2K Games sends word that the Family Guy Videogame has hit store shelves on the Playstation 2, PSP and Xbox.
2K, a publishing label of Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc., today announced that Family Guy, the first video game based on the popular television show, is now available for the Xbox video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, the PlayStation 2 computer entertainment system and the PSP (PlayStation Portable) system. 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."
