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.

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.

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!

Playing this game is more fun than watching it on tv. the competition is tough and the graphics are awesome. i enjoyed this and im sure you will as well

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.

This game is awsome. The host is Louie Anderson and there are over 1,500 survey questions so you never get bored of playing. The fast Money round is also awsome because you have to beat the clock or time will be up. Oh, you can even turn the time limit for typing off during the game. This game deserves a full 5 star rating. Way To Go!

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.

This game plays just like on TV! You can even create your own family (neat huh?) or increse/decrease the difficulty of the computer opponents. The actual players think and react to your answers! The only drawback is that if both players in the faceoff do not get an answer thats in the survey, Louie will restart the faceoff with a new survey. Also, the introduction cannot be skipped (like in Wheel of Fortune). Other than that, this game is worth getting!!!

I love playing this game.You can even create a family choosing face,clothes and the names of the five characters.Also Louie Anderson is in the game.The questions are sometimes easy sometimes hard.You press in using the spacebar and you can pass to the other family if you don't have an answer.At the end if you win you go to the fast money round where there's five questions that Louie reads and you answer.Also you either play against the computer or another human.Lots of Fun and the graphics and sounds are great.

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.
