The Good
I liked that it was fun, and easy to beat. Various puzzles and game types kept it interesting throughout. Being down with the Futurama humor is a plus. It was a pretty good game overall; it made me laugh and had some entertaining puzzles that fell prey to my gamer skillz.
The Bad
Cell shaded graphics weren't too bad, but they could have done better if they tried harder. It has that 3-D control issue as well.
The Bottom Line
If you like Futurama and games, then you'll like this.

Futurama was initially planned as a point & click adventure for PC and GBA, but was later changed to a platformer, due to demands from Matt Groening.
