    People who are fans of the show will enjoy this game quite thoroughly and the cut scenes make the game seem like a never seen before episode.

    The graphics and sound are 100% authentic and the gameplay is perfectly in sync with the game strategy and layout giving the gamer a true Futurama experience.

    Fanboys (and girls!) of Bender, Frye, Leela and the Planet Express gang will definitely want to add this game to their collection; it’s much better than comparable software based on TV shows cancelled prematurely.

    Yes, the collision is iffy, and yes, the platform elements are vicious at times, but the end result is still better than, say, the majority of games based on, ahem, that other Matt Groening license.

    A fun mixture of addictive action, tough obstacle course maneuvering, and actual wit.

    The cutscenes are great, making an episode's worth of good animation here for the viewing, but I wouldn't want you to pay $50 and suffer through this hack-job of a game just to get to it. [Sept 2003, p.109]

    Is Futurama fun for fans of 3D platform or shooter games? As Leela once said, "At the risk of sounding negative, no."

    Being from Europe, I get to play this game before most of you guys in the USA. It's really funny for starters, each character has so Being from Europe, I get to play this game before most of you guys in the USA. It's really funny for starters, each character has so many catchphrases. Even the monsters are hilarious! Graphics are cool and it's not too hard to find your way around. It's not as easy as it seems however. Sure it doesn't take much knowledge but moving from one obstacle to the next can be quite tricky and you have to be quite fast. You also get to various checkpoints but have to complete a whole level(which can take some time) before saving your game. Entertaining to say the least!!… Expand

    If anything this game is nothing more than a long episode of Futurama. As a game it fails miserably. Controls are wonky, platforming is crudeIf anything this game is nothing more than a long episode of Futurama. As a game it fails miserably. Controls are wonky, platforming is crude and flawed, levels are a bit dull and needlessly frustrating due to poor camera angles in some parts.

    But the humor is there, the art work is top notch and the cast do a fantastic job.

    Overall:
    Don't bother playing this game yourself, rather watch someone else do it because as a game it is a pain, but as a lost episode of Futurama it's great.    … Expand
