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.
