Family Guy:The Quest for Stuff

I got this app for my 12 year old and it was kind of inappropriate.First off it does have strong Violence and gore such as throats cutting and back stabbing,you can make characters do violent acts such as "Stab Arnold's Butt"(Though its animated.)It has plenty of sexual content such as "Porn her up"It has some nudity(Breast,Butts.)It has strong language in dialogue such as F--k, D--k, Hell, Porn, and S--t.It has alcohol references and you can build bars and make characters drink.But I would rate it 16+ but it is all animated. PG-13-For Violence and language throughout,including sexual references,Nudity,and some drug material

What’s It About?

FAMILY GUY: THE QUEST FOR STUFF is in many way a typical free-to-play time-and-resource-management game. You have to help the characters from the TV show build a town and complete other missions to earn both virtual currency and points for experience. The first few levels take very little time and effort. For example, it takes a few taps and a couple of seconds to build the first house, but to complete other structures later in the game you might have to wait days unless you want to spend real money to speed things up and earn experience and level up faster. In terms of plot, the game is aptly named because you're only trying to help the various animated characters get stuff they want by tapping on them, reading and hearing some dialogue, and then watching a timer run out as the characters accomplish a quest.

Is It Any Good?

Our review:
Parents say (2 ):
Kids say (3 ):

Fans of Family Guy enjoy this game, as it reflects the show's sense of humor and includes random, madcap quests. However, its lack of coherence and reliance on so-called "time management" -- a built-in delay in gameplay that you can speed up by paying in-game or real money -- put a damper on the fun. There are some genuinely funny moments that are entirely inoffensive, and even some of the off-color jokes are funny if you like that sort of thing, which of course fans of the show do. The core mechanics work well, and there are a few twists on this otherwise typical freemium title, including a lot of animation and dialogue. For older teens and adults who love the show, this app delivers what they would expect.

Did we miss something on diversity?

Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.
