The press releases contains only a few scant details, but the game will be a 3rd person action game that puts you in control of various members of the once cancelled animated family." From the article: "The massive licensing and merchandising program on tap will coincide with the new series launch for Family Guy on May 1st, and is expected to be one of the company's largest product blitzes to date."

Voices!

[Second_Infinity]

Nothing bugs me quite like a video game based on a tvshow/movie that uses the same characters but different voices.

"The talented voice cast includes: Seth MacFarlane (as Peter Griffin, Brian Griffin, Stewie Griffin and more), Alex Borstein (as Lois Griffin), Seth Green (as Chris Griffin), and Mila Kunis (as Meg Griffin)."

According to that statement it appears they will use the regular people for the voices! Excellent.

Maybe the voices will be more believable than in Simspsons: Hit and Run. Heck, maybe it'll be a better game overall... but I doubt it. Games made after TV/Movies are usually fun for a while, but not for extended amounts of time (for me, anyway).

Hit and Run used the Simpsons voice cast.

How come no Kent Brockman on the radio whilst driving? Not to be the pedantic Simpsons fan, but Brockman is on TV. KBBL would've been good though...

No. He goes "What are these doing up here?" Its /., the land of the nitpick.

Take Two - Nuff Said

[Kainaw]

I bought one game from Take Two - Lemmings. It didn't work. After hours talking to support, they realized it was because I had a wheel-mouse. They said wheel-mice weren't popular in their offices, so they never tested them. After an exhausing Alta-Vista (pre-Google) search, I found that the game failed to work with many PS2 input devices and would also crash if a USB device was plugged into the computer. Since they refused to give a refund for an unplayable game (remember, in-store policy is if it is opened it can only be exchanged for THE SAME game), I won't buy anything from Take Two again.
