I love the futurama t.v show.It is so funney. I have done some reseach on this came and it is about Dr. Farnsworth sells something to the robot lady,Mom and it is something that allows her to take over 50% of earth making her the sumpreme ruler of earth and you have to stop her. I think it will be a great game.

I have been tracking this game ever since word of it came out. This looks like it could possibly be the best game ever to be based off of a TV show. If you are a Futurama fan, this game is a must have. The only reason I gave this 4 stars instead of 5 is that they cancelled the GameCube version of the game, which is the only system of the 3 I own right now. But I know that if I get a PS2, this will be one of the first games I will get.

one of the best games ever

Futurama the game is a must for any fan. The game is very fun and addictive. If your looking for a good game buy this one. The action is intense. You start as fry and fry gets to use guns to defeat enemies. Then your bender and you get to use special moves to defeat enemies. Then your leela and you get to use special moves and fight. I got as far as going to the leela level. I don't really know but I think I get to play dr.zoidberg next because dr.zoidberg is a playable charachter. You get to unlock secrets every time you find and free all the nibblers in each level. There are lot's of extras to unlock. Sadly there are only 22 levels. The game is too short if your a hardcore fan. Some levels are huge and hard. The game is very fun and will satisfy a gamer's play. I recommend this game to every gamer.

DON'T GET THIS GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

While not the best platformer in town, Futurama manages to sidestep the peg-warmer status usually reserved for licensed games with a fun mixture of addictive action, tough obstacle course maneuvering, and actual wit. In the game, you play three characters from the show, each with unique methods for clipping waves of space-age enemies: pizza-delivering poindexter Fry with laser rifles and shotguns, robot rummy Bender with spinning attacks, and cyclopean fist of fury Leela with lip-busting flurries of punches and kicks. Series creator Matt Groening reportedly oversaw the game's production, and barring frame rate stutters, a smooth blend of pseudo hand-drawn and computer animation combined with dead-on vocal work provided by the series' cast makes the game look and sound incredibly like the cartoon. But the game is not just a mere pandering to the toon's fans. The developers have managed to craft an enjoyable if lightweight ride here. Levels are short and sweet, backtracking and lever pulling are kept to a minimum, enemies are aggressive without being frustratingly tough, and the game moves at a solid pace. Then again, Futurama is not without its flaws, either. While button ninjas will find its platform leaping and jumping puzzles refreshingly challenging, those who aren't as hop-savvy and prone to controller chucking may want to invest in a replacement Dual Shock 2. Unfortunately, the occasional camera spazz-attacks don't help matters much, either. Futurama had a large cult following, and in many ways, it lives on through the game which logically progresses its look and feel. Fans should find the game a temporary salve for post-cancellation blues. Those not enchanted with the show won't be missing out on much by skipping it.

A game that stays true to the Futurama franchise!

Futurama, the game, stays true to the Futurama television show that's currently showing on Cartoon Network. The playable characters include Fry, Bender, Leela, and the infamous Dr. Zoidberg.

Futurama's controls are very simplistic and easy to learn, but most of the time when you jump, it doesn't seem quite as natural as in other games. The camera is also a nuisance. The camera moves with the character, but it sometimes doesn't move fast enough, causing you to die in some cases. The game can be addicting and even sometimes, frustrating. Each character has his or her own unique moves that keeps the game fresh and adds variety. There are 22 levels total and you'll be amazed how fast the levels go by.

The story is fantastic and the hilarity is there. There is 30 minutes of cinematics and ALL the voice actors from the TV show are back. The plot synopsis is that Mom has taken over Planet Express and she now owns 50% of the Earth, which makes her the supreme ruler. The planet express crew must stop Mom before it's too late.

The graphics are excellent, and the characters look remarkably alike from the TV show. The backgrounds are great and look exactly like they did on the show. Futurama fans will love running through the rooms and streets from the Futurama universe. The only problem is with Leela. Her hair color is a little different than before.

I absolutely loved the sound in this game. The sound in the game fits all the levels nicely. There's also remixs of the opening theme of Futurama which are always great. Like I said before, all the voice actors have returned. During the gameplay the characters will say a funny comment that relates to what you are doing, which adds to the comedic value.

The game doesn't have a very good replayability. Once you play a level, most of the time you don't want to play it again. The only reason to replay is that their are Nibblers scattered all throughout the levels that you need to collect. If you get all of them in that level, then you get extras, which include, music, cutscenes, and pictures.

To all Futurama fans this should be no question, YOU SHOULD OWN THIS GAME. For people that aren't as big of a fan, or never even hear of it (shame!), you should probably rent it or wait for the price to go down.

It's like getting an extra episode of Futurama!

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.
