Family Feud, just like the Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy! games from Hasbro Interactive, is simply excellent. The gameplay and sound effects are just like the current incarnation of the TV show. The animations are flawless. The option to create your own family is unique and produces reasonably good results. Louie Anderson is tolerable on this game, unlike the TV show where it sounds like he is close to screaming. Overall, it's a game I thoroughly enjoy and would recommend to anybody interested in purchasing it.

I will offer these 2 caveats to anybody thinking of purchasing Family Feud: 1. If you have a slower computer, the game can act sluggishly. It was slow at times on my laptop (366 MHz, 32 MB RAM, 2 MB video card) while it ran flawlessly on my desktop (600 MHz, 64 MB RAM, 8 MB video card). 2. The full install is a gargantuan 600+ MB. While this shouldn't be an issue for consumers with newer computers, it is still worth noting.

Survey Says Again

These days, with so much popularity on game shows like The Price Is Right, Jeopardy, Deal Or No deal, and Wheel Of Fortune, people just can't ever say no to watching and playing these great classics at home, and as board games. It seems like they are still everywere. Nevertheless, out of all the classic game shows, there are very few that have still remained as constant as Family Feud. This show has still remained as popular as it has been when it debuted back in 1976. Well, with the show celebating its 30th anniversary this year, the excitement still is fun on television, and with a new edition for the computers, it has done it again in fun.

Family Feud for Windows XP brings out all the fun and wonderful excitement of the simple basic survey game. Unlike the survery says editions that have been a bit flawed for the DVD, this edition tries to go back to the basics, as you try to guess the most popular answers to the survey. With over 1,000 questions and a lot of hidden extras tht are just surprising and fun. The main stage of the game is reminent to Family Feud's 2005-2006 season, when Richard Karn hosted the show for his last time. The extras that you can unlock are also exciting, from alternateive sets, dating all the way back to when Richard Dawson hosted the show in the 1970's, to many different ways you can make your own family members. You can play by yourself, or with others, and have a whole lot of fun. Sadly, there are a couple of disadvantges to the game. One of them is that the computer M.C. isn't Richard Karn or John O' Hurley, the shows' current host, instead Todd Newton from GSN's Whammy: the All New Press Your Luck is the host. Also, another disadvantage is that if you own a widescreen monitor for your Windows XP, you honestly see the charaacters as they are a bit chubby.

All in all, Family Feud hasn't been a computer game, since Louie Anderson hosted the show back in 2000, and it has long been overdue to come again to the computer. This classic game is stil a lot of fun to watch and play, and I really enjoy this great game for the home computer. If you haven't owned the game on computer before, you'll definitely want to get this, and that is what the survey says.

I love playing family feud. I love watching it on TV (preferably with Richard Dawson) or at uproar.com. I have been tempted to buy the handheld Tiger version of the game but when I found out it was coming out as a pc game I waited. I can't say that I am disappointed but there are glitches. For example, I typed in phone and it didn't give it to me even though telephone ended up being an answer. In other words, it doesn't always catch a smilar word or phrase and so you get a strike. On another note, you can't skip the transition between rounds...when Louie looks at the scores. The player voices get cut off...even though they don't say much other than "cool" or "alright". You can change the level of competition but medium is pretty challenging. I was worried that Louie would be annoying, but it isn't so bad. The choices of families/characters isn't too exciting but the descriptions are pretty good. Overall, I give it a good rating. I have played it several times and have not encountered the same survey yet (out of like 1500). And if no one answers it correctly, they skip it and move on to a new question.

After playing the free on-line Family Feud game I couldn't wait to purchase the full version so my fun could really begin, but getting my very own game is actually where my fun ended.

My problem with the game is the inability to detect answers the player gives correctly that may differ in wording against the so-called survey answers, for example the player answers "in the drawer" but the survey answers "drawer" the game gives a strike for a wrong answer. A player can also earn a strike if their spelling is not correct because the game does not often recognize or adjust for other than basic spelling errors. I also found the graphics creating the family lacking in overall choice and variety, as well as sketchy automated movements that often give the simulated players simultaneous movements.

I did enjoy the ability to create my own characters with the limited menu offered as well as the added bonuses that unlocks various hidden treasures within the game when you start playing and gathering points. I am disappointed with the full version of this game, I much prefer the free on-line play of the game.

Very entertaining...

I give this game 4 1/2 stars. I feel like I am actually at the game. Since I seriously doubt I will be a contestant on Family Feud any time soon, this game is as close as you can get to the real thing.

My one real gripe is that Louis, as lovable as he is, can be a little annoying at times. The game has no way to turn him off so it slows up the game.

Other than that, I recommend this game for great family fun!

Never got the chance to play the game!!

When I first purchased this game, I was very excited. As a fan of Family Feud for many years, I was very happy to purchase the game so I could play it at home. When I recieved the game, the set up directions were unclear and short. When I was unsuccesful installing the game, I asked one of my computer friends for help installing the game and they were unsuccessfull as well. After a few days of attempting to install (and numberous failures), I contacted the help department, who proved to be no help at all. First of all, there is no help phone number in the set-up instructions so you may not call and speak to anyone. Only an e-mail address was given. So I e-mailed the help and they e-mailed me back a set of troubleshooting tips to try, all of which were not relevant to the Family Feud game. They even told me to try things that I clearly explained in the original e-mail that I have tried and were unsuccessful .I emailed them again (after trying again myself other troubleshooting tips I found online). The second email I recieved was a cut and paste of the first email telling me to try again the troubleshooting ideas that have not been working all along. I wonder if the "help" department even read my email before responding to it. I would not recommend this game to anyone, especially if you are going to need help installing it. If so, don't rely on their help! Very Disappointed!

this game is awesome

I have almost all of the Hasbro Interactive game show and board show games, and this one I can tell is going to become addictive. The only problem is that there seems to be a lot of waiting time in between typing your responses. I mean, do we have to flash back to Louie Anderson every 5 seconds to see him turn around and point to the board or pop onto your screen to say "Alright!"? The graphics are so-so, I think most people prefer playing with real-life people, as with the old Sony versions of Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy before Hasbro "remade" them. As usual, the family responses are cheesy, but that's how game shows are, so what else can you expect? The funniest aspect to this is that most of the time the videos of Louie are slow so they have more of a stop-start effect to it, and you catch Louie's animated self with some pretty hilarious facial expressions or movements. The questions are fairly challenging, but like the above viewer noted, you need to be specific with your responses or STRIKE! Also, what is the deal with 50s-sounding male/female role questions like: What do men expect when they come home from work? Some responses were: dinner, a beer, a kiss. Um WhatEVER. Still, it's fun and I'm beginning to like Louie a lot more than I thought I would. I have yet to win a fast money round session but hopefully that will change soon, as I've only played it about 5 times. Buy this game, you'll enjoy it and laugh the first couple of times you play it.

It is just so amazing how many flaws game shows have had when they become computer games and video games. The gameplay really isn't as fun or exciting as the reality of the actual game show itself. Not always in this particular case. With some game shows, they have to really seem to fit the right key. That right key came with Family Feud and Louie Anderson. Although Louie is no longer the host of Family Feud, and Richard Karn of Home Improvement fame is, Louie brought a realistic sense of humor that blended in uniquely and to the fullest sense of the survey.

With Family Feud for the P.C., you get a choice from 5 families to choose from to play for the big bucks. But, if you aren't satisfied with those families, you can always make your own family with the create a family option. The game is exactly the same as Louie used to host the feud. Still, he seems a little mild-mannered during the game, but shows a better sense of humor at the end, with a little dance he pulls to say goodbye. Otherwise, the game also includes several other features to the mix, including a question level difficulty, and a adjustable time limit on all questions. Still, unlike some game show hosts, Louie looks a little more realistic than the actual contestants. That is really no surprise there. The game also includes something that really isn't in the box, fun. This is actually fun.

I just still don't understand that when it comes to game shows making it for the P.C. there are always flaws. When it comes to Wheel Of Fortune, all you see is Vanna and no Pat Sajak. When it comes to Millionaire, it seems more like the newer version without Regis Philbin. When Pyramid was released in 2001, the game really wasn't like the actual game show. Unlike those game shows, Family Feud hits it exactly right. If you're a fan of the Family Feud and you have a computer, get it for the P.C. You will have a good time with it.

Family feud has good graphics, and it almost matches the game show exactly. I like how you can create your own family right down to every feature on their face. The game itself is fun to play by yourself or with someone else. One downside is that much of the time you use playing the game is waiting for the next question to come on. It takes too much time playing videos of louie anderson talking. It would be more fun if the game went faster.
