Games Review: Family Guy: Another Freakin’ Mobile Game

You may have seen this once or twice.

The new Family Guy: Another Freakin’ Mobile Game is fun. It’s reminiscent of Futurama’s Game of Drones, which is basically Candy Crush. This game is a step up from the other Family Guy game, since you’re not collecting coins or time-based items. You can come back to this game whenever– if you reach a tough spot, you can keep trying, use an item, or just take a break.

The map starts off as a 3D version of Spooner Street, and there are some funny fourth wall-breaking jokes in the dialog (“this is a mobile game”.) Just like other similar games, matching certain items blasts out the entire line, which can be helpful. There are also column blasters.
The ‘Molotov cocktail’ which is four in a cube, falls and explodes, helping the player clear away more items. It’s really funny, too. Sometimes, Jesus comes and finishes your game.
Just like any mobile game, they’re always trying to get you to go on Facebook– and the loading is slow. But the graphics are really great– if you like Family Guy and Candy Crush, you’ll love this. Candy Crush is kinda generic, so adding the Family Guy aspect really makes it more interesting.
When you get a T shape, it creates an X-blaster. The L shape also gives you another type of power up. And when you mix items together, you get cool results. That’s always one of the best parts of these games. Stewie and Cleveland dance at the ends of the levels! And Tom Tucker is on some of the loading screens. The plot of the game is obviously a play on the recent food truck episode or vice versa. Typical Peter shenanigans.
When you start playing, it’s giving out booze to drunks, then it’s matching up condoms for Quagmire. Gross. When he gets all the condoms, Quagmire rips his clothes off and runs away. Crazy loading screens! Later there is makeup, kitty crossbows, just everything you’d expect from a Family Guy game. If you’ve been watching Family Guy for a long time, too, you’re going to enjoy a lot of these jokes.
Overall, a good time.
