The new Glu Family Guy mobile game, Family Guy Uncensored, is out now and has been reviewed by Pocket Gamer.co.uk. Their verdict is that, “Glu has produced a quality Family Guy game that doesn’t disappoint in most ways. But it’s over a little too soon and for the money you’ll fork out for it you could buy a much fuller game, just minus Peter and pals.”
