GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria

This article is in decent shape, but it needs more work before it becomes a Good Article.

Is it well written?
A. The prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct:
In the Plot, "In order to access his mansion, the family needs to acquire four key cards from four upcoming The Simpsons games", drop "the" after Simpsons, the sentence sounds strange with "the". Same section, "AFter" ---> "After". In the Reception section, this sentence ---> "The game's The Simpsons humor received mixed reviews", reads very odd.

B. It complies with the manual of style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation:
In the Playable characters section, wouldn't "Venus de Milos" have to be italicized?
