The joke of playing through a stupid game on a stream for some friends continues.
So, it's a more focused experience than the 2006 game. It's just shooting, outside of a bland beat-'em-up fight as the penultimate encounter. It ran at 120fps on RPCS3 for me, which was nice, but it gets no credit for that in this review. The game is bland in terms of encounters and content. Some parts that weren't playtested especially well have fairly generous checkpoints to iron those out. The only somewhat interesting fight in the game is the final one. I died on it once, and noticed that the boss will refill its HP when that happens. It's the only time in the game I made a point to use a powerful weapon and healing items, and it was fairly straightforward from there.
Game's just bland, but serviceable. I wouldn't have gotten through it without my friends in VC mocking it for the 3 hours it took to finish. 1.5/5.

i can't believe this game did the you fight your co-op partner in a 1v1 thing as a peter/giant chicken fight that was fucking awesome. otherwise a generic shooter, some cute family guy references throughout but nothing too crazy it's mostly reused gags and especially reused voice lines. barely worth a play even if you're a family guy fan, but i have family guy brain rot and had a good time playing with my friend!
Fue una travesia todo y me gusto como quedo al final, el gameplay es divertido y retador, no hay tanto familyguy momentos como en el juego anterior pero cuando los hay que bueno, lo que si se la mamo es a su jugabilidad me encanto su shooter crei que mientras pasaba el juego con las nuevas armas ya todo seria mas facil y no el juego si te reta con su dificultad a pesar de ser un juego de padre de familia, que buueeeeeeno estuvo este juego
This review contains spoilers
This is the best Family guy game, but that doesn't mean much. The Story is that Bertram returns from a different multiverse to exact revenge on Stewie, and Brian and Stewie have to travel through different multiverses to stop all of his evil plans, this is a fun a creative idea for a Family Guy game, and it works as a main concept for the entire game, but I did notice problems, some include how the girl from the first world couldn't have seen you give Mort her photo, Stewie never should have let the evil mayor go, even if he was telling the truth, let alone assassinate an opponent of his, and Stewie clearly let himself and Brian get caught by Pirate Peter's crew, instead of shooting like he does the rest of the time. The Characters are the same as the show, they feel like how they should. The Graphics are much better than the last game, they aren't South Park games quality, but they surpass Hit and Run graphics, so that's something. The Gameplay is a 3rd person shooter, where you explore different multiverses, however they don't do enough with the multiverses to make you enjoy being in them, they aren't given enough variety for appeal, the lines Stewie and Brian say aren't impressive as they are copied lines from the show, assassinating the cheeseburger is not consistent when you could miss and hit again, yet the cutscene shows the first shot hit him, there is also a section where the pace of the game is ruined by going from playing between Brian and Stewie, to Peter fighting a chicken, the chicken also gets cut up, yet we see it whole at afterwards, and the game has you do linear tasks to finish the level, over doing many more fun options. The Music is not impressive, but doesn't distract from the worlds you explore. Back to the Multiverse brings Family Guy fun, but not enough with it's concept to make videogame quality.
Goofy, callbacks, comedy and destruction. I'm talking about a game that probably went under everybody's radar. The story? Who the hell needed a story I just wanted to kill bad guys with Stewie and Brian and every weapon I used was Hella fun. Such a masterpiece of a cartoonist game and I really want either a remastered version or a new Family guy game
Hehehehe, we made a bad game again.
I truly miss when we used to get mediocre licensed games based on cartoons that doesn't particularly follow any episode plotline and just exist to be an original game. Though they all tend to be bad and this one is no exception, it's just a really repetitive yet short third-person shooter where you just kill people and press something to unlock a door and continue till you get to the boss of the stage so it's truly nothing special. This game doesn't hit as hard as something like The Simpsons Hit and Run or the movie the game where they all had a bunch of Simpsons references so even if the gameplay was mediocre it had a whole lot of charm to balance the bad from the good, this is Family Guy so it's a whole lot harder to have neat reference to past episodes since Family Guy mostly just relies on gags and not really good episode script like the Simpsons did. As a Family Guy fan, I was able to spot a few neat references but it's still nothing much, the references are either too obvious or just nonexistent.
So yeah, it's a very mediocre game, the gameplay is nothing unique and all of the stages just feel like a variation of each other with bad pacing. I don't really recommend this game unless you'd like to have a quick laugh about how bad it is with friends since it's still silly to play a Family Guy game.
Though if I had to point out one good thing about the game that would be the soundtrack since it's based on the show's soundtrack which is really, really good and probably the only part of Family Guy that puts the Simpsons to shame, I have no idea of the composer of the show did the music for this game but either way it sounds really good and really similar.
