Yeah, I haven't been able to find the Futurama game in any tangible store. Very unfortunate. From what I've seen, it looks pretty good. Anything with Mom in it is something for me.

Actual gameplay: Sucktastic Cutscenes: Fantastic
I got mine new from Gamestop/EB, I thought. Might have been Best Buy/Circuit City, possibly.

I don't think this store of yours carries it in Gamecube. Call it a hunch.
And worst comes to worst, there's always amazon/ebay.

Try Family Video if you have one where you live. There's atleast one copy on the Futurama game at every Family Video store around here, and that's the only place I've been able to find it.

Whoops. [SJM]Forgive me my friend![/SJM] [bankrupt]Never![/bankrupt] *beats SJM repeatedly* And your reason is basically the only reason anyone bought it... probably. EDIT: And thus Nix smote me mightily, for I had misspelled my own nick. Thrice.

The feel good story of this thread. So, do PS2, Xbox or GC ports exist on the PC yet or is it somewhere on the horizon? Cos I know a girl with an Xbox whose biirthday is comin up, she's not a fan of the show but I could buy it for her as an excuse to play it on her Xbox. ...

I have now finshed the game, and will provide a review for anyone bored enough to read it.
Gameplay(5)- This game is your standard, run-of-the-mill action platformer. There is fighting, shooting, and lots and lots of jumping. All of this action is pretty solid, but there are a few too many jumping puzzles. The action can get a bit repetitive. Also, there are some really unforgiving jumping puzzles that can frustrate even the most hardcore of gamers. Fortunatly though, there is always an abundance of lives, so you never really run out(I never did).
Art(9)- This is one of the best parts of the game, everything is cartoony and colorful, and (with the exception of a few glitches, hence the 9) the animation and character design is great. Level design is good as well, ranging from desert asteroids to the streets of New New York. Character design is also good. What you would expect of the Futurama characters gone 3D.
Sound(9)- Another great selling point of the game. All characters are voiced by the original actors, and of course they all do a good job. My only complaint is that a few of the one-liners can become a bit annoying.
Story(9)- Written by a TV show writer(forget which one). The story is funny and slightly suprising. What you would expect from a 30-minute episode of Futurama. All the main characters are present at one point or another(except Amy).
Overall- Would have been great if the gameplay had not bogged it down. In the end though, it is a must have for any Futurama/gaming fan.
I give it a slightly biased 7 out of 10.
Note: if i got anything wrong, or you disagree with something I said, well, say so. Damn that was long.

My only complaint is that a few of the one-liners can become a bit annoying. My biggest gripe with the sound was Leela's lines after finding a Nibbler. Fry and Bender both made comments about Nibbler's cuteness, desire to kill it, etc. "It's so cute, I want to hug it to death!" Leela's? "You go, mutant girl! Ooh, pretty!"
