My friend Nico was trip sitting me one time and he was doing a speedrun of this before it kicked in. Then he said I reminded him of Rufus Griffin
not a good game by any stretch of imagination but I genuinely think this is one of the best of these adult animated show game tie-ins. Making the cutaway gags into minigames is genius and it helps that this came out while family guy was still actually funny.
Fun game, it's freaking sweet Family Guy, Lois! You switch between Metal Gear Brian, Streets of Peter and Stewie sections feels more like the games of its era (but that's not a bad thing!). I also like how they used cutaway gags as minigames now, invisible walls are done a little lame but oh well. Outside of that this is a really fun game as I quite enjoyed it. The gags are great too lol. Same developer as Ben 10: Protector of Earth btw!
Stopped playing, was gettin' on my nerves
This review contains spoilers
This is not how I hoped they would handle doing a Family Guy game. The Story is that Bertram plans to take over the world with young child minions, and Stewie goes into Peter's testicles to find out all he can to stop him, causing Peter to hallucinate, and beat everyone up, thinking they are working for an fictional character he wants to take down, and Brian gets accused of inappropriately touching Carter's dog, and has to break out of prison, and find out how to prove his innocence, LOL, but wait, I have more of an act to follow, first up, Stewie says he needs Lois to unlock the door, but Brian opens it normally, also Stewie says his mind control devices is intended for humans, and get this... he never uses it on Bertram, later on, nurses try to kill themselves by running into lazers, and they don't go in head first, which is the only reason Stewie gets a coil, Brian never asks for a DNA test to end his problems immediately, Stewie only gets to Peter by getting death to kill the nurses, when he didn't have to do that, and when they are concluded, they are not satisfying as they range from what you expected to happen, to I hate Peter, I hate Peter. The Characters are the same as the show, shame they weren't used well. The Graphics are awful, look like unfinished textures of the shows characters. The Gameplay has you make your way from one goal to the next with Stewie sections are 3rd person shooters, Brian's sections are stealth (badly done), and Peter's sections are fighting levels against people that don't deserve it, making me what to beat up the character I play as instead, Also if you get caught by the naked men in the shower they come after Brian to "supposedly" do stuff with him, and he should have been seen anyway, the game also has stealth sections that don't work when the camera covers up people that could see you from offscreen, also I didn't know morgue chambers lead to different ones, this game has cutaway jokes as well for minigames... and they aren't even funny, Brian's gets past the cops by wearing a lamp shade, and doesn't even use it all the time, later a dangerous kids play area shows up, and the treasure at the end of this rainbow are pointless large bolts. The Music is too basic to care about, minus the sounds from the show. The Family Guy Videogame is the funniest game to describe... wait that's not on purpose?
It's still funnier and better than modern Family Guy tbh
i would've kept going but it gets super hard for no reason
There's a reason Family guy episodes are only 20 minutes long.
Unless you're a huge fan of the show there really isn't anything here for you. Even if you are. You're probably better off just watching the show.
Sort of feels like the kind of thing that would have ended up in a young adults bedroom just so he could say to his friends "haha family guy game".

I played this a ton as a kid, and I'll admit it now. I had terrible taste.
The Stewie sections are the best ones of the bunch. The platforming can be weird since really it's only the shadowdrop that's telling you where you're landing. The shooting is basically Galaga when it comes to having to deal with waves, everything else is an inoffensive lock on system.
Brian sections are ass. The line of sight is inconsistent, so sometimes the enemies are blind and other times they've got eagle eyes. I also experienced a glitch where Brian would pop up on a table he was hiding under.
Peter sections were the worst. Sometimes his fight combos just wouldn't input proper, which really makes the game a complete nightmare when it comes to bosses, which are a simple Simon Says with broken inputs. The giant chicken and the Black Knight were god awful.
The humor is on a worse level than the show if only because a lot of their jokes are basically quoting the show, or when wanting to make a celebrity reference they just have to say "that guy who was in that thing with that other girl" to avoid litigation. And 1 "video games are hard to make you guys" jokes was enough, they didn't need to go for 2 so close to each other.
Let's just say that this game aged about as well as any Family Guy episode. Terribly. Do yourself a favor and if you're really gonna play it? Just emulate it. Do not, by any means stick around for this one.

This game is just... horrible. It really is. I'm sorry, but my god is it badly designed. Some of the jokes definitely hit. Stewie sections are honestly decent. The cutaway gag minigames are good and funny. I like how each character has different gameplay. And yeah that's all I have to praise.
The platforming isn't all that good during the Stewie levels. They can be annoying. The Peter levels went from being decent and fun to being incredibly awful. The beat em up style gameplay for him is incredibly badly designed. But oh my god don't even get me started on the Brian levels. They are so awful. Even worse than the Peter levels. His stealth levels are horrible. It made me incredibly frustrated through the entire time I played as him. Especially when some of his sections made it infuriating to go through without being caught. Also them gave him a meter to have him get out of the opening to piss and do.. other stuff that I'm not gonna say. Also why is Spongebob music in this game?
Overall, I honestly gave up on this game. I don't wanna play it ever again. Fuck this game. Never gonna play it again. Outside of the Stewie levels, the gameplay is entirely frustrating. Nothing to praise. Hopefully Back to the multiverse is better but... I don't even know.

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

I remember sitting there violently uncomfortable during the casino level. Different times huh. I was like 10
I got a PSP now, and for some reason, this was the first game I picked up. The art style is amazing, matching the show perfectly. The gameplay is fairly ridiculous, which fits the vibe well, but I found myself getting pretty bored with it. Not bad for a licensed game in the 2000s though.
I give Family Guy Video Game! a 6!

Metal Gear, Super Mario y Streets of Rage si no fueran mierda.
Le daría más estrellas pero Quagmire no es jugable.

Have you heard of the term "Fun" ? Yea, that doesn't exist in this game
This game is mostly OK but the stealth is pretty poor. It is funny though
Ugh
It got really repetitive after awhile. Got bored with it. I might go back to it one day here soon, just to say i completed it. Only because i like family guy.
- Saw dunkey play this
- In reality, a very repetetive game
- Its short length & wackyness is the only thing that kept me playing

Funny game with memorable graphics, surprisingly plays really well.
Es lo que esperas de un episodio normal de padre de familia pero con mecánicas, aquí tengo varios puntos:
1.-Los niveles de Brian que se vayan al demonio, que mal juego de sigilo
2.-Los niveles de Peter son un tipo beat em up y aquí hacen que un personaje op tenga dificultades ahí le doy puntos pero luego se pasaban de verga y había algunos enemigos que tenias que golpearlo como mil veces para acabar con el o a veces el enemigo te quitaba la vida en un parpadeo
3.-Los niveles de Stewie son los mas entretenido son un shooters en 3ra personaje pero cada vez que pasabas los niveles te hacías mas poderoso
4.-Esta chido el warioware que metieron aquí
Este juego es bueno si tu dios es Peter Griffin, si no eres un familyguytard tantito lo recomiendo mas por la partes finales que se pone mejor sobre todo con el jefe final

esse jogo só não é pior que o dia que eu tive que desviar do Abraham Lincoln
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
