The game play is ok. Not great, not bad, just OK. It's your typical run around and collect stuff game. Controls are ok, though the camera has issues at times. I took less than 9 hours to play it to the end.
The graphics are OK, though look a bit splotchy at times on my HDTV. The videos seem to be way more compressed than they should be.
The sound is great. Loved the background music for most of the levels(would like to find MP3s of some of them). The voices are all done by the original voice actors, major plus.
The great part of the game was the story line. It plays out like a brand new episode with lots of great Futurama humor.
Example of the humor:
| As normal, the first level is the training level. Fry is sent to find a hammer and you're taught his moves as he goes along. As you wander around you'll find things like Bender on the can reading FemBot. When you finally find the hammer, it's holding up a large stack of junk. When you take it the pile collapses on you and "GAME OVER" appears in large letters. Scene cuts to the gang standing around the Professor's latest invention, the reanimator. It looks like a giant toaster. The lever twitches, then a new Fry raises out the slot on the top. The professor explains that he'd just finished it and had been trying to kill Fry all week so he could try it out. |
