Another review has been put up for Family Guy, and once again, the reviewer beats down on the game, considering the game so out of date that he would have expected to see it on the NES system.

According to the article, the graphics are bad, the gameplay is outdated, and originality was no considered when it came down to making the game. Overall, they have rated the game so poorly, that they recommend you forget that the game never existed, like many of the other Comedy-turned-video-games to have come out in recent years.

A small snippet below:

In fact, Family Guy could have just as easily been made back on the NES, given the outrageously primitive gameplay. The gameplay is split into three sections – you play as Stewie, Brian and Peter throughout different segments, and the gameplay styles are vastly and deliberately different. Stewie plays as a platformer/shooter, Brian plays stealth levels and Peter plays in a side-scrolling beat-em-up fashion. This wouldn’t be so bad if each style was done well, but they are probably the most basic one could ever imagine the genres to be. Brian’s levels are particularly lousy. Frustrating, tedious stealth levels have you hiding behind tables and creeping down hallways, avoiding the eyes of carbon copy enemies. The police officers sitting at tables have a few animations – look around, write on some paper and drink some coffee. Here’s a hint: walk past the table when he isn’t looking around. It’s insultingly monotonous and uninspired gameplay that can literally be represented the exact same way using some red blocks for tables and green dots for police officers. Wait, was that NES? Perhaps Atari 2600 instead.
