Fans of "Family Guy" can join the cast of their beloved Fox
series--sorta.

20th Century Fox has launched into open beta Family Guy Online, a free
browser-based multiplayer game that lets users become animated avatars
in the mold of the show's iconic characters. Game can be found at
familyguyonline.com.

The show's writers helped inform the creative vision of the game, and
"Family Guy" voice talent contributed as well.

Players navigate a three-dimensional version of the series' home town,
Quahog, where they interact with show characters and each other.

"This experience is a digital extension of the television show, which
captures the best elements of the television show and combines them
with multiplayer gameplay," said Gary Rosenfeld, senior VP of 20th's
consumer products division.

The unit produced the game with "Family" shingle Fuzzy Door and game
developer Roadhouse Interactive.

Wasn't there already a Family Guy game that sucked?

Wasn't there already a Family Guy game that sucked?

You may be thinking of the PS2 (and presumably other systems) game,
which - well, "sucked" doesn't quite cover how bad it was (plus, the
PS2 version had a bug where if you were killed in a particular spot,
you lost your saved game and had to start over again).
