Family Guy

"Finally!! A Fun Game to Play!"

INTRO
The Family Guy, staring Peter Griffin, his wife, his kids, and his talking dog. Even if you never seen an episode, you must of heard of them, or seen a commercial or article about this cartoon series on national television. This is comedy, very humorous if you like this type of comedy. Other wise you couldn't care less about it. I'm going to start out by saying I love some of their episodes, and hate some others. But I do love this game. It makes me laugh, smile, giggle, smirk, etc. It's just plain simple fun, something that video games have been missing for such a long time. We needed a comedy game, and this one fits the bill.

GAME PLAY
This is a real cool format for game playing. It is like playing three different video games at once. The game switches you back and fourth between the three stories. You have your stealth, your brawler, and your shooter action. You can't complain about this, it's a very fun format, and unique. Of course you have your little mini games in between, which are a lot. It's like the show with little interruptions here and there. It's amazing how they managed to capture this game just like the TV episodes. One thing about this game is the board's range from easy to very hard. This is not one of those video games you going to pop in and be done quickly with it. It will take you some time to beat this game. The replay value I guess is an even five. Depends on how much of a die-hard fan you really are.

APPEARANCE
Simple cartoon-ish graphics here nothing special just like the show. I wouldn't want it any way else. You wouldn't want to see major changes to the characters or the shows appearance. It's just like you would be watching an episode on your TV set. Anything less would be bad, and anything greater would make it lose its originality. So they did a pretty decent jof here. The voice is the same thing nothing but the original voice cast from the characters. The developers get a big plus in the appearance and special affects of this game.

OVERALL
The final word now. For all you Family Guy fans, this is a must have game for you, no question about it. It is right up your ally. Now for all those none Family Guy fans, you won't find this top notch, but you will find lots of things to like about it. In other words for the no family guys, the points drop a notch or two, but it is a game still worth while playing.
