A friend in middle school lent me this, and Super Princess Peach and I think I lent her Crash Twinsanity and Final Fantasy X. I think I got the better deal here.
hey lois
Meu irmão me deu esse jogo no meu aniversário de 8 anos (eu acho) e ele era muito dificil, slk.
It's funny and decent for a licensed game, but the gameplay just gets old too fast. The Stewie sections were probably the most fun, and the Peter sections were okay (i'm not usually a fan of beat-em-ups), but the sections with Brian are just bad. Also, the final boss as Peter is unforgiving with the QTE so I gave up.
It's almost as devoid of passion and effort as the show is, so it's the perfect game for Family Guy fans.
i dont like the peter mission but boy do i love family guy
I remember sitting there violently uncomfortable during the casino level. Different times huh. I was like 10
I would assume that a mid 2000s family guy game would be funny, or at least ironically enjoyable. That was the worst part, it just was not. It was not entertaining at all.
The 2000s were a weird time. When I was 11 years old, I went on a fun day in Geelong where my mum bought me this game. We later saw Epic Movie at the cinemas (lmao). Replaying this game recently made me remember I actually finished it in 2007, hence why I'm logging it.
In any case, Family Guy Video Game! is one of the most uniquely awful video games I've had the displeasure of playing. The gameplay as easy as you'd expect (I mean, this was a game marketed to fans of the show and not gamers), but the writing is painfully unfunny (which is important for a comedy themed game NOT to do--yet it's also Family Guy, who what did I expect?). I think the weirdest part of the whole game is how it feels like a children's platformer/shooter/action-adventure, borrowing elements of the Futurama game or even The Simpsons: Hit and Run, but those games are geared to a younger audience.
Was Family Guy Video Game! also trying to appeal to a younger audience despite the risque humour? I'm not sure, but it feels like a confused mess gameplay-wise. Also, it overstays its welcome with its lame humour. There's a reason I forgot that I finished it.

Ayo FUCK Brian Griffin in particular EAT CHOCOLATE YOU FUCKING CUNT PIECE OF SH
The WORST stealth mechanics in creation history. Hiding behind a desk? THE GAME DISAGREES. This prison inmate that's on the run from the police? STAND NEAR HIM AND HE YELLS TO THE POLICE WHERE YOU ARE, YOU'RE FUCKING YOURSELF MORE THAN ME IN THIS SITUATION WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING. Stand near a random metal object? A METER FILLS UP FORCING BRIAN TO GIVE IN TO HIS URGES AND PISS ON IT, BLOWING YOUR COVER. THERE'S LIKE 12 EPISODES WHERE WE SEE HIM ON 17 HOUR TRANS-CONTINENTAL AIRPLANE FLIGHTS, YOU TELLING ME HE WAS PISSING AND SHITTING THE WHOLE TIME WHAT IS THIS MECHANIC GET FUCKED
The Peter levels, dumptruck ASS also. Spam square. Spam square. Spam squ- UH OH, THIS ENEMY'S IMMUNE TO THIS ATTACK... so now just SPAM CIRCLE instead. Spam circle. Spam circle. Spam cir- SPLOOPS IMMUNE TO THIS ATTACK NOW... so just go back to SPAM SQUARE. THIS ISN'T DEPTH FAM IT'S STILL JUST SPAMMING BUTTONS EXCEPT NOW IT TAKES EVEN LONGER, I'M BORED AS FUCK
The Stewie sections are easily the best, which is to say they're still DOG SHIT. JUMP OVER THE SMALLEST PLATFORMS ATOMICALLY POSSIBLE WITH CONTROLS LOOSER THAN ME ON AN AVERAGE SATURDAY, BRIAN HAS MORE CONTROL OVER HIS SHITTY PISS THAN THIS. So you've fallen off the platform, meaning you'll die and respawn, right? HOW ABOUT YOU FALL SEVEN FLOORS DOWN INSTEAD, MEANING YOU HAVE TO REDO THE LAST TWO MINUTES OF GAMEPLAY EAT SHIT
AND THEN THERE'S SECTIONS WHERE YOU UNCONTROLLABLY SLIDE THROUGH POOLS AND DOWN RAMPS, IS THIS A FUCKING JOKE. I noticed the tip of the bone of your elbow vaguely grazed the wall there, GET BOUNCED 500 MILES INTO A LANDMINE YEEEAAAHHH.
But don't worry because here's a segment where a laser grid blocks your path and the only way to turn it off is to bounce a bullet off the wall in such a specific way that it ricochets off multiple consecutive objects gotta be the correct angle though or it won't work to aim you have to stand perfectly still but OOPS here's 15 enemies shooting at you so you gotta keep moving so using the direct aim isn't viable but OOPS-ER aiming without standing still is somehow looser than the platforming so good luck spamming shots while avoiding shots while constantly moving the bullets are bouncing but not the way we wanted NOW YOU'RE RUNNING OUT OF AMMO AND HEALTH AND PATIENCE AND WILL TO LIVE YAAAY YOU DID IT HERE'S 36 MORE ENEMIES SPAM SQUARE
QUICK TIME EVENTS AAAARRRRGGGGHHHH
The invisible walls are mimes, that's pretty good lol

if god were to play a game this would be the game it would play
hey lois, remember the time my game sucked balls? nyehehehehehe
fuck this
My parents let me rent this as a kid. My memory of this game is a blur. I just remember the final boss for Peter specifically was the giant chicken and one of the levels is just Stewie platforming through a hospital massacre.
This game is fucking hard and Family Guy sucks
Stewie - Good
Peter - Okay
Brian - One of the worst things I've ever played in my life
Because of its short playtime, you either like or hate this game based on your enjoyment of the FGU (Family Guy Universe) 5

gaming will never surpass the peter griffin beat em up levels
Hey Peta! This game manages to translate the humor from the funniest show alive to the playstation 2. The diversity in gameplay styles keeps the game fresh even if none of them will blow you away. If you like the show then you have to check this out. Its better than you think.
peter dies from a dish televison
hard ass game. it made me break my psp
This is the cause of all my pain. exactly one year ago today my grandma gifted me this game. then she died and said peter griffin did it. after that my family got into a huge argument with local joe swanson mafia and my whole family died. a day later they burnt my house and this game was the only thing that remained in the ashes
hey lois remember when we were on backloggd
kino life changing
one of “the” games of all time. It translates the writing alright, but the gameplay is just so boring that it’s really a slog to get through. Peter turning into Bleter was very funny even if his whole Belvedere thing in this game was horribly unfunny. I didn’t laugh as much as I’d like but just knowing this exist makes me giggle a little.
ASa joke this game is a masterpiece.
With no jokes this game has some fun moments but has most of your time be done by it's weird physics and bull. The brain levels suck I wish I did the stewie gltich that speedrunners use cus wow they take way longer then they should and the detection is really weird. Stewie is mostly consistently fun gameplay wise except the level with the mines those were annoying to deal with. Peter is pretty funny to play he's prob my fav for that but also sometimes the damn enemies would just be too many and or take 70000 cutaways to die. So gameplay wise has issues. Everything else is fucking hilarious.
hehehehehhe -pete

Family Guy the Video Game is a repetitive mess that plays like an episode of family guy.
The game is riddled with a bunch of references from the early seasons, and overall has a dumb story within it's gameplay.
While it is cool seeing iconic locations from family guy within this game, you basically go along with 3 different gameplay styles:
Stewie: Platforming Shooter Section
Peter: Side Scrolling Beat em Up
Brian: Stealth Sections
The game has you progressing from point A to B, while occasionally progressing throughout the levels, with different references and straight up jokes from Family Guy, repeated here instead of new jokes. And while it does have a bit of new jokes, they're not funny.
The Stewie sections are usually running and gunning while fighting enemies, along with occasionally platforming they're fine for what they are. Peter sections can get repetitive at times but they're beat em up sections and it's fine enough to where you can tolerate the repetitiveness since it's just copying general beat em ups.
The Brian sections... these sections are legit so boring to get through, there's never a worry that you're going to be caught by a guard or anything and the placement of the items you need to get context wise to the locations don't make sense at all.
The story is: Bertram returns to screw with Stewie and attempt to kill Stewie and take over the world. Brian gets accused by Carter Pewterschmidt (Lois' Dad) over Seabreeze
getting pregnant (assuming that this takes place after the Seabreeze episodes, but who cares there's no cohesive timeline for Family Guy) and he gets beaten up and arrested.
Brian then has to escape the Quahog and go to different areas to find evidence to prove his innocence and who the real culprit is. Peter's story is literally just he follows a light signal of Mr Belvedere... for some reason.
The game occasionally throws in cut away gags as minigame to break up gameplay, they're fine for what they do, and they give you bonuses for the character you're playing as.
The background jokes can give a nice member-berries for those who remember the early seasons.
Peter is only character who has costume changes because throughout each area of this game, for story reasons, Peter gets hurt and becomes a previous persona from an early episode:
- Regular Peter
- Rufus Griffin (Black Peter who's based on Disco and Black Dynamite)
- Prostitute Peter
- A.N.N.A. Peter (Robot Peter from the episode of: THE KING IS DEAD)
You go to different areas of Quahog like the Griffin Household, Spooner Street, Downtown, Cheesie Charlies, Quahog Police Station, Quahog Hospital, Quahog Dog Racing Track, inside Peter's Brain, and the park.
The game has 3 conclusions for the 3 characters:
-Brian proves his innocence and proves that Quagmire is the father of Seabreeze's puppies (Gross)
- Stewie Defeats Bertram and Bertram escapes by calling his mom
- Peter learns that Mr Belvedere is actually dead and has a fight with the Chicken as the final boss, only for the game to end with same Mr. Belvedere Signal to appear again, causing Peter to get angry as to what or who is making the signal.
We learn at the end it's Mayor Adam West making Shadow Puppets.
The game has a nostalgic factor for me obviously, but looking at it critically it's just below average at best, and really boring at worse, with a typical Family Guy story.
I will say though, I don't like the false advertising of the cover in terms of who it shows. I don't get why the cover shows Chris and Lois as if they're playable when they're just used for background gags, having no story of their own. The cover should have just been Peter, Brian, and Stewie, with Lois and Chris in the background like Meg.
Can't really recommend unless you love Family Guy, or love to be bored.

Family Guy Video Game! is one of the greatest video games of all time and one of the hidden gems on the PS2. The game features three playable characters: Stewie Guy, Peter Guy, and Brian Guy.
Starting with the weakest of the three, Brian Guy (played by Seth MacFarlane) plays through stealth levels in a similar fashion to Metal Snakes Solid because Brian Guy has been falsely framed by Mayor Adam West Guy (played by Adam West) for raping his dog (Seabreeze Guy) and Mayor Adam West Guy pays off the police to arrest Brian Guy. Brian Guy must go through a captivating story featuring false accusations and a deep emotional plot of Brian Guy trying to clear his name. The Brian Guy gameplay is interesting but overall the most boring of the three, because Brian Guy is a dog which means he is weak. Dogs should not be allowed to make video games.
Stewie Guy (played by Seth MacFarlane) has solid gameplay featuring him using his newly invented Stewie Gun to shoot up several people who attack him while collecting nuts to upgrade his weapon with upgrades you will use once or twice and then never again. Stewie Guy must infiltrate Peter Guy's dick (and Peter Guy says IT FEELS LIKE SOMEONE IS PLAYING A VIDEO GAME IN ME) to chase down Other Stewie Guy (Other Stewie Guy tricked Stewie Guy at the beginning of the game and now is going to take over the world, when Stewie Guy originally wanted to.)
Peter Guy (played by Seth MacFarlane) is the best character in the game and the most fun. Peter Guy must save his family from Mr. Belvedere Guy by beating up everyone in sight; Peter Guy himself even says "THE YOUNG AND ELDERLY WON'T SURVIVE MY FISTS OF FURY!" This is true because in the Peter Guy segments of the game you get to beat up and kill masses of little children which I think is funny and revolutionary because no other game lets you hurt little children (NOT EVEN SKYRIM.) Peter Guy is a super strong guy who kills everyone and is very fun and has many funny super moves to destroy all the scum he comes across.
As great as this game is, sadly it does not have Quagmire as a playable character which prevents it from being the best game of all time. I recommend anyone with a PS2, XBox, PSP, or an emulator for any of those to play this game as soon as possible. You will laugh, cry, and have an amazingly fun time playing through this story featuring these beloved characters, and it is a game you will never forget and always cherish.
Get this game.
I just wish Glenn Quagmire were playable.
