Family Guy Back To The Multiverse
When Stewie and Brian return to their universe in an airport, Peter (who was on the chicken ship held captive) came back with Ernie, the giant chicken, Peter's arch enemy, while Stewie and Brian went to stop Bertram, Peter and The giant chicken engage in a furious battle, when the showdown was taken outside Peter threw the giant chicken in an airplane engine, shredding him to pieces and presumably killing him. After the showdown, Peter then walks away, without knowing the giant chicken's eyes open, meaning that he's still alive.
Family Guy Back to the Multiverse
After Stewie and Brian make it to the town square, they are shocked to discover that even though they had dismantled all the army forces Bertram had constructed throughout the Multiverse, their town had been purged into chaos. After a few more seconds, Bertram appears with a weaponized Tyrannosaurus, and welcomes Stewie back home. It is then revealed that Bertram had not actually been assembling armies within the universes Brian and Stewie had traveled to, but rather was simply trying to lure the two into dangerous environments to get rid of them, while his assistant, Gus, was assembling an army of alternate reality versions of Bertram himself, which appear along with the T-Rex. Bertram then exclaims that he had finally created a bomb that can exponentially tear a universe apart. Due to the fact that traveling through universes creates tears in reality, Bertram's bomb can expand these tears and start a chain reaction that will suck Stewie's entire universe into oblivion. The most tears in Stewie's world are near his house, as that is where Brian, Stewie, and Bertram all traveled out of. This is where Bertram is headed for the bomb to activate. After the Tyrannosaurus ruthlessly devours an innocent bystander, Stewie and Brian arm themselves and battle both the Tyrannosaurus and Bertram's army. The fight continues all the way to Stewie's house, where two possible endings are present:
Parents need to know that Family Guy: Back to the Multiverse is based on the cartoon TV series Family Guy. In this game, players take on the role of Stewie, a baby who acts and talks like a grown-up, and his human-acting dog friend Brian. The duo must work together as they travel to a variety of parallel universes and try to rid the world of enemy forces. One of these universes is a hypothetical world in which everyone is handicapped and bound to a wheelchair. Because this universe contains enemies, characters will be attacking wheelchair-bound humans; however, these characters are the ones who provoke the players and because the universe is comprised entirely of wheelchair-bound people, these characters do not come across as being at a physical disadvantage. Although everything has a cartoon aesthetic and the storyline is very tongue-in-cheek in nature, the actual gameplay content itself contains a lot of violent content, including realistic gunfire and explosions, much of which is afflicted on human characters. In addition, throughout the dialogue there are many instances of sexual references and innuendo. There is a brief scene in which one male character's backside is exposed. There are also implied depictions of marijuana use and one character smoking from a bong. Culturally insensitive jokes appear within the dialogue.
The game picks up where the story left off in the Multiverse episode. The main story revolves around Brian and Stewie, though other characters will make an appearance.The game features a completely original story that sends the guys back through the Multiverse on a mission to stop Bertram.
The game is played as a third-person shooter. Stewie uses a laser gun and a flamethrower, while Brian wields a shotgun and a pistol. Some situations require a specific character's weapon to solve small environment puzzles and progress. Upgrades are provided by collecting cash and spending it at the multiverse store. Upgrades include for example improved health and ammo capacity.

I like Family Guy. I enjoy it very much, in fact. I enjoy the process of being shocked or offended (sez the middle class white straight guy), knowing that the deliverers of the gags almost certainly hold no such unpleasant values. But I do wonder how we'll perceive the programme when we look back on it in twenty years time. Will we still see its non-stop roll of racist, sexist, homophobic and disablist jokes as self-protectively ironic, as arch commentary, or will it end up looking as archaic and embarrassing to us by then as 1970s sitcoms like Love Thy Neighbour do to us now? If anything helps highlight the fine line on which the series walks, it's seeing it done poorly. And yes indeed, Back To The Multiverse is it done poorly.
Why they're chasing him I'd forgotten about two hours into the game. He's dead by the TV show's canon, but this is a version from another universe, trying to get revenge somehow or other. So the dog and baby team have to pursue him through the multiverse, allowing the game the chance to wildly change locations, while making it feel ever-so-slightly less weird that the characters are endlessly killing people. So you begin at a universe where everywhere is a frat party, and there murder college students, before moving on to an Amish community, where you naturally murder bearded Amish people. And by the third level it's a world where disabled people have taken over...
That's perhaps what's actually offensive here, beyond how inept it all is: the multiverse offers such amazing opportunities. The TV episode gave us so many wonderful cartoon references, not least the exceptional Disney sequence: 041b061a72
