Thoughts On Futurama - The Game (Possible Spoilers)

[#200 :]

Bah. The ending was great. I love all that effort for nothing. Well, it wasn't for nothing. It made me chuckle. I win!

I bet you're sad over Leela dying, right? You wanna kill the game makers for killing off Leela, right?

So, I feel kind of stupid asking this, but how do you enter the cheats?

You enter them while playing the game, not paused or in a menu.

[#202 :]

The game was entertaining, so it wasn't for nothing.

To explain all the plotholes, simply imagine it as having been Anthology of Interest III, with one question by the Professor: What if I sold Planet Express?

[#203 :]

It seems that PEELers and CGEFers prefer the PS2 version over the X-Box vesrion. I just want to say to them/you: You fat, bloated eedeeots! Don't you that the X-Box has better processing power and graphics than the PS2.

[#204 :]

@John: I have the X-Box version. X-Box ROCKS!

I was thinking the exact same thing while I was playing the game. I was kinda dissapointed in the end. It was like we did the whole game for nothing.

[#205 :]

Yeah, it did seem like that. Coul've been better. But Quolnok has a good idea, in that we should think of that episodes as being an Anthology of Interest III question. And the cut scenes make up for it. (Excluding the ending.)

[#206 :]

John, you do realize that when retailers release games on more than one console the graphics are exactly the same anyway?

[#207 :]

Not necessarily...

On a more powerful machine, graphics may run smoother, or at higher resolution.


The real dumb thing about what John said was that he seems to think that the scores are indicitive of how the two editions compare to one another. It's not.
People who are reviewing it for the PS2 are not giving it a mark based on how it stacks up to the X-Box version. They are giving it a mark based on how good they feel the game is.
The scores for the X-Box and PS2 versions have absolutely nothing to do with each other. All it says is that people using the PS2 like the game better then people using the X-BOX.

[#208 :]

its a good game buts its very scripted so there isnt any freeplay where you can mess around and do anything you like.

You do realise that that's complete and utter rubbish, right? Go buy a game on Gamecube, PS2 and Xbox. The Xbox will have better graphics and than the PS2 version, and the Gamecube often outstrips both of them. Sorry but what you said was completely false.

And the point made about PEELers and CGEF'ers preferring the PS2 version, it might be that there are more PS2 owners in the world than Xbox owners. I own a PS2 but not an Xbox, so there wasn't much issue of choice for me :P

[#210 :]

the graphics are a bit different but it doesnt really matter cos the gameplay is the same and stuff

[#211 :]

Wasn't discussing the gameplay, or saying the better graphics were important, just correcting M0le 

[#212 :]

My favourite levels are the outside ones and look more futuristic such as red light district, uptown and New new york but after those ones is an inside one run bender run.

anyway what's the prize for collecting nibblers, all it says is collect all the nibblers in a level and you will get a special reward. see for yourself.

Yeah there's more PS2 owner's but Xbox comes after that (WHOOO! Xbox!) Most people I know who have a video game thing own a PS2 or/and Xbox. I own Xbox.

Does anyone have something diffrent besides PS2, Xbox and nothing?   

Edit: sorry about the double post   

[#214 :]

by getting all the Nibblers you get the extras for that level.

[#215 :]

im a pretty big fan of futurama, but i gotta say that the game looks like shit. never played it i can say honestly, but i never wanted to waste money on it

[#216 :]

It's honestly not that bad, I'm a pretty active gamer across genres but I'm a huge Futurama fan and it was still playable and fun. Now that it's quite old it should be pretty damn cheap, well worth snappying up at a low price.

[#217 :]

Also, Kazzahdrane, you're a little late to correct M0le...

----------

It's an okay game, and great for any big fans of the show... like me!     

[#218 :]

I definently enjoyed it from a fan's point of view.. specifially Bender's levels, but it was a tid bit too easy. Plus, I agree with Pojy in that it was a bit too scripted. Had it been more like an adventure/platformer like Oogie's Revenge or Whiplash I would have enjoyed it even more.

[#219 :]

I can't get past Leela's last laugh, and now that I've heard she dies (kinda glad it wasn't Fry or I'd be freaking out)maybe I don't want to finish it. Also, on the PS2 version, how in hell do you enter codes? what does the "down" part in the cheat code refer to? Really want the invincibility...Do you use the analog, and hold down some buttons? The codes I got (Tried entering them in the menu too, didn't work)must suck.
@GTW: Yes, i went to eBay and was lucky enough to find the game at all for $40 mint condition.. Of course it's near mint, sine the only thing i did was open and play it, not break it. I take good care of my stuff  ;)It'll be worth some value, not as much as mint though, but every day mint ones get harder to find. My mom thinks the person selling it probably got it some time ago, on sale, and just now sold it.

[#220 :]

Well.. I don't know if you got the right cheat code, they always work for me. (and I have the PS2 version)

Oh! And to find a neat glitch, apply the invincibility cheat when you're on the Red Light District (I think..) and use the suicide booth. Bam! You're invisible! I had a blast when I discovered that.

I would'eve thought they would have had much better extras for the futurama game once you got the nibblers for that level

Yeah, I don't really use eBay, but it has everything I guess...
40$ isn't that cheap though... especially if you're referring to american money, cause that's probably the original price.

[#223 :]

How do you kill that giant robot at the end of the level in Fry fights back

[#224 :]

Yeh, I just got mine off of Amazon... (after which I had cleared out every video game store closest to where I lived) I think it was about 15 dollars, I was told about it a bit late. Great price, though.

[#225 :]

I got mine for $25 in australia heh heh, it used to be $60 AUD
More than half price

[#226 :]

Yes, $40 American dollars is the original price alright, but I enjoyed the game. Oh BTW Bandit, you happen to have the invincibility code? Maybe the magazine I got it out of was wrong.. Suicide booth and being invincible, eh? Sounds like a blast to me too! 

[#227 :]

Oh my god, the first time I saw the suicide booth, I went in just to see what would happen (I didn't think it would actually kill me); biggest waste of a life I ever had.

[#228 :]

Yes, I did that too. You're not alone GTW.

[#229 :]

Same here! I just thought, oh what the heck? It was fun to try anyway.

And the magazine I got the password from the Tips & Tricks magazine. Here's the password for the PS2: (hold L1 and L2 the whole time) and push: down, square, triangle, down, square, triangle, circle, cross, R2, triangle, select.

In order to make sure it works, your character face should turn green.

[#230 :]

thanks  My book didn't have half of it in there.. when you say cross and down, I assume down, then left or right on the directional pad or the x button?

[#231 :]

Down- Down on the directional pad.
Cross- the X button.

No problemo! I've got more cheats if anybody wants them..

[#232 :]

Thanks again 

[#233 :]

Cheats eh...I've finished it yesterday but how do you get invincibility? on Xbox if you can.

Thanks

[#234 :]

If you do invincibility, what happens if you sink in some dangerous liquid like the lava in sun city or the dangerous sand thing watsit called.

Edit: Oh I've got to stop double posting! sorry... 

[#235 :]

If you sink you still die, but the heath meter doesn't show the heath depleting.

[#236 :]

OUCH! that's gotta hurt

Ahh it's OK I killed him

"I died the way lived, as a giant robot"
"Look what you did MOM, no one kills my crew except for me"

I hope no ones thinking of toasters 

[#237 :]

I really liked this game - I finished it ages ago but I still haven't found all the Nibblers.
(I have the PS2 Version).

[#238 :]

Man you guys are lucky.I went to Best Buy and they said that they don't sell Futurama there anymore,they used to like 2 years ago.I went to all my other game stores too around here and they said the same thing.

[#239 :]

I know, I could only find it at one store. I forgot what it called but they only had one futurama game!...

...and I brought it!

and in planet express you get tricked by that hermes's papper shreader trying to kill you like the suicide booth in levels 5 and 6. When I saw it I thought about the episode space pilot 3000 and I just tried it incase it get's you pasted the level. but i got killed    but it was fun to try
