I knew going into this that I was going to hate it, and I most certainly hated the Family Guy "aspect" to the Family Guy game, but the gameplay and overal structure had me more interested.
While painfully mediocre, the gameplay and level design feels oddly similar to Ratchet & Clank, which is certainly an interesting genre to base your licensed game on. While the game never feels all too fun to play, it's mindnumbing enough to last you the near 6 hour campaign without it truly overstaying its welcome.
Sweeting the package more is a bevy of offline multiplayer options and unlocks, rewarding constant progression and searching for collectibles. Unfortunately, the gameplay isn't nearly interesting enough to want me to continue playing this game to completion, despite it otherwise being rather easy. I messed aroudn slightly in offline deathmatch, then called it good from there, not caring what other options were available.
I seriously hate Family Guy, and just about everything about it, but I still endured through this playthrough with relative ease. Even though I rarely paid attention to the story and rolled my eyes at every half-baked attempt to be "3edgy5me." The only real reason I'd recommend and non-Family Guy fan to play this game is because it was developed by Heavy Iron Studios: the people behind Battle for Bikini Bottom.
