    Unless you're a rabid fan who simply has to be in contact with all things Futurama, this game is playable enough to warrant a rental but little else.

    Played it, beat it, forgot it... Oh, and it has the worst unlockable secret ever - an art gallery of the load screens...that's right, the ones burned into your memory during the long load times. Gee, thanks. [Oct 2003, p.139]

    For die-hard fans of the series, I'd suggest renting Futurama if you feel the urge to see your favorite characters in new situations. For the rest of the gaming audience, a suicide booth might be a bit more fun than putting up with this tedious game.

    There's a code you can enter to unlock all the FMVs so you can just rent it for a day, input the code, and then return it. Don't say Alkaiser never did nothing for his peoples.

    Personally, i really dont know why the game recieved low to average reviews, as i enjoyed the game very very much. As far as licensed games go Futurama is definately 1 of the better 1's and i think Unique Developements Studios did a bang up job. Its litteraly a "new/lost" episode of the show with TONS of cinematics that tell the story. Voice actors are all present and do a fantastic job delivering the lines, the story for the game is worthy of it being a regular episode and the graphics, while not the greatest definately fit the tone of the tv show. Great game, and if ur a fan of the show, u'll appreciate it even more.… Full Review »

    I love the Futurama TV series, but despite the excellent humour in this game I can't play it. The controls and camera are very bad. It is such a pity that what could have been an excellent game was ruined by bad gameplay mechanics. Why are games still released with terrible camera controls? These problems have been successfully solved by other developers. 'Unique Development Studios' must be running on autopilot. A crappy game. I'm particularly upset because I love Futurama (TV) so much. Why have they defiled it?… Full Review »
