A Futurama Game where you get Billy West, John Dimaggino, Katey Segal providing their voices for the game.......The fact this game is based on a lost episode......What more can you ask for? Just a few small problems......No Beer Power up for Bender? No eating out of the Trash can power up for Zoidberg? Why can't you play as Zap or Kiff? I like the first board where you walk around the Planet Express Ofiice and See Hermes with a Brain Slug on his head. There should've been more Futurama Characters that you can play as.....Morbo is in the game, but you can't play as him....Or Lurr leader of the Planet of Omni Perscion 8.............Still, this is a great game. Too bad the Simpsons games suck. Wait the Simpsons in the Arcade was Awesome.

Good while it lasts

It's a fun game to play, but it's very short (I finished in less than 8 hours). That seems too quick for a full-priced game, especially since there's not much in the way of replayability.

However, the game itself and the backstory are great. There were many laugh-out-loud moments, and the ending was hilarious.

Ultimately pointless

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.

pretty good

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.

I can't believe all the bad reviews this game has.

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.'

Fun, but horrible camera

This is a very fun game. Especially if you're a fan of the show.

The only real problem I had with it was the stupid camera, which was constantly wandering into awkward positions forcing me to manually re-center it. (by pressing the left trigger) On occasion it would even get stuck in such a way that the manual center function wouldn't work. Then I would have to jump around, or turn in a circle to get it to center correctly. On occasion the awkward camera angles would even cause me to die :(

Other then that the voices are cool, the story plays out just like an episode of the show and the graphics are well done for a game of this type.

Final verdict.... If they would have just spent a little more time working out the kinks with the camera it would have been perfect. As it is now it's fun, but very frustrating at times.

This game was quite cool from my point of view, the sound was cool. I just love anything Futurama though. The graphics were awsome, (thanks to the Xbox). The game was awsome, I mean, playing Fry on my Xbox has never been cooler.

The voice acting is great, just like the show. The writing is awsome. What can I say? Buy this game! You'll love it.

Your basic platformer based on a show...

If you aren't a fan of Futurama stop reading about this game and get something else. If you are a fan you may want to get this game. Its pretty fun, you are basically playing an episode. While it is fun it can be fustrating. The camera is akward and does take away from the gameplay. Also it can be very annoying trying not to die when jumping from object to object. The Bender levels are almost immpossible it seems. And Zoidberg only gets one level in the game.

If your a fan you might want to at least rent this game. Its a couple hours of amusement.
