    There's a large number of puzzles, keycard scenarios, platform jumping, etc, etc. For some this has become old-hat, but I think theres still fun to be found here.

    If you are looking for the next best platform game then you will likely want to skip this one or possibly rent it if your curiosity gets the best of you. Diehard fans of the show will turn a blind eye to these issues and simply enjoy the game for what it is - an interactive episode.

    The attention to detail evident in the presentation will please fans and provide a number of chuckles, however it's doubtful whether that much amusement comes from the actual game.

    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.

    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.… Expand

    This is a fun game if your a fan of futurama but if not, stay away. The cutscenes are funny as hell and the dialog too. The game gets a little frustrating sometimes with the control and camera angles. Graphics are a 8, sound 9, music 6 and the replay value will be poor. Who wants to bust their neck in a game and do it again? No codes for X-box version (geez).… Expand

    This game really didn't turn out as well as I had hoped. The camera angles and maneuverability were extreamly poor, and graphics wern�39;t very good. Actual game play was somewhat below adverage, and the plot didn't have much context. Overall, this isn't worth getting EVEN IF you are a fan of the television series like I am.… Expand
