  • Story/Description:
    Quote:

    The first video game based on the hugely popular Family Guy TV show, the Family Guy game will feature the same outrageous humor all the fans know and love. Play through three stories that intersect in typical Family Guy fashion.



    * Play as three popular characters from the show: the loveable Peter, the diabolical Stewie and the charismatic Brian.
    * "Freakin' sweet" gameplay switches back and forth to each character throughout the game.
    * Funny and unique combination of combat, stealth and puzzle-solving gameplay.
    * Family Guy wouldn't be complete without the random funny things, satirizing pop-culture, that jump out and seemingly have no place in the flow of the story - now you can actually play them!
    * Interactive Humor - take part in the jokes, parodies and sarcasm as though you were part of the show.
    * Visit familiar locations around Quahog and interact with many beloved characters from the show. Giggity! Giggity! Giggity!

Sorry guys, first template and the info (release wise) is limited.

Anyway, I'm pumped for this game, as a Family Guy fan and it's release is imminent. Hopefully there's more than me hangin' out for this game.

Cheers guys Very Happy

thanks for the edit.

As to the game, I have no doubt that it might suck a little..... but it contains locations, humour and characters straight out of the show, so it can't be that bad.

I even played that futurama game to the end. Mind you, if they had done futurama in the 'simpsons hit and run' style, that would've kicked so much ass.

just been playing it. it's really fun - i'm glad i preordered it.

you start off as stewie. there are loads of typical family guy jokes in it - both in the videos before levels and the levels themselves.

all in all, at this point, i'd give it a 8.5/10. It has actually been quite challenging in parts - and its got alot of promise.

I will give a better review later.

Sad this sucks. I just got past the first stewie level, and it came up to the cut scene for the second level. brian is saying how there is a hidden porno level if you press up up down down left. I, naturally do it - during the cut scene and it skips the cut scene and brian is in jail.

I'm thinking at this point that the story is half the fun of this game, so i go to "quit level" which takes me back to the main menu. At this point, i go to my "continue game" option and the only thing listed is the very first point of the first level. I cba to play the whole first level through again so i'm letting a mate do it.

Its a shame - because you can load pretty much any room up after dying when in game, and it must be a bug that the game didn't save the start of the second level. Be warned.

took me 2 goes to finish it, and it would've been 1 but I felt sleepy.

I'd give it a 6.5 outta 10, but a 10/10 for retaining the humour of the shows and having an abundance of easter eggs from the show.

The first one is pretty easy, so that I won't write down.

here are the combinations for the last two.

2. square, cross, circle, cross, square, square, square, cross, cross, cross, square, triangle, triangle.

3. square, cross, circle, cross, square, square, square, cross, cross, cross, square, triangle, triangle. square, cross, circle, cross, square, sqaure

hope that help's

What I did was I wrote them down bit by bit, untill I got it all, and then I just could look at my notes and press the keys Cool

I'm having much trouble with the second Clamb Shell, always low on health when I get to it damm hehe.

Stewies Mission are my farvorites, Brians last bit on the police station, was very anoying with Joe Swanson Grrr, But I manage to get by it at last though.

Nope its the Xbox one, maybe its something to do with enabling the debug features then? a simple text edit on the game.txt

Played this earlier on along with a few of the other new releases, surprisingly decent usage of the license IMO, captures the humour well and is loaded with characters from the series even the ones which made fleeting appearances.

I think when a game of this nature makes you repeatedly laugh out loud whilst playing its fair to say its achieved some form of success in what it was trying to do - I wouldn't buy the game personally, not the style of game that I would splash the cash and from what you guys say not enough longevity still a decent enough effort though.

Loved the first Peter level where he thinks that everyone is an "Agent" out to get him, including old people, kids, police, people leaving a church etc naturally his way of dealing with them is to beat them up. Funny thing is you get to a point on the level around the church where God is chatting up a woman, if you try to beat him up a lightning bolt comes down from the sky and kills you outright. Razz

Thanks for that. That worked well.

Mind you, it's a bit broken. Choosing one of stewies levels leaves you stranded as you can't fire your gun, loading the minigames just brings up a black screen.... other than that sort of issue, it's fine.
