I was so excited to see that Family Feud was coming to the Wii; the console is really lacking in game show games, and that’s a big hit with my family. Believe it or not, they got this one mostly right.
Family Feud, along with The Price is Right 2010 Edition and the upcoming Press Your Luck, uses the same or similar selection of 16 avatars for your player. You can save this avatar to a profile under your name and, while playing single player mode, unlock new hairstyles and clothing. The avatars in Family Feud are mostly the same as Price is Right 2010; there are a couple of different ones.
The graphics are pretty standard, nothing spectacular, although they do a good job of making it as close to the show as possible. Your family consists of 4 people, not 5: your avatar and 3 randomly chosen others. In single player mode, my family keeps changing. You start right away with a face off, and buzzing in is as simple as swinging your Wiimote down. You have 15 seconds or so to put in your answer — it’s not as hard as it sounds. Put in the first two letters, and the game will guess what you’re trying to put. (I’ve found that if it doesn’t guess your word, that’s not the answer!) If it’s a single word answer, click that word when it shows up, and it automatically answers for you. If you have more than one word, point and click those letters fast so you can get to the second word and hope it shows up. However, if you can’t think of an answer or make a mistake, it can be tricky to get something up there in time. (At least it’s not like the PS2 version of Family Feud, which was almost unplayable!)
For the most part, the top answers are good. There are, of course, some really dumb ones. We had the question “Name a singer known only by one name.” The usual were easy: Madonna, Cher, Sting. But the last two answers were Kiss (not even a singer!) and Elvis. Another question “Name a food you need a spatula for” had pancakes but also included spaghetti. I don’t know anyone who uses a spatula for spaghetti! It can get frustrating when the answers are so bizarre that you can’t sweep the board.
After you get 300 points (there is a sudden death where you have to get the top answer if you don’t get it in 4 rounds), you have the Fast Money Round. You’ve got your two chances, just like the show, and it’s pretty easy. We’ve only lost once.
Single player involves your family against other computer-generated families that have their own little stories. For the first five, which I’ve beaten, they are incredibly easy and generally have really off-the-wall answers (one family would duplicate something I answered earlier). Beating the family unlocks the next one as well as two new pieces of clothing or hairstyles.
Multiplayer pits you against a friend (or friends – this is the ultimate party game because you could have as many people as you wanted on each team); each of you need a Wiimote.
Family Feud, compared to Price is Right, is a lot like the game show. It’s fun to play with friends, and there are always a few laughs at the choices when you put your two letters in. I’m very impressed by how well it transferred over. This one will be a big hit in our family for a while.

Some of the questions are NOT appropriate for families with young children. We were playing as a family and one of the questions that came up was ” name something that children believe in but parents do not”. We have young children and realized that some of the answers could be quite devastating, so immediately turned the game off. Please be cautioned!! especially as the holidays are approaching.

Playing this game alone against the computer is way too easy. The computer family always loses and in a dozen games I have only seen them get a correct answer once. The fast money round is also way too easy, with the number one answers being very obvious and usually worth 60 or 70 points. Because of this you can usually beat the fast money round with only one turn and not have to go to the other member of your family to pick up any points. I had to try to dumb my answers down to make it more challenging. The two player mode was more fun, but I still don’t think it is worth the price.
Even though it is really easy to win, some of the answers are really bizzare. For instance, one question was about a down-side to eating peanut butter. Well, we got the obvious answers such as sticky, messy, etc., but we couldn’t think of the last answer at all. It was diharrea. What!!!! I’m not joking! Is this a common problem with eating peanut butter that I didn’t know about? I don’t think so. Several other questions had a weird answer thrown in too.
Overall this game is a kinda fun way to spend some time, and it is good to play with a friend, but it gets old fast because it isn’t challenging.

I love watching Family Feud on TV and always play along. The question in this game seem a little different though from the TV show. Idk, maybe it’s because it’s for a broader age group. And spelling out your answers is kind of tedious. I’ve played it a few times and I’ll play it again but I think they need to come out with a better version.
