Not what I expected

This game is not as fun as it might seem like. It's pretty cheesy actually. The animations repeat themselves too often and the game play is just not that great.

Classic Game

Everything you would expect from Family Feud is in this game. You even have opportunites to "unlock" other stages, meaning: the game has changed over the years... the stage itself and the host. You can go back to the 1970 stage and host... kinda cool...

One bad thing is that if you don't spell out the answer correctly you will get it wrong. I kind of expected that though, thats how these games usually work.

If you like Family Feud, do not ruin any good memories you have of the game show by playing this game. I have only played this about 4 times so far, but I am already fed up with it. Here's my list of what I hate about it so far:
Nit-picking answers. I answered "bike" for a way to get to school, but it X'd me and the answer ended up being "bicycle."
Ridiculously hard computer opponents on the "average" setting. I'm not dumb, but I felt that way after losing three times in a row.
Fast money round does not give enough time to type in the answers. This is very frustrating. It wouldn't be a problem if I had a keyboard attached to my PS2, but I don't.
Overall slow gameplay (except for not having enough time to answer the questions).
Completely bogus surveys - even Americans wouldn't answer surveys this idiotically.
Conclusion: Absolutely no fun. Completely frustrating.

Not Terrible, But not great, good, or even fair

Family Feud is overall a good game, but as many people have said before, there are quite a few glitches: the host repeats thing to much(not so much a glitch), occasional recurring in-game freezing, in order to think about your answer you have to pause the game just to get enough time otherwise you'll run out of the 8 seconds they give you. graphics are pretty cheap, and like everybody elese said it could have been better, however good things include a family creator/editor tool that flat out ripped off "The Sims" series although this is still fun to use, and multiplayer is also pretty fun to play with a friend or family member.

However, no matter how good or hyped up something is (even if it achieves that hype) what goes most come Roamn-Empire-Down. What i'm saying is this game gets boring after a few plays and I don't mean boring for the rest of the day and then the next day you wake up and say "LET"S PLAY SO AND SO I CAN'T WAIT!" I mean boring as in you will want to play it once every other month (if that). I got mine back in October 2007 and I touched it maybe but 6 times. and haven't played it now since early-January? i believe.

OVERALL:it's not a terrible game, but there are MUCH BETTER games out there, and I would reccommend that any fan of Family Feud, or Video game simulation-style games BUY THIS, however get it "used & new" for cheap price because getting it for the full price will make you rethink your motives on that day. Not Terrible, But not great, good, or even fair

cool game, but would be easier with a keyboard controller, due to the fast typing required to answer the questions.

I received this game as a gift from Santa and I was so excited because my family was coming over later that day. Well I popped in the game to play with my younger cousins and we started playing and throwing out answers and before you know it the whole family was playing and I mean thge whole family 48 of us and we had a blast.I definetly recomend this game especially if you want to sit back and have a great time.

Survey Says, "Big Disappointment"

Why can't a good version of this game be created for Playstation? The game freezes up. I noticed it always happens after you play the Fast Money Round. You can save your progress, then you are asked if you want to play again. If you say yes, the game freezes up when you buzz in on the first question after you type in your answer. Also, you have to be a super fast typer or you run out of time. You can type in an answer and get a strike, but then your opponent can type almost the same exact answer and get it right. Graphics are not as impressive as they could be. The only items you can unlock are different studios and accessories for team members. The family creator makes some real ugly characters, too.

Fun with a few flaws

First, let's get this out of the way: its Family Feud, so if you don't like the show, you probably won't like the game. I like the show, and my wife loves it, so I got this game for her. I wanted this game to be fun, and it is, but there are a few flaws.

First, there is the issue of putting in words. You can put in your guesses with the ps2 controller, but it is rather tedious. It is especially hard in fast money, where it is all but impossible to put in 5 answers in 20 seconds (in the games defense, the clock stops when you put letters in, but it isn't enough). Realistically, you need a keyboard.

Second, there is the problem of making the game understand the things we put into it. It has an okay spell checker, and if has an iffy thesaurus. A few examples - One answer was Brittney Spears, we put in Spears, it took that. One answer was shower; we put in bath, no go. At another point, we needs to put in tailoring, we put in taylor, no go. At another point, the question was "Something people say about money", we put "evil", no go, put "root of evil", took that. Very frustrating.

And then there are the glitches. At least 3 times while playing, we have been in a situation where the host says, "Let's see what the survey says!" and then the game locks.

Don't get me wrong here. I just got done trashing the game, but it has some good points. It is a fun game, despite these flaws, and hey, it's only $20.

Lame

I wanted this game to be good--I really wanted it to be a lot of fun. It fails to meet my expectations simply because the game is BUGGY! Examples:

1: During the fast money round, a contestant can enter APPLE for 32 points for the question, "name a kind of pie". The same question for the 2nd contestant can be answered with APPLES (the plural form of the first contestant's answer) and the game would award 32 points...again...no buzzer, no nothing. I first noticed this when the question, "name something you wipe your mouth with" was asked, and I answered "napkin" and received 82 points. The 2nd contestant answered "towel" and received 82 points. Clearly the system recognizes that "napkin" and "towel" are the same answer, but it did not buzz the repeated answer. Furthermore, it didn't catch that a survey of 100 people cannot yield 164 points.
2. As another reviewer noted, the system can't recognize that "grandparent" and "grandma" should probably be considered the same answer. But of course, we answered "grandparent" and got the dreaded X while the answer "grandma" was on the board.
3. The game locks up. Randomly. For no apparent reason. Need to reboot the whole thing to get it back up again, and data is lost along the way (if you had won any 'bling' before the crash, for example).

I was extremely excited to play this game, but overall, it's a disappointment because of the obvious bugs. One could argue that for $19.99, expectations should be low, but I don't think having low expectations should allow for blatant bugs to pass whoever QA'd this game before launching it.
