When it comes to video games that are based on movies Or TV shows, you can certainly do much better than "Family Guy Online", a short-term MMORPG game of 2012. The game has allowed you to create your own character and walk around Quahog, finishing important tasks for characters like "Bit" up the bully of Chris or "Help go out on a date".

It may not sound so exciting to you, and it didn't sound so exciting for gamers at the time. Therefore the game was never popular enough to justify moving out of beta. After only eight months available to the public, developers have announced they will close the game. By January 2013 the game was no longer; The closest thing you can play is to watch old videos for YouTube walks:

If I had to guess why the game never undressed on the basis of the game I was watching, I would say it is because the game has a little appeal for fans outside the show. You don't have to be the "Simpsons" fanboy to appreciate the magic that was the game in 2003, the "Simpsons: Hit and Running", but it is very difficult to imagine a "family man" to find something interesting about this game "Family Guy"-central game. It takes very little skill or strategy to achieve any of the tasks; For example, to beat Chris's fight against the bully, all you have to do is click on the bully and click the HIT floor button. As long as you can do that, you have it.

Unfortunately, "Family Guy Online" just felt like too much lazy grabbing to make a success. There were several coherent stories, with the narrative of the game instead of deciding on just a series of references to the show. Often, your award for completing a task was to have to watch a clip from the show, but if you want to watch "Family Guy" clips, you can already put the show at any time. The game was an ad for the show first, and a toy game second.

Meanwhile, the Simpsons has released another video game around it, Mobile, called "Trapped" where users had to design their own city. Described in ads as "animal dependent", this game is very fun (too fun, even) for anyone who requires a stable supply of dopamine reinforcements. I started playing the game in high school and I had to give up after a few weeks because it took my whole free time; Meanwhile, players will even talk about this game as drug addiction even today.

"I loved this game so much that I had to stop the cold turkey," wrote one reditor in the Simpsons subordinate. "I woke up in the middle of the night during special events to make sure I got all the collectors. I wasted and loved it. I tried to print my city for color work and faced problems, then everyone needed code to use the printer. "

Trapped lasted more than a decade before developers, EA Mobile, to close it in January 2025, and many of his players are still fighting the news. The collision of the game, who has 74,000 usersIt is now filled with inscriptions that complain about excluding the game and wondering if there is any way to come back. But similar to the "Simpsons: hit and escape", it seems that "eavesdropped" is not good.

It was a Sadalo to see both the two main video games "Simpsons", but both had a huge impact, much greater than the "Guy family" RPG could ever dream. Not to rage on a "family man" too much for Not to be as good as the Simpsons, But man, it must strive for them to know that the "Simpsons" overpowering even out of the TV kingdom. And let's not add insult to the injury, but the South Park games are constantly wonderful.
