Sweet Jesus.
I've started to go south on Family Guy with the recent beating by South Park going a long way to further bury the series. It can be funny, but lately the random jokes have just been weak and the homemade comedy has been getting annoying to say the least.
I realize that some people can't stand what are countless random pop culture references and moderate jokes. I also realize that television-based video games suck more often than not when it's not a sports-based title.
The Simpsons, in addition to losing its last leg three years ago, released two racing games, because the first one was so God awful. The benefit for the company is that no one can tell the two titles apart on sight, so parents out to buy, "The Simpsons racing game, have a 50-50 shot of buying the shitty one. Now that is a solid business plan.
I can't see how Family Guy is going to translate worth a damn and this thing is sunk if the voice acting sucks. I have now officially put more effort into this post than I'm guessing they'll put into the entire game.
Whereas sports games have helped to push live sports ahead (in terms of forcing better camera angles and encouraging the on-screen scoreboard), other titles don't seem to make the transition well at all. It's a pretty solid bet that if the TV commercial for an upcoming game has only cutscenes and no gameplay, you'd be better served feeding your $50 to a goat, because then you'll smell like a barnyard, making for a conversation starter the rest of the day, thus providing more entertainment than, oh, say The Fantastic Four game.

I'm interested to find out whether it'll be rated T or M. Family Guy is pretty offensive for a rated 14 show.
You're probably right, it won't be very good. I don't intend to find out, though.
Just waiting for Snakes On a Plane - the game!
Play as Sam Jackson or the snakes.
That'd be rad.
Now that he's playing in California, it's time for "Ron Artest: San Andreas" to be greenlighted by some game company pronto.
