Family Guy fans will probably go wild during E3 when more of the upcoming game's details are revealed. But until then, they'll have to settle for this scoop.

2K Games' upcoming game based on Seth McFarlane's Family Guy cartoon will apparently feature three playable characters, several different gameplay types, and of course, several takes on pop-culture entrertainment, according to GameSpot.

Gamers will be able to switch back and forth between three characters: daddy Peter Griffin, baby Stewie, and Brian the dog. Another cool feature is that each character will have a separate storyline. Peter will be trying to stop Mr. Belvedere from world domination. Stewie will face his rival Bertram, and Brian will attempt to escape wrongful incarceration.

Just like the show, the Family Guy game will be full of jokes about at pop culture, but these jokes will be interactive with the gamer. Gameplay has been called a mix of "combat, stealth, and puzzle-solving gameplay" taking place in Quahog, Rhode Island.

Family Guy, which hasn't been priced or rated, is scheduled for a fall release. More details will be forthcoming at E3.

Simpson's games are pure crappiness, no exception.. hit and run was frustating...

 » As much as I find Family guy funny

I'd have to say my favorite cartoon clip is in the Simpsons when they are looking through a book of criminals and it has Peter under plagerism and the guy from American Dad under plagerism-plagerism. I personally think that games that try to be funny have to be a bit faster then most games to keep the jokes coming. Games like Hit and Run had big gaps between jokes or got old quickly (how many times do I need to hear bart go "oh my overies"?)

entrertainment should be entertainment. Not a big deal, but just pointing it out. Anyways, I guess I'm kind of looking forward to this game. I'll probably never buy it but it looks cool nonetheless.

I dont know why most of you guys are hating on the game before it even comes out. I mean look what people said about silent hill before it came out, some said it would suck but that to me was one of the best game to movie movies ever. Resident evil kinda sucked to me as a movie but silent hill captured the exact essense of the game.......

Personnaly i think family guy is funnier than the simsons, although i cant wait or tha movie to come out. I think the faamily guy game will be a hit, the only thing they have to pull off is getting it to be as funny as the show because thats the exspectations. Ive been dreamen of a family guy game since the show came out. There really havent been to many shows to games besides the simpsons and so ima give this game a chance...........

Family Guy rules, let's just hope this doesn't share the same fate as Futurama's game.
