  PS2 VIDEO GAME REVIEWS... Futurama __________|
Futurama puts you in control of several characters from the Fox cartoon series of the same name.
What surprised me the most about the voices in the game was that when your character speaks one of his/her/its few sayings, not only does the character display in the corner of the screen speak, but the character in the level will be moving its lips as well.
As far as the music was concerned, the original theme song is in the game and available to play in the jukebox (as well as various other songs that can be unlocked).

 Futurama | Game Reviews | SCI FI Weekly
Futurama may have ended its long, haphazard run on Fox this summer, but fans of the animated science-fiction comedy can still catch one last outing of the Planet Express gang in the form of a video game.
Futurama is a mildly amusing game that's faithful to its source material but misses opportunities for humor and is encumbered by mediocre gameplay.
In the game's first act, Fry gets to pilot a Star Wars-inspired chicken walker, and in the second there are cacti that lash out at Bender in a manner reminiscent of Half-Life's hook-beaked tentacles, but these jokes are not enough to sustain players when they're trying to jump past their hundredth obstacle.

Futurama is a 3D platform game based on the science fiction cartoon series Futurama.
Fry has an accident at the start of the game and wakes believing he almost died, and is then told that he did die and that he is just a clone).
The game ends the way it began, returning to Level 1 and completing the circle in the timeline (thus creating an infinite loop).

 Futurama Season 3 DVD Review - www.impulsegamer.com -
Futurama is one of those unlucky shows that never quite made it on Australian television and is only shown in small amounts at unexpected times such as 10:30pm or 11:30pm and nights.
Futurama could be considered as the "adult" version of the Simpsons that although many of the gags are visual, there is also a variety of humour that is hidden away in innuendo and pays homage to a variety of shows from the 20th century.
In conclusion, Futurama season 3 is a must own for Futurama or Simpsons fans and is probably the most wittiest cartoon series to date that adults and children can enjoy.

He is very keen to extend the life of Futurama through the game and he and other members of the Curiosity Company have given the team and the game a lot of support.
The game will be released with a teen rating so with that in mind the game is tailored to a slightly younger audience.
The game is very linear therefore we give the player set characters to play at set points in the game/story etc. Therefore you cannot switch between the playable characters as you only ever get given one playable character to control at any given time.

 Futurama for Xbox Review - Xbox Futurama Review
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.
The best feature of the game, without any shadow of a doubt, is that the voice actors and writers from the show all lent their talents to the creation of the game's story.
In-game cutscenes play just like segments of the cartoon, which is also aided by the fact that the script was written by the same team that writes the show.

 GameSpy.com - Review
Back around the sixteenth century, a wise soul concluded: "The road to Hell is paved with good intentions." Had that dude been alive today, he might have substituted "games based on pop licenses" as the paving material.
I'm to the point where I don't even feel like I'm really gaming unless I have my Xbox Live headset on and am tooling up some distant competitor, so the lack of even a split-screen fragfest mode to let you shoot up a buddy or two is a real disappointment.
That said, Futurama, the game, is still one of the funnier discs you'll pop into your big fl box -- mainly because it does such a good job of goofing on a lot of what we hold sacred about our games.

However the game suddenly dawns on you and you realise it's just way too repetitive, we've all done it a million times better before and then you begin to question why developers just cant get Simpsons or Futurama right....

But with over 25 minutes of exclusive footage crammed into the game, this is the effectively the last ever episode of Futurama and it is completely interactive.
With cel-shaded graphics, original cast voiceovers and a script penned by the series' Emmy-winning scribes, Futurama is a must for fans of the show.
Still, for all its shortcomings, the game is a nigh-on perfect use of the license, delivering a fine line in plot, visuals and one-liners.

 Review: Futurama for PS2 on Gamepro.com.
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.
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.
Futurama had a large cult following, and in many ways, it lives on through the game which logically progresses its look and feel.

The game offers more extras than you can shake a stick at, too, which means that fans of the series are going to want to play the game the full way through.
Futurama, the game, stays true to the Futurama television show that's currently showing on Cartoon Network.
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.

However, the game play is a TOTAL dissapointment.
I am a futurama freak, love it, yet I would give it a five out of ten, saved only by the occasionally odd decent section (the alien homage and the chickenwalker being stand outs) and the beautifully annimated and authentic cut scenes.
I really really hope they edit all the cutscenes into a "lost" episode on one of the two remaining dvds yet to be released.

As an unaired Futurama episode, it’s swell — it feels like the real thing, and the funny parts are just as funny as on the show.
The biggest problem by far is the camera, which has an annoying tendency to whip around unexpectedly at the worst possible moment, causing your character to move in a different direction than you intended.
Those two sets of levels also contain most of the in-game humor; the later levels are much more typical platformer environments without a lot of funny stuff in the background.
