Free to play iOS developer TinyCo just announced a real with FOX to release a Family Guy iOS game. Details on what you actually do in the game are limited to the following sentence: “In the game, players will be able to adventure throughout Quahog, recruiting (and sometimes confronting) their favorite FAMILY GUY characters along the way."
…Aaaaand that’s about all we know. I suspect it’ll be pretty similar to The Simpsons: Tapped Out (Free) in that it’ll be a pretty typical iOS free to play game but absolutely drenched with Family Guy fan service. The developers are working directly with the Family Guy writers to ensure that it’s up to snuff.
The Family Guy game will be released in 2014, which is a pretty huge spread but it’s worth considering that these massive publishers rarely announce anything until it’s close to being done. Also, being free to play, it wouldn’t surprise me if it popped up soft launched in some obscure iTunes regions very soon.
For being " formulaic and monotonous " it deserves 2 stars.I'm sorry, but would reviewer ( without any dodging answer , just truth - yes or no ) really recommend this game to others based on that ?
I know I wouldn't....
Nah, 3 1/2 stars is about right. It's a decent casual game, it's just not Assassin's Creed. I'd recommend it at a lower price though, $5 is overpriced, even without IAP.
He had plenty if other good things to say about it. This balance led to the overall score. Guess there are some people who choose to only focus on the negatives...
Meh!!
It's really an insult. We were better of without it. When they can do all what they do on the console & then throw us this thing & call it a game.
That’s too bad. I’m a fan of a full compliment of booty.
Dat booty 😎
Im sorry for talking bad about whoever makes the review titles. You have redeemed yourself.
"...you’ll spend the vast majority of your time in ship-to-ship combat. Unfortunately, this is the aspect of Pirates that falls the most flat."
In other words, the game is flat. I was not sold based on visuals and the big name 'Assassin's Creed'. Boring, and I'm sorry for those that did go for it.
I know reviewers do their best to be as unbiased as possible for big name games, but...not sold. I'll save my money and time for something with more substantial value.
This obsession with graphics gives games higher ratings than they deserve.
I had such high hopes for this game, but the combat is just stupid. I don't care one bit about the Assassin's Creed name or that its not a 3rd person free runner, I wanted an epic ship combat game...and we get whack-a-mole
I have to agree with the review, 3.5 stars translated in a 7/10 score or 70 out of 100. Which means that it is generally favorable and has enough entertainment value to outweigh it's shortcomings but it's not for everyone. I've played a few missions and have had fun playing, the ship navigation is great and the battles are fun but a little too easy and repetitive. Plus there are quite a few things that Assassins Creed fans will enjoy. The story is no epic yarn and the price is a bit steep but if your a fan of the series, like the naval aspects of Black Flag and want a game to pick up and play for 30-45 mins at a time then I would recommend a purchase. Admittedly that is a specialized group but there are enough AC fans that fit in it. As for everyone else, I would wait for a price drop before picking it up. That's my humble opinion and I hope it helps anyone who is on the fence to go one way or the other. BTW, I highly recommend picking up GTA: San Andreas and The Wolf Among Us before even thinking about getting this one, those are two of the best games I have played on IOS, especially GTA, it is amazing.
It's alright it's not bad it's just a little dull. The problem is it's not Assassins Creed. As I've said many times Backstab from Gameloft shows it can be done but Ubisoft keeps puttin out sub Sega Genesis crap!
Too bad it's such a simplified, cut down variation of the real Assassin's Creed games. These big developers act as if iOS isn't capable of quality games, which is absolutely false.
I just checked and the age rating on this game is 9+. Seriously?! Google Chrome is 17+, and even the Simpsons: Tapped Out is higher. Why on earth is this as low as 9+?
Chrome is higher because you can look at porn.
And Safari comes installed on every device, regardless of age. And youngsters could look up porn on that too.
And since when did installed apps have a rating? You're an idiot.
Because there are no actual human avatars getting harmed in this. However the dialog in the cutscenes can be a bit brash.
Age ratings are nothing but fabricated standards based on a claim of protection, but are actually a form of censorship.
1 star because of the price...
This stupid crap crashes during long missions which forces to replay same stuff over and over again. I hope stupid programmer who wrote this code will be fired and will live under the bridge!
Finally bought this. Absolutely love it. It's pretty much what I wanted. More ship related missions. Just need to get better at the battle missions where I have to go through 10 waves of enemies.
