I'm a big time Futurama fan. (Toys, DVDs, Lunchbox, Icons, Backgrounds, Sounds, Etc. )

and I'm not even gonna buy it.
It has rental written all over it.....until it becomes very cheap.
Which.....by my guess won't be too long.

I'm buying it but not at $50

I'll buying when they sell it for $20 and hopefully before that I'll try to rent it.

The IGN video review said that people will ost likely play it for the unlockable content and not for the game.

Even I didn't think the game was going to be that bad.
I guess I'll wait even longer to get this one than I first thought.

What sort of unlockable content does it have?

There are pics from the show and concept art ( the later one was mentioned but not seen )

I guess once you beat the game you can watch the 30 minutes of cut scenes and it plays like a normal episode.

Man I miss this show already and could really use a fix about now. My Season 2 set is shipping with my Family Volume 2 DVDs so I have another month to wait.

Thanks for the info.

I'm not a huge fan of the show, but I'll probably give this a rental to see what it is like when it comes out.

The character graphics in those screenshots look worse than bad.

Fry's face looks kinda strange, but Leela, Bender, and Hermes look pretty good.

So, has anyone played this yet? I'm like the rest of you guys: big Futurama fan and want to like this game (I really want to play as Zoidberg), but I'm not going to plop down $50 for it. How long do you think it'll be before a price drop?

Was in Boston this past weekend...saw a demo for it at a Virgin Megastore. It looked very nice. The animation was very smooth. I didn't get a chance to play it, but the guy who was playing it seemed to enjoy it. He also seemed like a greedy jackass.
