Goofs

It was established very early on just one small ball of dark matter weighs to much one person can barely carry it, yet on the Sun planet, two servants each wheel out rickety wheelbarrows full of them with barely any effort.

User Reviews

It's just OK

I was expecting a lot more from this game. The good things are that the original voice actors are all present, and the usual flavor and all the quirky, humorous things that make Futurama awesome are still there. The music mix is great.

Unfortunately, it plays like a 2015 app at best. I bought this for the original Xbox and was really excited. The unresponsive controls, however, made it near impossible for me to play. I gave up after the first real level (after the intro/tutorial). Even Futurama jokes aren't worth repeated, hair- pulling, controller-throwing fails that stem from the (lack of) game mechanics. Hopefully I'll be able to watch a play through, because I love all things Futurama.

I'll be taking this to my local buy/sell/trade place in hopes that someone with better motor skills than mine will enjoy it.
