Family Guy (Sony PlayStation 2, 2006)

I don't know how anyone can like this game
IF YOU COMPLETELY LOVE THE SHOW AND HALF TO PLAY IT NO MATTER WHAT EITHER RENT IT OR PLEASE BUY IT FOR $10 OR UNDER
If you rent it you will be able to beat it in 3-5 days playing off and on
It was just a bunch of nonsense with a repeating game play/ stories
You play as Brian then you play as Peter then you play as Stewie
All alternating like three different games with in a game
It sounds good, but it's terrible Peter's part sucked and was just Peter beating up kids and old children for no reason...Brian's part was horrendous and i absolutely despised playing his section as It's just Brian finding clues and hiding in shadows while trying not to pee while Joe Swanson is looking for him all while Brian is trying to find the real father of Mr. Pewtershmidt's dog's babies...Stewies part is halfway decent Bertram (Stewie's brother from the episode where Stewie shrunk himself to prevent Lois from having another baby) escaped from being one of Peter's seaman at the sperm donating clinic and is born and trying to take over the world...you have to stop him and his army of clones with upgradeable weapons which is all the only good part of this game...If they made this game where you can play each one of these characters separate it would be Average, but since you have to play Brian's horrendous character every third time this game pretty much sucked...Stewey's part was enjoyable, fun and hilarious, but i only recommend this game to the most die hard Family Guy aficionado...Take it from me I love the TV show bought this game the week it cam out played and beat it and am now selling it on eBay to try and make half my wasted money back

Face it, the reason you are buying this game is because you enjoy Family Guy. You enjoy cutscenes, you enjoy quagmire humping things, you enjoy Joe being physically challenged, and most of all, you like the antics of the Griffen Family.

The game is broken into three play styles. As Peter, you have only a handful of different moves to fight and destroy everything that comes onto the screen. As Brian you sneak through and around a number of different environments that have different challenges, but the idea is the same - avoid being seen by anyone, and resist the urge to mark your territory, drink or hit on women. Stewies game are mostly a single camera shootout against multiple enemies, with a few puzzles and a couple vehicle-type levels.

Overview of Gameplay: Peter's levels are repeatetive and you will look forward to getting them out of the way. Brian's levels are a fun exercise of recognizing and maneuvering through sometimes tricky walk-paths. Stewie's levels are the most most fun, because honestly, how can you not enjoy vaporizing toddlers with a lazer and sliding through veins on a path to Peter's testicles?

The Real reason you will enjoy this game are the numerous references to the show, and experiencing even more of that same Seth McFarland humor. You get to play the cutscenes as minigames, and you will meet most of the best character's the show has introduced to us.

Summary: While the gameplay is only fair, and in the case of Peter's levels, repeatetive, the content and humor of the game make up for it if you are a fan of the show. Thus, the 4 rating is based on Entertainment Value, and not overall playability.

I too bought the Family Guy game expecting it to be just like the tv show but, boy i was wrong. The graphics are good and the story line is good but, the gameplay is lame.
Some levels are entirely to hard and the cutscene games are way too short. Stewie's movements are limited to shooting, Peter's movements are limited to fighting and poor ole Brian doesn't get to anything but walk around.
The game does have glitches where you sometimes have to restart the PS2 because a charactor disappears and 2K games website doesn't offer any help.
Overall for me the game was not worth the money spent or the time spent waiting for its release. I am glad to have Family Guy in my collect although it isn't a great but, because it is Family Guy.
I would suggest that anyone wanting the game wait until the price goes down before buying it.

Once again I had high expectations for a game and I was wrong once again! This game you play as the characters from the Hit TV Show 'Family Guy'. There was almost no interaction, and the graphics where lame as a horse with a broken leg. I will give it this tho, there where some parts where I could not stop laughing, you know, its so stupid you have to laugh. When I bought it I sat down and played it non stop and I cannot tell you how long it took but it was far under 24 hours when I finished the game. I would not recomend this game to anybody.

The game is too short and too boring. You play as Stewie, Brian, and Peter. With Stewie, you just shoot things, with Brian, you just walk around, and with Peter, you just punch things. Don't get me wrong, the game has it's funny moments. But they are just not good enough to overcome the multiple glitches, boring storyline, and repetitive levels. Don't buy it.
