Unusual PS2 Title of the Week

Its Monday chinchillas, and therefore its time for another blog. This time around we are again showing another feature of this blog. Every week, we will reflect on one unusual PS2 game and discuss it briefly. This is mostly for comedic enlightenment, but it also shows what happens when you let just about everyone and their mom publish a game for your console.

With that said, the Family Feud video game is our unusual PS2 title of the week.

Released in late 2006, Family Feud tried to deliver a trivia experience to gamers world wide. The experience was trivial indeed. The game suffered from poor graphics, poor gameplay, and did not even seem to provide a good simulation of the TV show, which one would guess would be the goal. gameratio.com rated it #4 on its 100 worst PS2 games list(gameratio.com). IGN gave it a 2.7(terrible) in its review here at IGN.com.

Family Feud coupled a poor game concept to a terrible execution.

I mean game shows aren't really proven to be packageable as video games that people will buy. Even Who wants to be a Millionaire for PC was given away, and that was the PC audience which is much much broader than PS2 owners. The conundrum about this game is that the only people who will buy it don't have a PS2, and the people who have one aren't going to buy it.

This is why Family Feud is our Unusual PS2 game of the week.
