I Finally Played The Futurama Game... I Regret My Decisions

- Futurama is easily my all-time favorite show. It's one of the few things I've been able to enjoy equally as much since the day I started watching it. I heard it once said that Futurama has such a broad sci-fi concept that it's inaccurate to even say the sky's the limit when it comes to the subject matter of the show. It's more accurate to say that all of space and time is the limit. And they really did take advantage. Each episode was packed with boundless imagination, wit, and not an unreasonable amount of heart. No show that I can think of can make you laugh and make you cry with the same frequency as Futurama. I have known about the Futurama game for a very long time and I always wanted to play it, but I was never able to because this is a game that was rare, and very expensive, even at the point when PS2 games were dirt cheap, this one was still 60 to 80 dollarydoos, and that price has only shot up and up. But as they say, life finds a way. Let's do this.

In an alternate universe somewhere there's probably an amazing Futurama game in the vein of Ratchet & Clank, full of vibrant planets and tons of weapons and gadgets that the Professor steadily gives you.
I'd play the heck outta that...if it existed...
They need to get the SpongeBob treatment. We're Battle for Bikini Bottom was revamped
On top of that, treating “space travel” as a series of hub-worlds via the Planet Express ship, in a similar manner to A Crack in Time’s take on it, (complete with radio stations & talk-shows)
Tbh the only thing about the revival that bugs me is how I can tell the VAs are straining themselves doing the voices a bit more compared to the earlier seasons. Not a fault of anyone, just a reality of time.
IDK don't about that, the Simpsons VAs are seriously showing their age, Marge sounds like she's wasting away from cancer and Bart sounds like a chain-smoker now. The Futurama revival is hit or miss for me, some episodes are as good as the original run, but then you get retconed stinkers like "Game of Tones" where suddenly Fry misses his mother who suddenly was affectionate for him, oh and they have Seymor his dog do a Brian Griffin gag holding a martini glass which made me cringe.
That and about half the episodes were boring.
The revival also definitely has something up with it's animation that I can't put my finger on. It gives me uncanny valley vibes
And the writers are creatively inept now.. 😢
Too many damn reboots!
"This game is brought to you by emulation."
Nintendo: Wait. That's illegal.
Too funny 😂
When I first played this as a little kid, I spent so long trying to figure out how to get the hammer. Grabbing it would obviously kill you, so there must be another way.
I eventually gave up, grabbed it, died, saw the "GAME OVER" screen, sighed, then laughed like hell when the cutscene that explains respawning played.
It should have been like Crazy Taxi doing deliveries across the galaxy with the platforming being on the planet surfaces
They barely even do deliveries in the actual show. They even make jokes about how they're a delivery company that doesn't do deliveries.
@@ashblossomandjoyoussprung.9917 they also don't platform much in the show.....
I’m a bit surprised there was no mention of “the” Easter egg
15:17 oh no I understood that reference😔
It also involved a robot and bunch of rock golems, right?
Curse you, memory.
I didn't expect this video to make me want a Futurama Battlefront.
This is definitely not a “shut up and take my money” kind of game
10:23
Mass Effect engine + Futurama skin = 🤤
Hahaha 😂
Throw in a sprinkle of death stranding and we are gold brother
I look back on this game fondly simply because I look back on the sixth generation of consoles fondly and to me this game is the absolute epitome of sixth gen.
A better idea for a game based off Futurama is why not have it be a point and click Telltale game where you play as the main three (Fry, Lela and Bender)
Is Telltale games still around? I thought they went down.
@@PureMaddnessOne They're kind of are, they did a game one the expanse recently, and they're still working on Wolf among us 2
@@MediaGhost_ Thought Wolf Among Us 2 was canceled. I hope that 1 will be better than some of the latter games.
@@PureMaddnessOne they were saved by another company, Skybound I believe?
The old higher ups at telltale ran the business into the ground and nearly killed it after tons of lay offs but they still exist now in a much smaller scale and diminished presence.
I want to play as Dr. Zoidberg!
On the topic of 3D conversions of 2D characters, I think Futurama itself shows the difficulty of that equally as well. Lots of the earlier seasons had fairly obvious 3D portions, and they only got less obvious once the staff were more experienced and the technology got more advanced
The Simpsons is also now nearly completely rendered in a 3D Environment yet it appears to be 2D for the most part. This is done so well that it looks to be 2D but if you look very closely, you can see it is actually 3D. A better and more obvious example is Family Guy which uses the same technique but shows the 3D part a bit more.
So bringing 2D into 3D is possible and used by The Simpsons right now. So they could use that same technology and make a game using it, meaning the game would look EXCATLY the same as the show but you would be able to control the characters etc. But, I doubt that will ever happen.
The revival is good. They still respected what the show was/is (unlike some revival shows).
The game was canon ending when the show was being canceled originally, but it is interesting that the game is made in such way that it could continue after it.
But as it 1st and only videogame based on show (discounting the mobile games) it is a decent attempt.
That "rocks from an online animation" line just rebrought up scarring I pushed down like crazy so thanks for that one lol
20:45 AT-ST's are often jokingly referred to as "chicken walkers" by fans. I've seen the term used for any mech with a chicken leg design. The Futurama Mechs being chicken shaped was definitely the joke.
11:00 never thought I’d see the day eyes you bring up Star Wars much less its greatest game
I've played this on my PS2, and I couldn't beat this game. Due to being a very hard and janky action platformer, but it is one of the best video game adaptations ever made. They faithfully followed the series' humor.
Agreed, the gameplay isn’t the best, but the humour and plethora of unique environments from Futurama really help the game stand out ❤
15:17 You really were in the Zone for that reference
I feel like an ideal Futurama game puzzle would be one that seems very inexplicable, but is based on an absurd - but still workable and reasonably learned - scientific or mathematical theory/practice taken to its most tenuously logical conclusion.
Something that makes the player and the people designing it go "I'm afraid we need to use... _Math._ " Something that makes you feel smart, but not necessarily like you learned anything. That captures the Futurama vibe to me.
First nice comment about meta humor,cgi can be rubbery and expressive(like jak and dexter,jet set radio,transformers devestation,ect). Also i highly recommend storm hawks for cartoon examples!
Nice vid. And good sponsor. Finally something I can use, lol
You're almost at 100k, keep it up! Been watching since your Kratos vid
This was a banger rent from Hollywood Video. When i started collecting PS2 games, this one took my breath away.
I still need to get to watching Futurerama…
Yes. Yes you do.
Good thing I saw the recent post reminder. I didn't get the frigging original, redid the bell thing so hopefully I don't miss next video.
The lost episode
And why it became lost
Oh God. I remember renting this game from Blockbuster when it came out... I feel old.
Never geting tired of you bacon intro. 🥰🤤
This video is great! I was also a massive fan of the show. I haven't watched it in years, though. I should go back.
My cousin gave me his xbox copy of Futurama when we were young. To this day, I have not played it, but I refuse to get rid of it because I am a huge fan of the show, and I know it has some value to it.
I don't really have anything to say but I know liking and commenting helps with the Al Gore Rhythms. And you're so close to 100K. Really awesome to see someone go from a few thousand up to 100k.
Ive still got a copy of this on PS2 somewhere at home, glad i bought this as a kid in a 2nd hand store. Im not sure if i ever acc got past the sewer level if i remember right lol
This game is brutal in places, yet the Futurama charm made me power through it. I did eventually pawn it in eBay for decent money, though instead of a gun I invested the money. Hermes would be proud.
hell yeah teenage robot reference
You're right, i do want to watch futurama again.
Thanks for playing this so I don’t have to!
Thanks for the video ❤
This video made me interested in giving futurerama a chance. I tried last year but stopped watching at the beginning of season 1 but I liked what I saw just didn’t give it much time.
I liked this game as a kid, I see where your coming from but as a tie in game I think it's good
Damn now i wish i still had my copy from when i was a teenager
15:19 hello fellow Zone fan
A fan? No. The story is, a couple of years back I came home drunk after a night out with the boys. I was randomly scrolling RUclips blitzed out of my mind, and somebody had posted a version of that video that cuts off with a "snap back to reality" before anything happens. Long story short, curiosity got the better of me, and I wish it wouldn't have.
Unrelated but, what's wrong with shinnok being beat by johnny and cassie? Isn't cage's deal is that everyone underestimate his fighting provess due to the hollywood background, but he's legit?
10:55 A battlefield-style Futurama game? That sounds... freakin terrible.
South Park approached that with Snowday and everyone hates it.
I remember having this on XBOX
I really should have kept my copy. I had bought enough it for like 20$ it was ... meh to ok.
$200+ for this game?
I just checked CEX (Kinda like Game-Stop in the USA) here in the UK and they have the PS2 Game for £20 and the XBOX version for £30, able to be purchased right now.
- I also saw the game in another shop near me for £10 for the PS2, the box and so on were in brand new condition and zero scratches to the disk.
Amd I missing something here or was the game just sold far more here in the UK than the USA???
I remember playing this game as a kid I wish I never sold it knowing it’s worth $200
The channel I Don't Have a Nose Reviews has a review on this game as well, as well as a more recent video where he takes a look at some of the (for him) most interesting easter eggs. he's a channel well worth checking out.
Finally, a futurama fan who doesnt act like this game is the second coming. I hated my time with this game past the novelty most licensed games provide. I.e. walking around in locations from the show/movie.
Let me hang onto my PS2 copy of Futurama for a few more years…..
Didn’t ‘Hit & Run’ come out at the same time?
TBP youtube isn't sending out your videos, I had to search out your channel.
I got the notification for this video a day later. Thanks for working properly RUclips
This is my opinion but the Hulu revival season has some good episodes. Children of a lesser Bog, I know what you did last Xmas and All the Way down are very good. With all the way down being up there with some of the show's best episodes. As a whole it wasn't any worse than the comedy Central seasons but I know not everyone agrees with that.
I honestly recommend the Futurama revival. Out of all the episodes there's only one that I would consider to be bad (In my honest opinion).
The revival is all horrible
You'd think Leela would be the one character to use guns...
In the UK the game sells for about £30
It's sad that I know what online animation with the rock golums he was talking about. 💀
This game is a cult classic, it's just a shame it never came out on nintendo consoles, so i completely missed the boat on this one.
I got the game for 20 bucks at Hollywood video when i was a kid and still have my copy
Honestly? They should have let Telltale do this. I know this game came out before the golden years of Telltale, and obviously Tell tale is now defunct, but that doesn’t stop me from getting margining how it would end up going that route.
Of course, I also thought that an Archer Telltale game would have kicked so much as, so make of that as you will
Telltale is still around, they reformed in 2023 after a near shut down and suddenly rescue from another company.
It seems they're still reassessing their future projects for now, probably won't just be licensed point and click titles anymore but seems they're considering still working on some of the more well regarded titles under their belt.
@@Shift_Salt thanks, friend. The dream of an Archer Telltale game
1:19 no way Gokus hair
I hope tactical bacon does more games that similar to God of war I do have one game that is So similar to God of war it's Splatterhouse 2011
Also, your videos are being pushed out to me, but they are RARELY at the top of my recommended videos now, whereas a few months ago they would consistently take one of the top 2 spots upon dropping.
"This game is both rare and expensive"
I bought it at CEX for like £15
You never told us about the secret character you play as
The character I was referring to was Zoidberg.
I feel like this show is *waaay* better then modern Simpsons
I've only played the demo version of this game. It was something, alright.
As someone who just bought the rarest Jojo’s game, Even if you love futurama the game should be at least good to drop 250 on it
Which one, the Capcom Fighter, the Vento Aureo beat em up, or Phantom Blood?
@@DrEarthwormRobotnik the capcom fighter, pretty rare. Cost me 150 for just the disc. Those other 2 aren’t actually that rare. Can get em for like 30
Each
@@pajamapantsjack5874 Damn, good ass find. It's stupid ass expensive
If i could describe the gamr from my personal experience with it id say it's okay but not overly amazing
I hate that I understood the rock golem reference 😶
The ppl running the show made sure the dumb science made sense. The brain swapping episode is a prime example. It's a super complicated thing I won't and frankly can't explain lol math is dumb
If they copied the game design of Rachet and Clank that would have been great, just think hopping planet to planet trying to make a delivery like in the show. But your always getting into dangerous situations with locals or villains form the show.
This game reminds me of the Looney Tunes Acme Arsenal game
I'm at the beginning
This game looks better than the Family guy PS2 game.
Guess I'm going to find out why it's bad here in a second
Finally someone calls this garbage out whenever I heard someone bring this game up they always called it a hidden gem for some reason
I have seen a decent chunk for reviews that r very negative aboot (almost as negative when game "critics" see a good game) and average negative, but seen a equal amount of reviews that r very positive (almost as positive when game "critics" see a bad game and have 2 defend it and attack ppl with any form of actual critique) and average positive. Not many neutral reviews, as it is the only game (not counting the mobile games (1 of which is crossover card game)) based on the show.
It's probably because it's not an easy to obtain game. Heck, this is easily the priciest game to get for the original XBOX. So people assume it has to be this great game no one played if it got that expensive.
Not the first time I've seen this happen. Sonic CD was considered a hidden gem for several years since it was one of the harder to find Sonic games. Opinions on Sonic CD became a lot more varied once the game became more accessible.
August 12th... My bday
It’s crazy ridiculous how expensive this game is and very hard to get and it’s not even that perfect of a game it’s ok but still
Yo
Your lucky this wasn't a big N exclusive Mr scary Internet pirate !!
That online animation with the rock golems is peak
has he don a video about the family guy games?? r the simpsons game from 2007??
I think it’s best to just watch the cutscenes from this game rather than actually play it. The most recent revival is half good half bad.
I wonder if this was handled by the same people who made that Family Guy game.
15:19 Oh my GOD LMAOOOOOO😂
IF YOU KNOW YOU KNOW
I feel like I know, but I don't know if I wanna know.
I know I want to know.
I know, and the creator then did work for Skullgirls.
Make of that as you will.
I wish I didn't 💀
I know
15:15 true men of culture know 2hat he is referring to.
You know why I like Minimme's videos so much? Because he actually consider the realities of video game budgets when he reviews licensed games. We can't just dream up any game we like without thinking of the financial realities. Companies that spend big on game development either do it on their own IP to get all the profit or use a very popular IP like Star Wars, DC, Marvel to attract a big audience. It doesn't make sense to spend a lot of money on a Futurama game, especially at a time the series is getting cancelled to due low ratings.
If there was more appreciation that a Futurama game exists at all maybe we could get more low-mid budget Futurama games that improve on each other gradually with fan feedback. Instead we get nothing because we whine that the one game we got didn't have the scope of Marvel's Spider-man 2.
Sorry kiddo, this game went out of print over 20 years ago. Me making a video on it is not going to affect whether or not it gets the sequel. Also nobody expects anything to have the budget of Marvel's Spider-Man 2, I do however expect a game to be halfway decent. And I'm not going to appreciate something just for existing just because I like the source material. Quality is quality.
11 minutes is where this video gets good and l'm haning on his every word.
I didn't even know this existed. Plus fox is stupid. What else they cancel that was a hit? Wasn't family guy and Lucifer ancelled too? But King of the Hill stayed on with shitty ratings? Lmao look at them now. What shows does anyone watch? Or even know what are their line up?
If you really want to see a bad game, play Batman: Dark Tomorrow.
I saw a couple episodes of the revival and it retains its quality from what I watched
The revival is not worth watching. Season 4 had some bad episodes but these new ones are as funny as the new Simpsons episodes. Futurama was great when it was about a guy in 1000 years in the future and the Sci-fi jokes that came with it. When it became about fry and leela or kiff and ami it just sucked
A comment
Americans have to spend like $200 to own this game? Average American L I guess.
I used to hear this game was surprisingly decent. Kind of a shame it’s shit
15:20 do NOT REFERENCE THE JENNY VID
Well..yeah..thats cause fox entertianment focuses heavily on a leftist target demographic. Fox News is right wing and thus people tend just make the blanket statement that Fox is conservative foxused but as far as movies, sitcoms, etc. go, the vast majority of what they put out, it leans toward liberal perspectives. Pretty much every animated show that spawned from fox is overseen by a neutral or liberal show runner and the live action shows are similarly done. That results in A LOT of jokes against the company because it's the steritype of the coperate overseer they are taking a strike against but this also wouldnt be done if Fox was truely like this. At this point the realization is blurred but Fox has ALWAYS driven itself in the market through radicalism. That's why they purposely invested in shows like the Simpsons which were considered a crude and insulting affront to the standard depictions of TV families at the time. It showed a more real and gritty model that people felt were amoralistic and insulted the wholesome nuclear family institutions on T.V. This focus was kind of what set fox apart and gained a demographic of young adults/teens. Everyone hates on fox..especially fox but it's good for fox and no one stops watching their shows just because they complain about them supposedly being too conservative..yep..sure..lol I guess they told Bob's Burgers it couldn't be about a family of canibols..booo! How very right wing crazy of them! I'm sure the team behind the show just absolutely hates the company for reals, which is why they continue to work there. The jokes are their serious, real feelings of hate toward they people allowing them to have a bisexual burger artist as their main character! 😂
I get the comment but still they used to mistreat some of their animated shows, the Homerphobia episode was only approved when the executive that wanted it changed so it basically didn't talk about the topic was fired and a new one came, family guy had 3 episodes completed by the fox executives while the team was on the 2007 strike, futurama was put at akward times resulting in being cancelled after 4 seasons, same for american dad and it's time slot was taken by a live action show for some months.
Ive been hearing that the revival is pretty good but i haven't watched it so take my word with a grain of salt
7:39. Me as a fan of futurama and a massive fan of Spyro: A Hero's Tail: NICE!!!
I know that Spyro: A Hero's Tail isn't anyone's favourite Spyro game but it does have a special place in my heart since it was my first ever platformer that got me into platformers.
