There are two kinds of people that will buy Family Guy: Back to the Multiverse: One of them is a diehard Evil Monkey-spotting, Ernie the Chicken-battling, Mayor West-voting devotee of the series. That is, the true believers, those that can’t get enough of Seth McFarlane and his animated concoctions. The others are people buying this game for these true believers this holiday season, not knowing that they’re going to give these loved ones a short, hollow experience that they may only bleed kernels of fun out of while blasted on granny’s eggnog on the couch with the cousins.<\/p>\n
The game’s primary objective is clearly Family Guy fan-service. The single-player game opens with the television show’s familiar title sequence, and new animated scenes voiced by the series’ cast help structure it like an actual episode. While not animated by hand, the cel-shaded graphics produce a reasonable enough facsimile of the look of the show with a few dropped polygons here and there, making some characters look a little bland since there wasn’t really much in their design to begin with.<\/p>\n
But the humor generally falls on its face without the trademark cutaways and flashbacks found on a weekly episode. Banter between Stewie and Brian (who are the only characters available to play in single-player) is generally fine, as it is on the show, but once you get passed the cut-scenes and into the actual game, you’ll find that almost all of the voice work and sound effects are lifted from old episodes, and some of them with spotty quality of sound. Most are old-timey gems, like “All I need is a midget and some gin and I’ll be in business!” but said with such recurrence that you’ll want to sucker punch anyone that utters it to you again.<\/p>\n
Family Guy: Back to the Multiverse is clearly just fan-service.<\/em><\/p>\n
