Family Guy... the game?!

I haven't heard anything about this and I'm browsing some upcoming release lists and see it's coming out in a few weeks! Xbox, PS2, GC and PSP. What are the chances of it not sucking? I'll tell ya one thing, the art looks great. I might buy it for that reason alone. This is how Simpsons games should've looked instead of 3D modeling the characters.

Lol, you're just now finding out about this...

Anyways, IMO, Family Guy is mediocre. I'm not saying I don't laugh at it, but it's just too much child humor for me to enjoy. Shows like ATHF, Harvey Birdman: Attorney At Law, Metalocalypse, Sealab 2021, Space Ghost: Coast to Coast, etc. Are better shows that have way better writing. [/rant]

Damn... I'm going on too many rants today.

That's the best looking PSX game I've seen yet. Wait. XBox? Oh. Dunno. Looks like a bad version of SImpson's Arcade

That's exactly why it's so popular. It's a shame that Family Guy got so many chances to shine, while good shows like The Critic and Futurama go almost entirely unnoticed by popular culture.

Alos, I don't think there's a GC version anymore.

Looks terrible to me. I'd be interested in seeing what a good developer could do with the license on next-generation consoles, though.

Actually Futurama is coming to comedy central in 2008, and there are something like 3 or 4 movies being made as well.

A little fluff between the ears never did any harm...

I heard when it goes to Comedy Central, they're going to start making new episodes too.

Looks fine for what it is, these games are all about giving the fans a kick, thats what (all) futurama did, the story of that was an extra episode of the show (and a great one too imo). And all the little sketches in this will be just as cool to anyone that likes family guy.

Thank you. What the hell do people expect from something like this? Cutting edge 3D modeling and gameplay as deep as Oblivion? Looks like it might be fun, and the faux-hand drawn art style looks great.
