    What's most impressive is the way a lot of humor is injected into the actual gameplay.

    A fun game and is well worth playing through. Unfortunately, you can play through the game in less than eight hours. While brief, most of the game plays fairly well and the quirky characters and jokes will have you laughing out loud at times.

    Though it gets the show's style of humor down pat, Family Guy is derailed by frustrating and uninteresting gameplay.
  4. Gamers' Temple

    I'll give the Stewie segments a 70, the Peter segments a 60, and the Brian stealth missions a 50. Averaged out the game would get a generous 60, but I'll give it a one point demerit for the lameness of the mini-games.
  5. Game Chronicles

    The game might look great, but the gameplay is seriously lacking. Five years ago, Family Guy might have made a wave in the gaming world; today it makes hardly a ripple.
  6. Game Revolution

    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.
  7. The A.V. Club

    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.

    7.5 is what I think actually. My friend gave it to me for my birthday, as we're both huge fans of the show, I didnt blow 30 bucks on it. 7.5 is what I think actually. My friend gave it to me for my birthday, as we're both huge fans of the show, I didnt blow 30 bucks on it. Stewie's levels are decent fun, Brian's levels are terrible but can be good(the first newstation level was actually prettty good.) Peters are actually not too shabby. Thing is, pretty much every character made an appearance, from the evil monkey (!!!) to Helen Keller, EVERYBODY. The game is incredibly funny. Hardcore fans, buy. Normal fans, rent. Everyone else, no. Just no. P.S yes, you can fight as Peter in his prostitute outfit and as Rufus Griffin. But there are no new abilities in those outfits.… Expand

The controls were actually quite fluid except for some obstructions from the camera which proved too frustrating to continue on. The camera itself cannot be rotated and you are stuck with the two dimension view which at times does not reveal where you need to platform to fully and at other times is not optimal which is a needless problem in a platform based game. The areas for this reason became very repetitive breaking down to boring. If you read reviews on the game hardcore fans can tolerate this while other casual gamers cannot. Myself I enjoy family guy quite a bit but think I'd rather subject myself to the cartoons rather than lose my spirit within the game. The actual cartoon visuals, character voice acting and rediculous nature of the show is portrayed extremely well it's unfortunate the gameplay issues don't match. Still, if you are a fan I think this game is definitely worth the gamble but I'd do a little bit of review homework to make a final decision whether this game should be attempted.… Expand

I rented this game in the hopes it could at least have good humor but I was so wrong. The gameplay is god awful and worst of all the game doesn't even make you laugh. THe jokes are literally recycled from previous episodes and thrown in to the game. Family Guy the game has no positive qualities and I would be hard pressed to find something that sucked more than this game.… Expand
