Futurama (PlayStation 2, 2003)

Futurama is one of those games that every Futurama fan wants, until they actually get it. This is definitely a game only for the hardcore Futurama fan. It's a typical 3D platformer, with an assortment of characters from the show you can play as, with different attacks for each character. While the premise of the game is fun (heck, it's Futurama), it could certainly be a much better game. My biggest complaint about the game is its difficulty. I found it wasn't much fun unless I was using the cheats. Save points are too few and far between, so you end up having to redo levels over and over again (thank you cheats!) Level design is definitely lacking in inspiration in parts. With all its flaws, the only reason I keep playing is because I want to see how the story pans out, and I want to play as all my favorite characters. The cel-shaded graphics are definitely cool. The major plus side of the game is its Futurama influence. The dialogue is as hilarious as any fan of the show would expect. Considering gameplay alone, I would have given this game a 2/5, but I bumped it up to 3/5 because it's Futurama, which raised the fun factor a notch.
