Gaming News - October 2006
New York, NY (October 17, 2006) - 2K today announced that Family Guy
is now available for the Xbox, PlayStation 2, and the PSP.
From 2K:
Featuring the entire cast and creative team from the show, including creator
and producer Seth MacFarlane, the Family Guy video game turns the TV show into
an engaging interactive experience complete with even more of the outrageous
humor that fans know and love.
Developed by High Voltage Software, the Family Guy video game involves a unique
combination of arcade-like action, platforming, combat, and puzzle-solving as
gamers play through three stories that intersect in typical Family Guy fashion.
As lovable oaf and father Peter Griffin, players fight to stop Mr. Belvedere
from taking over the world. As Stewie, Peter’s diabolical young son, players
match their wits against his arch-nemesis and half-brother Bertram as they also
vie to take over the world. Lastly, players slip on a collar and drink a martini
as Brian Griffin, the family dog, and attempt to escape prison to prove his
innocence in a puppy paternity case gone awry.
As the lead voice talent of the Family Guy video game, Seth MacFarlane sets the
comedic tone in the game's world by providing his voice-over for the game’s main
playable characters, Peter, Stewie, and Brian. MacFarlane won an Emmy Award for
Outstanding Voice-Over Performance for his role as Stewie Griffin. To further
immerse players in the Family Guy universe, cast members reprise their roles,
such as Alex Borstein voicing Lois Griffin, Mila Kunis doing Meg Griffin, Seth
Green as Chris Griffin, and Adam West as the Mayor of Quahog.
"Family Guy is one of the most popular and outrageously hilarious shows on
television,” said Christoph Hartmann, president of 2K. “We are excited to bring
that comedic experience to video games. By working with the TV show's creative
team, we've given fans of the show a way to experience Family Guy on a whole new
level."
