It's looking most "eeeexcellent"

2) Medal of Homer
This level is in three parts. In the first, you must reach and collect over 30 white flags in a French village. In the next, you escort Private Burns's tank through a danger zone using Gummi Homer to eat all the radioactive waste, while in the final mission, you make your way through a battle ship, using C-4 to blow open doors.

Play as: Homer and Bart
Game it's most like: Medal of Honor (and a bit of Castle Wolfenstein)
Enemies: The French
Best bit: Punching Burns in the face.
Soundbite: Homer: "Ooh, look at me! I'm French! I'm a scared girl! I don't like being bombed and attacked!"
