Games Master UKTechnically polished and full of character, but as a game it's horribly frustrating. [Christmas 2006, p.70]
-
Skip this one and check out Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story instead.

PSM3 Magazine UKYou could suffer in the hope of a smirk or you could just buy the DVDs. Giggity-goo! Etc. [Christmas 2006, p.80]

I already suffered through the X-Men game this summer, so I figured Family Guy comedy would give the formula a much-needed lift. Clearly I’ve been betrayed, suckered into the same damn thing, and now I’m just frustrated. Family Guy has come very far in reproducing the TV experience, but doesn’t get the same ratings.
-
It's repetitive, boring and even frustrating way more often than it should be.
-
Exactly what I expected it to be -- a perfectly mediocre game with a few good jokes and not a whole lot of gameplay.
-
With such a drastic difference in features and entertainment value between Stewie and the rest of his kin, one wonders why he didn't just get his own game. As it stands, you'll have to play through some pretty irritating nonsense just to get to the good stuff, and it's just not worth the effort.
-
Sort of like a dorky teenager going through an identity crisis: it wants to be cool like all the other kids, but it hasn't quite figured out what it is about them that made them cool in the first place. The game isn't severely broken in any major way, but I can't bring myself to recommend it to even the most hardcore Family Guy fan.
-
Nothing new for fans of the series and nothing that appeals to gamers, a game that had room for so much potential, sadly falls short in reality.
-
There are the seeds of a good Family Guy-based game here, but they're buried under some extremely repetitive and annoying gameplay.
-
PSM MagazineThe controls are frustrating, the gameplay is mercilessly repetitious and even the humor gets old after a few hours. [Jan 2007, p.88]
-
Just plain dreadful...There was only ever a faint hope it wouldn’t be as bad as "The Simpsons Skateboarding" or that "Futurama" game, but it is.
-
You wouldn't think it possible, but cartoon games have an even worse track record than film adaptations. South Park, Futurama, The Simpsons - all have debased themselves thoroughly when making the leap from telly to joypad. And yet even by those low standards, Family Guy is a pretty desperate experience.
-
Official Playstation 2 Magazine UKThis awful game liberally spits in the face of every Family Guy enthusiast, even with its budget price tag. [Christmas 2006, p.100]
-
Family Guy tries to appeal to everyone by having three different genres in one short game and it fails miserably.
-
Most of the action is aggravating, but Brian's stealth missions are intolerable. In several of his levels, you have to steer him away from trees, or he'll lose control and make you wait while he takes a whiz.
-
If you are a fan of the series, you would need to have never played any other games over the last ten years for this to come across as impressive.
