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.

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!
