Futurama Video Game to be released

[VTHodge]

I know a lot of AT readers are fans of Futurama, so I thought I would post what I found in this month's Game Informer:

With the show being futher thrust into oblivion, fans will soon be able to take solace in a shiny new piece of Futurama wackiness come June of this year. The title features three playable characters; a plot pitting Planet Express against forces bent on ruling the world; two mini-games; and design consultation by the king of wit, Matt Groening. The icing on the proverbial cake is the voiceover work done by the cartoon's cast.

Look for it on your local GameCube, Playstation 2, or XBox.

Scan from magazine.

Why do I have a feeling this might be another cheap crappy game released to take advantage of something popular while it lasts?

I'm pretty sure it will suck.

Which 3? Leela, Fry, and Bender?

 

[VTHodge]

yeah . . . my expectations are low.
The graphics look like an early '90s adventure game. . . King's Quest V or so, with the static backgrounds that the character walks over, not in.
Or I could be wrong.

Looks like the the three characters are indeed Bender, Leela and Fry.
You can see the doctor being controlled in some kind of race.
