Star Wars is a much better 'break'

Well the camera and the time limits make this game annoying. I still think that Hit and Run is a better game overall.

It's fun for what it is, and right now it's cheap, so yeah buy it.

The game itself (Storyline) is not that hard. You can't die so you can try untill you get it, and the humor will make this a good stress releiver if you are a fan of the Simpsons (Oh I remember that episode moments... Lingo everyone). If you are going for all the cheevos, going around Springfield can be superboring, and time consuming. Some of the time challenges are pretty frustrating (Enter the Cheatrix). My recommendation play the story, and grab the collectibles on each level, it will give you unlimited supers when you do, so going back to do the level time challenges it will be easier. All in all, this game is WAY EASIER if you compare it to CoD4 or WaW, multiplayer BS, or if you are trying to finish it on Veteran.
