Fair game, but there is a push to get players to spend cash, for unnecessary characters or buildings
When I first found this game, it was enjoyable. I liked how the game featured the Family Guy characters, and how the game change at times, to keep things fresh. But things changed. Now, there is a definite push to get the players to pay cash, for different things. In addition, the player is prompted to watch videos, to gain clams (the featured in-game currency). Ive seen car advertisements, and other adverts which highlight games, which apparently TinyCo wants people to download. After a while I avoided clicking this option.
Another weakness of the game, is how quickly TinyCo changes and updates the game. At first, the updates coincided with holidays and other timely things, but after a while they were confusing. One such update was supposed to be a counter, or evil, version of Quahog. I found and placed counter copies of several buildings and looked forward to the expansion, but TinyCo changed things and instead began releasing things for Halloween. The in-game cash I spent to place these counter buildings, was wasted. When I emailed TinyCo to ask about this, I received no reply. Another incomplete expansion was the release of a firehouse, with options for Different characters to become firefighters. This expansion was started, but suddenly changed. Another weakness of this game, is there is an underlying push to get people to spend money. Certain buildings, or characters which are offered to add to an expansion cost an excessive amount of clams. During my time in this game, I estimate there were times where I was prompted to spend more than $50 to purchase characters or buildings, which would be ignored and unnecessary in the next update which was released.
Comparatively, the Simpsons game is (in my opinion), better thought out and complete. There are no expansions initially offered, which suddenly disappear, and Im not being put in a position where Im forced to watch car adverts or advertisements for foods, or other games, just to be able to play.
