It’s not hard to screw up Family Feud… the formula is there, all you have to do is follow it. And this game does that fairly well. IIt’s not hard to screw up Family Feud… the formula is there, all you have to do is follow it. And this game does that fairly well. I especially appreciated how all of the predictive text answers are yelled by the host when he points to the board, just like the game show. It’s just too bad it’s not Richard Dawson, Ray Combs, or Steve Harvey.
No, the severe flaw in this game is an extremely obvious function the developers completely failed to include… YOU CAN’T SKIP ANYTHING!!! You can’t skip cut scenes, you can’t skip lines of spoken dialogue, you can’t skip animations… It’s insanely infuriating. That’s one the biggest insults I can imagine as a gamer – when you can read the subtitles faster than the character is speaking, but you can’t skip ahead, and are forced to listen to the rest of it at the speed the character is talking. To anyone with the reading skills of an 8th grader or better, this is just flat-out annoying.
Even at the discounted price of $10, the slow pace you are forced to experience the game at is still a huge turn-off. The only positive comment I can make about it is "Oh well... at least it's kinda like really being on the show, and experiencing everything in real time".
Except I don't play video games to experience things in real time. That's called "life", And one rule in life? UNSKIPPABLE CUTSCENES IN VIDEO GAMES ARE UNFORGIVABLE. In fact, I think I might get that tattooed on my lower back as a tramp stamp one day. It would be well worth it... I just wish Ubisoft would get one too.… Expand
