2K announces that Family Guy video game is now available for the Xbox video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, the PlayStation 2 computer entertainment system and the PSP 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.

Features:
- Voiced and scripted by members of the real Family Guy TV show creative team.
- Explore familiar locations around Quahog and interact with many beloved characters from the show. Giggity. Giggity. Giggity.
- "Freakin' sweet" gameplay switches back and forth between three popular characters from the show: the loveable Peter, the diabolical Stewie and the charismatic Brian.
- Funny, unique, and pick-up-and-play combination of combat, stealth and puzzle-solving gameplay.
- Interactive Humor ? take part in the over-the-top jokes, parodies, sarcasm, and random pop-culture satire as though you were part of the show.

...Heading up the eclectic Family Guy household is Peter Griffin, a big, boisterous, lovable oaf who isn't afraid to say what's on his freakin' mind - usually the wrong thing at exactly the wrong time. He lives in Quahog, Rhode Island with his wife, Lois, and their three children - Chris, Meg and Stewie, a brilliant, sadistic baby bent on destroying the world. And, don't forget Peter's well-spoken, cynical best friend, Brian, the family dog. Executive producer/creator Seth MacFarlane has the distinction of being the youngest person to be an executive producer. Family Guy debuted after the Super Bowl in 1999, and in 2004, Family Guy made television history when Fox ordered the previously canceled show back into production due to its extraordinary fan support in both DVD sales and repeat broadcasts on Cartoon Network's 'Adult Swim'.
