Summary: Ultimately pointless
Comment: After playing Futurama for a few hours, I realized that what I really wanted was just to watch some episodes of the show rather than mess with the game. Which ultimately is the only real purpose of the product reviewed here: enjoying the whacked humor of the TV series. The mechanics of the game itself are brutal platforming dullness, with all the cheap deaths, dull objectives, and idiotic easter egg hunts. Yeah, a lot of the gags are great and the original cast does the voice work, but gosh you can enjoy the same experience just by flipping on Cartoon Network and catching reruns of the show. Only recommended for the hardcore Futurama completist.

Summary: Great if you like platform games, so-so if you don't...
Comment: We'll start by saying I've watched every episode of Futurama and love it to death. I'm eagerly anticipating the release of Season 5 on DVD. The game's graphics and sounds are pretty true to the series, and it is done in the same sense of humor as the series. If it had been more of an "adventure" style game and less of a "platform jumper" it would probably get 5 stars from me. But I absolutely HATE games where you spend 95% of your time hopping from one platform to another, with each mistake costing you a life and requiring you to start jumping all over again. I think platform jumpers are a crutch to avoid having to invent more interesting and entertaining challenges in the content of a game. If you're the sort of person who loves those run and jump games, and love Futurama, you'll love this game. If not, you'll probably feel (like me) that it's "so so". I only got about 2-3 levels into it before I got bored with all the jumping and quit playing.

Summary: I can't believe all the bad reviews this game has.
Comment: This game is a blast! I mean c'mon, you get to be Fry, Bender, Leela, and Dr. Z! How cool is that! I admit the game has some flaws. OK so the rotating camera is a little hard to control and can drive you crazy when you get killed on jumps. But except for Bender's one minute countdown out of the canyon, you can take your time on each jump. The funnest characters to play are Fry and Leela, but the whole game is great. Bender has the best lines, when he picks up his pink rocks for money he says cool stuff like 'This'll spruce up the pimp mobile' and 'Dis'll go great with my gold tooth.'

Summary: It's like getting an extra episode of Futurama!
Comment: A full episode worth of cut scenes between the levels make it a must-have for any Futurama fan.The game gets better and better as it goes along. Don't judge it based on the warm-up.

Summary: Fan of Futurama? Spend your money on the DVDs.
Comment: Cel-style animation. Original voices. Cut scenes with all the off-beat humor of the original TV series. What's not to love?Well, in the "not to love" category we have: Weak graphics. Substandard (non-customizable) controls. Dumb missions. And a third person camera that absolutely defies player control.
All in all, I thouroughly enjoyed the cut scenes, and spent much of the gameplay trying to gouge out my own eyes. Thanks a load, Fox Interactive.
