It’s not giving us anything we haven’t seen before. This is the biggest problem with the game. Granted, the game markets itself as a sort of unofficial sequel to that episode, but even so, it still feels more like a retread than a sequel. It’s essentially the Season 8 episode “Road to the Multiverse” all over again, with Bertram thrown into the mix in order to add tension. It’s up to Brian and Stewie to use the Multiverse Remote in order to chase Bertram and put a stop to his evil scheme before their home universe is lost forever.ĭoes this plot sound familiar to you? If you are a Family Guy fan, it should. Stewie’s evil(er) half-brother Bertram is hopping between different universes in order to raise an army to destroy Stewie’s home universe.
