for the first couple of hours, this game is great. most of the gripes have been said by other reviewers but honestly after a while of playing this game i was so frustrated i wanted to punch whoever made it. boring would be the appropriate word to describe peter and brian's levels and some of stewie's levels are so hard that you have to do each about 15 times to just pass through. if you're a die hard fan of family guy, and if you have extra money to blow on family guy stuff, go for it... if not do yourself a favor and don't buy this game.

Strangely hard!

Just adding to what others have already mentioned - the Peter levels are insanely hard, it's extremely repetative which just makes this game very frustrating. Fun for the Family Guy fans, but don't buy it - rent it.

Ps - why are there no cheat codes for this game?? (yes, it's that hard!)

Could have been much, much better

A Family Guy video game sounds like a great idea on paper, and it could have been if handled right. The reality is that the Family Guy video game isn't horrible, it's just not that good. The game focuses around the Griffin family as you control many members (as well as other characters like Quagmire), particularly Peter, Stewie, and talking dog Brian. The game's various missions consist of the basic platforming/adventure elements that veteran gamers should pick up in no time, but there's no real challenge to the game at all. The only time Family Guy gets challenging is during it's more sloppy moments (like the stealth mission with Brian), but other than that, the game's really a cakewalk. However, the overly vulgar sense of humor presented here is fantastic, and many of the show's voice cast is here as well and used to great effect minus some recycled material from the show. Also, the game utilizes a cell-shaded graphical look that nicely suits the presentation of Seth MacFarlane's show as well. All in all, the Family Guy game isn't horrible at all, it's just not that fun. However, if you are a fan of the show, the game is still worth checking out, even though it could have been done much, much better.

A game enjoyable for fans

This game will really only appeal to those who are big fans of the series. It is an alright game that is riddled with references to the show. A good add to the FG collection, not so much for the video game collection.

Blah

Reading the reviews below really gives you a good idea. The graphics in the animated sequences are horrible and the actual gameplay is irratating. Basically its elementary moves over and over; but the way the graphics are set up make even simple tasks impossible unless you try over and over (see Stewie's jump levels). It really reminded me of the old Simpsons games in the early 90's, so dissapointing. Not even worth playing.

Not a lot there

This game is not creative or challenging. It does not offer a lot of thought and becomes quite boring and is now gathering dust on a shelf.

Don't waste your money

I'm sure there are worse games out there , graphic- and playability-wise, but I have to agree with my headline here when I say this game sucks.I traded it in after owning it for about a month. I would recommend against buying this game unless you an find it free or for under $3.00, but then the issue is that it's just plain a waste of time.

I have to endorse what some other people have formerly stated: that you're better off just picking up a whole season and watching it. I'd have to recommend the Season 4, Volume 4 Box Set, which is my personal favorite.

Overall: The game's pretty sucky, don't buy it period.

Who doesn't LOVE Family Guy!!!

If I didn't LOVE the Family Guy, I might complain about this game... lol The game itself isn't very consistent... you fly through one level in one shot, then it takes two days to get through the next and over and over... The gaming is fun but the big bonus is definately that you get to hang with your favorite characters... (although not EVERYONE is in the game).

For Family Guy fans this is a must... For everyone else, rent it first to make sure it's worth your purchase.

The Best out of tv show games

Sure some tv show game a good. But Family Guy, with it's Crazy creaters and writers have hit it. This is the best out of tv show games. Why? Because it's true to the show, it has the voice talents of the original actors, and the story and game was made by the creaters. And another Plus is when you play it. you can also control other characters in the game, like death, Quagimire, Cleveland, Defed Up Greased Guy, Peter's Father & Lois. But You can only control theme in some of Stewie's Levels with his mind control. And another plus is that when you play Peter's levels you get to fight some of the characters that Peter gets fights into some of the shows. This Game is like a lost episode, that you'll never see on TV or DVD. Now lets talk about characters.

Stewie: The game starts out that stewie wants to take over the world, Like Always. But Bertrum his Evil brother is in his way. so Stewie sets out to stop him. So hi can do it himself.

Peter: Meanwhile Peter is watching a Mr. Belveder marathon on his tv station PTV, in the mean time when stewie and bertrum duke it out on the roof of the garage Peter goes out and get clonked on the head. While peter is in the hospitle he wakes up and thinks that Mr. Belveder kidnapped his family and goes out to search for him, Oh, did i tell you he thinks everybody he runs into works for Mr. Belveder. From Children To Old People. In some levels petter will get knocked out and turn into some crazy character from the show.

Brian: Now poor Brian is acussed of getting Sebreez Pregnant again. When Joe takes him to jail Brian Escapes your job is to find out who the real Father is and when you get to brians last level you'll get a suprise. Giggity.

The game is really fun. like some of the other reviewrs say this is basically a game for fans. Oh, just one more thing. Another cool part of the game is you get to actually get to play the cut aways. Each character has a diffrent way off geting out of thier perdicaments. But I'll let you find out for yourself. I hope this review helps.

From the gameplay, to the movie clips, you won't stop laughing!

Family Guy the videogame, is basically taking control of an extended episode. Credit is due for the writers and cast who made me laugh from start to finish. Playing the game is easy, the objectives aren't very difficult, and they're not meant to be. This is for hardcore fans of the show and it does contain plenty of adult situations and language. Lets hope they made another very soon!
