Family Feud

"Richard Dawson has never disappointed me more"

I only bought this game because it was one of my favorite game shows back in the day. And boy was I disappointed when I brought home a five dollar piece of crap! The game-play is too hard and tedious and this game is just not worth the money.

The game play itself is just like the television show Family Feud. Richard Dawson is the host of two competing families who must beat players from the other team in answering questions and then answer questions as a family. The other team can steal the question if one team gets more than three wrong answers and then they get the points. At the end, the team with the highest score goes into two speed rounds of five questions each, and if they reach a certain score, they win the game.

Game play: 2/10
This is possibly what brings this game down to a three for its final grade. If Nintendo had made a keyboard like Sony did for the PS2 has, the game would be a lot better. Or even if it were mouse compatible it would be a little better. If you've ever watched the game show, the host asks a family questions and they have to give him an answer…and no, they're not multiple choice. When you're playing the game you answer the questions by selecting letter-by-letter your answer. And there is no easier way to do this. And what happens if you misspell the word? It's wrong! So make sure to keep a dictionary with you while playing! Though how else would they do it?

Graphics: 4/10
Again something that brings down this game. There isn't really much to this game. Its not intricate like RPG's or action games. But really, the poor animations made me thing the peoples' arms were going to fly right off the first time I played! Everything else is pretty solid though.

Sound: 1/10
Again there really isn't much sound to rate in this game, and that is why I gave the sound a one. There are probably five different sound files on this game. But what they do have is nothing too bad.

Replay Value: 4/10
Bad game play in ninety-nine percent of cases results in low replay value. This game is not of the one percent that evades this rule. Save for a few times after I first bought this game, I haven't played this game at all. I suppose that if you have the patience to grit your teeth while having to type in massive amounts of answers, maybe you'll find this game more attractive, but really this game is useless.

Final Words: 2/10
Though Family Feud is one of my favorite game shows, my love was not spread into this review. The game is terrible. The game play was terrible and monotonous and just overall frustrating. I would strongly recommend staying away from this game.
