The Griffin family from Fox's animated TV series makes its way to video gaming for the first time. Family Guy brings the wacky world of Quahog to life as players control Peter, Brian, and Stewie through various goals and adventures.
In this action-adventure, which runs like an episode from the show, players experience the story firsthand. After being hit on the head by a satellite dish, Peter wakes up in a hospital believing that Mr. Belvedere (from the 1980s sitcom) has kidnapped his family, and everyone in town is an accomplice. Brian 's game mode involves escaping the police station without being seen and collecting evidence proving he is not the father of Seabreeze, while Stewie 's adventure takes a platformer action game with shooting elements as he battles his half-brother Bertram to stop him from taking over the world.
The gameplay in Family Guy features side-scrolling beat-em-up fighting mode for Peter , stealth/espionage gameplay for Brian , and a mix of platforming and shooting elements for Stewie . The game also includes segues which translate into mini-games that will yield power-ups for each mission if completed successfully.
Family Guy was released on the Xbox console on November 3rd, 2006.
