Thoughts On Futurama - The Game (Possible Spoilers)

[#40 :]

you are right, however on my first attempt at him I lost all but three lives because at first i kept jumping to the right. You can in fact get onto that platform first if you put your mind to it, but it doesn't work, because he never runs out of fireballs. Eventually i found i was jumping in the wrong direction.

Careful (because i'm low on lives) TOTPD

Kazz, if you want help with a specific part of the game start a new thread for Game Help and I'll be happy to help.

I dont think i'll need any help for the rest of the game even though i missed some of the nibblers on bender & leela's levels (damn, i like those cutscenes)

My verdict on the game: 8/10, its a good game but it can get frustrating sometimes (like on dr. zoidbergs level, i messed up about 10 times on it when i was doing well)
 I'd still play the game again after completing it cause A) i need to get all the nibblers for the cutscenes & music
B) the game is funny
C) its Futurama!! im a fan!

How does the game work? Do you have certain amount of lives? When you die do you go back to the start of the level or what? And what happens when you lose all your lives? Game over, back to the start? Or can you save your game whenever you want?

[#43 :]

I got up to Leela and she is very hard to control but unfortunately I have to take the game back from blockbusters. I don't want to rent again, and was hoping to get it for my birthday along with PlayStation 2 next month.

You have a set number of lives, and can get more by collecting your character's pick-up. When you die, you go back to the last checkpoint. If you lose all your lives, it's game over, obviously. Did you expect anything else?  You can only save the game at the end of each level.

[#45 :]

the pillars are really hard any advice? also the rock creatures on Benders level are really easy. Just press A and then do it twice more. Their pretty easy. Are the exploding heads on Leelas level possible to get away from?

[#46 :]

A question. So far i have found all the nibblers. do they just unlock the pictures and music or the cut scenes too?

[#47 :]

Yes davids.

And SwanMan3000, the trick is just to learn the route, though at one point you have to jump sort of the "wrong" way to land on a pillar that is obscured slightly. I think if you jump on the first pillar to start the puzzle you can wait a while for the later pillar next to it to drop down to a height where you can jump on it, thereby missing out most of the puzzle.

Now why didn't I think of that!!! Oh well I've done it the hard way now, and I ain't going back.

[#49 :]

i got all the Nibblers in level 1-17, five left

[#50 :]

I am royally boned, I got to the final boss ( i think) but i only have 2 lives left and its hard, i'll get there though

[#51 :]

I had fifty or so lives when I got to the last boss. All hail me (or don't your choice)

[#52 :]

Well, I finally got a copy, the only xbox version I could find, everywhere had copies of PS2 but stores were only getting like 1 or 2 copies for xbox! went to 3 different EBs here in brisbane and they were either sold out or had a copy but it was reserverd, the place I went to hadnt put out that morning's stock yet, so I got him to go out back and get it for me!

w00t! I likes what I sees!

[#53 :]

Hmmm cool Grim, I hadn't seen it on xbox. I'm still deciding whether to get it... I don't like platformers but.... FUTURAMA!

[#54 :]

Fry: I got all the Nibblers

bobbyKING: Me too

[#55 :]

does anyone have any advice on how to get through the leela inner temple level with the spiky poles going up and down on the walls? seems like almost every time i hit them when i jump!

[#56 :]

Hey Bobby do you get anything special for all the nibblers? like an alternate ending or anything. If you don't then I don't think I'll bother.

[#57 :]

i dident get enything Cube, but i stil looking for all of the valuables, that unlocking more stuff (its very hard)


P.S roll under them Emanon

[#58 :]

k, ive done the sun God like a hundred times and im just about ready to take the game back. does anyone know an easy way of killing him or anywhere you can get cheats for the game?

[#59 :]

first you jump to the first little platform, jump to the second when sun god attack you, then the sheald disappear you take the blue thing and jump to your left to the first big platform and place the blue thing on the little box, then you jump to the little platforms to the rigth and repeat it all four times 

[#60 :]

Call me horrible, but I find the sewer level hard, even though I have realized you get better with practice and i've only played for 5 minutes. The cut scenes are great- they're funny! The animation is smooth, and the voices are perfect. I can already tell a ton of work was put into this.  And the best part so far...the music! i LOVE the music! it's so awesome!  greatest original music for a video game ever! excellent, excellent. must play more but i don't want to spend all my time playing- must...go...outside!

[#61 :]

i dont call you horrible, first, i fund the sewer level hard too 

[#62 :]

Some parts of the sewer are hard. There are pretty much a few bits like that within levels all the way through the game, except Bender's levels which really are pretty easy but great fun.

And yes, you can tell that UDS really did their homework and took all of Matt and Co's thoughts on board. It's like a labour of love.

[#63 :]

i really hate the old new york level, i think its very hard, i hate it i hate it

[#64 :]

How? His shield blows off and hurts you. I haven't found a way to avoid that.

[#65 :]

jump over it

[#66 :]

When you pick up the blue gem, stay on the pedestal you take it from until the shield has passed you, it shouldn't harm you if you do that.

You need all the nibblers to unlock all the video cutscenes and small scenes so that you can watch the full episode stright thru at the end. I restarted as I did 7 levels and only unlocked 1 vid after the first 3 they give you. NOw I got them all they are now unlocking.

[#68 :]

to bad its one cutscene you cant have, the one in the begining of "Benders Breakout" 

[#69 :]

What the one where they slide down the slides? You can't unlock that cutscene?

[#70 :]

no, i ment the one then destructor enters the big room

[#71 :]

I find any game where I have to aim and shoot a gun hard. It's not the type of game I like, but I do like hand to hand combat. When I got to the sewer level I freaked out and I'm just hoping to get to Leela & Bender's levels soon.

[#72 :]

but there is lock-on targeting

[#73 :]

Yeah, aiming is really easy when you can just hold down R1. There are only two points in the game where first person view is required.

[#74 :]

and they are both in the last level

[#75 :]

Nope, one is in the sewers, and one is on the last level. Maybe there's another on the last level that I've forgotten though.

[#76 :]

My boyfriend and I played together (if it got to hard I hand the control over to him) and we only needed first person once and that was the last level.

[#77 :]

you need it to shoot to open the door in the sewers don't you?

[#78 :]

The first level with fry in the sewers is hard,dam three button controls to do the gun.

[#79 :]
