    Before a get started I just want to say that I am a HUGE Family Guy fan since 1999 to today.

    Family Guy: Back to the Multiverse... this game kinda came out of left field, I only knew about it a couple months before it came out, but I know alot of people who still don't know about it know and its already out. This game isnt broken, but it not good. The singleplayer is at times fun and    Before a get started I just want to say that I am a HUGE Family Guy fan since 1999 to today.

    This game isnt broken, but it not good. The singleplayer is at times fun and funny but really short and really repetitive, not to mention respective, and the last boos battle is really quit frustrating. The controls arent really that bad, I'd even go as far as to say that their good, you'll need to put your sensitivity to at least 9 though. The game has drop in drop out co-op, and multiplayer , kinda. Theirs no online play what so ever, so is it 2012 or 1999, but maybe you can play with bots, the answer is no, so the sucks. I would have gave this game a six but with no online its a 5.    … Expand

    This game is fun. There is lots to do and some replayablility with some very well hidden secondary goals. The controls work great and the game really captures the show with lots of humor, I laughed out loud a lot. It is not a great game but it is certainly not as bad as the critics are saying.

I think the developers did a pretty good job of giving fans a Family Guy game and I am not disappointed at all. Not a masterpiece but a very fun game to play, much more fun than Assassins Creed 3.… Expand

    I think I need to do this game justice. It is obvious that yes this isn't the best game ever and why is that you may ask well because it wasn't designed to be that's why. This is a fun all round game meant not to be taken seriously Its family guy for god sake what were people expecting a story on par with games like Mass Effect despite not having the best story, the graphics while notI think I need to do this game justice. It is obvious that yes this isn't the best game ever and why is that you may ask well because it wasn't designed to be that's why. This is a fun all round game meant not to be taken seriously Its family guy for god sake what were people expecting a story on par with games like Mass Effect despite not having the best story, the graphics while not being the best have a nice style and are like the tv show which I found great as it was a nice change from normal game graphics I found as it never seemed to get old. The game play is OK in this and while it does feel like every other generic shooter that doesn't mean its totally bad. It's playable. But their are something in this game that do make up for that, things like collectibles are a nice little touch and while being a conman thing in games they do allow for some replay ability and fun to be had The game doesn't feature online co-op which I found disappointing so I would say if you are planning on getting this game get it like me a few months after its been out The voice acting in this game great and provides some witty humor which I found enjoyable and made the game even better. The story as I mentioned earlier isn't on par with things like Mass Effect or the metal gear solid franchise but still that doesn't stop it from being great. The story is basically about you having to switch between different universes stopping Bertram before he assembles a army and destroys the current universe Brian and Stewie live in In short this game is great fun and if you can get it cheap like me and are a fan of the show go for it … Expand

    After so much waiting, I finally got this game yesterday for Valentines Day (Thank You Mom and Dad). I've been trying to get my hands on this game for a little while, but due to some issues and conflicting opinions about this game I held off on Family Guy for a while. Now how is the game? Is it good or is it one of the worse games recently released? Well, I played the game for like 4 hoursAfter so much waiting, I finally got this game yesterday for Valentines Day (Thank You Mom and Dad). I've been trying to get my hands on this game for a little while, but due to some issues and conflicting opinions about this game I held off on Family Guy for a while. Now how is the game? Is it good or is it one of the worse games recently released? Well, I played the game for like 4 hours yesterday and the game is not that bad what people make it out to be. The game is like a missing Family Guy cartoon. If you are not a fan of Family Guy or have not been following the series, you might feel lost. Stewie's arch enemy Bertram returns after in one of the Family guy episodes he was killed in a alternate universe, but since Stewie nor Brian couldn't kill him for reasons I have no idea so Bertram comes back to exact revenge on Stewie and Brian. Stewie and Brian must stop Bertram from taking his revenge and must go to multiple universes to stop Bertram's evil plan. You can play as Stewie or Brian and both have different weapons to choose from and different inventories. The downside is if your taking critical damage from one character and you switch to the other character, you have the same health bar. Luckily, the game supplies you with multiple health packs and ammo to get. The game is fun and entertaining, but can feel really boring. Its a simple story you must complete. Does this make the game bad? No. Swapping between Stewie and Brian is fun and destroying objects in your path, shooting every enemy that comes your way, and many other stuff you can do. Its also fun to hear Brian and Stewie shout out old phrases and saying from the cartoons. At the same time can be annoying because they shout it every 5 minutes and say the same thing all the time. Family Guy is definitely not the best game in the world, but is not terrible either. Fans of Family Guy will probably enjoy this game and if you want to try out a different game try this.… Expand

    This is not the best game in the world, but its okay. I don't think it deserves as bad reviews as its getting. The gameplay could be improved, but I've seen worse. How much did we even expect from a video game based on Family Guy? Not much. This is better than I thought it would be.

    Appalling levels, terrible writing, repetitive gags and weak shooting mechanics make for one of the least enjoyable experiences of 2012. Be smart and avoid at all costs. [Issue#93, p.82]

    Funny but mediocre shooter that a mother (or a hardcore fan) couldn't love. [Feb 2013, p.78]

    Not good. Not funny. Which is a sin for a Family Guy game.
