Played this one (a really good condition one) at a bar for about two hours. It's a decent game; one that I would drop more quarters into. However, it didn't grab me. Unlike others will surely say, I didn't find the callouts to be that funny... I think FG humor is typically too over the top and once you expect "over the top" all the time, it loses its edge. The humor is more crass than clever I think.
However, the mini pinball upper playfield is cool and sorta fun.

I finally had a chance to play a nice one. It's a fun game with funny call outs. Cool theme and a nice looking pin.

Didn't really enjoy this one. The playfield was quite cluttered and the shots were repetitive. The Brian statue thing in the middle was annoying cos it seemed like every time the ball hit it, it would fire the ball back at a rapid speed, making the ball go out of play fast. The character voices/sounds were funny though.
Only wanted to play 3 games but ended up winning 3 more. Lucky, yes but also annoying if you aren't enjoying the table.

Great theme & art, cool modes, excellent call outs from the show. However Stewie Pinball becomes tedious - not as bad as the hell level in AC/DC, but getting close.
[UPDATE] Stewie pinball really does irritate me.

With the second mini pin on the top is pretty cool. The game is fun and surmised it's not higher on the list but that's just IMO. I like the call outs and fun stuff on the playfield, just a out right fun pin.

Family Guy is a very fun pin. It has very easy to understand objectives. It has flow, but can also be a stop and shoot pin. Lot's to look at visually. Does a great job of putting you in the Family Guy universe. The mini playfield is cool. I know a lot of people hate it, but it's fun and challenging to light all the characters, and it totally sells novice players on the game. And if we don't want pinball to die we need games with gimmicks that get novice players hooked. The mini playfield does and excellent job of this. The modes are great, and the multi-balls are fun. The set up for Stewie multi-ball is one of my favorites. This is a great game and I miss having it around. Would love to come across another one day.

Great game, I was really surprised at how much I liked this one. The toys are fun and the mini playfield is on of the very best. Not a huge fan of the show but overall the game is fun, fast and the callouts are hilarious. Great game!

Too much farting for my tastes, but I know what they were trying to do back in the mid to late 2000's

Great game with great call outs. I find myself waiting to plunge the ball just to here what's being said.
Not much in the way of flow for this game but plenty to keep me coming back.
Love the top left flipper. Can be a danger to use but needed to get that elusive extra ball. Stewie Pinball is a great toy! Love the modes! Death save is a nice addition as my current line up hasn't one.
Looks great next to my TSPP!!

I have been playing this game on location for the last week. I got about 5 hours on the table so far. I am not a fan of the show as I have never watched the show. The gameplay is fun although the shots seem repetitive. The stewie multi ball is excellent. The callouts are great if you have watched the show and enjoy it. All the fart talk becomes repetitive and boring. The overall gameplay is very good (fun to stack multi balls) but the theme does not do it for me. If you are a fan of the show then this would be a great pin. For me, I will always play it on location but I would not own it.

Great game with many modes that keeps you coming back for more. I enjoy playing FG on a daily basis and I'm not even a fan of the show. I used to think it looked cheesy with all the toys on the PF, until I played one at a friends house and got hooked. Now I own one and it's not going anywhere , if you can find at a good price buy it, you won't regret it :)

Pat Lawlor's penultimate machine, and possibly one of his best of all time. The three multi balls in this game are awesome, particularly Stewie Multiball- I love that Super Jackpot and how tough it is to get! I also like the fact that Sperm Attack is kept a complete secret unless you view it in the Status Report. Of course, the humor is awesome, the innuendos are fantastic - it's like you're in an episode of the show in how it does that. One final thing: if you're looking for good stacks, stack one of the 3 more lucrative modes, or Crazy Chris (CC), or *BOTH!!!* with Stewie Multiball (SMB) and watch your points go through the roof! ...of course, you need to have a good multiball while all this is going down ;-) Keep on playin'!

I'[m not the biggest fan of the show so perhaps that affects my rating of the pin, especially in the theme section. The mini pf can be pretty fun at first, but you are just wildy hitting the flippers and barely aiming, thus making it get old fairly quickly.
The audio call outs can get pretty annoying and old after a while as well. Seems to have less audio flow and more "shock callouts". Meaning, just random sayings from the show to be humorous, but many are out of context and cool to hear at first because you relate to them from the show, however they get old from a pinball perspective.
Overall, wouldn't own this at home, but would drop some quarters in it if only a pin or two in the place I'm at. Personally would prefer the shrek.

Usually mini playfields are not done well, this one is great, doesn't take away from the playfield and is actually fun! Sound and voice work is perfect, matches up with shows humor great. Modes galore and you need to do something different for each one. Backglass is lame, so much to do with it and its just the main cast with a one color background. Seems shots to the left aren't worth going for at all...
