Futurama

Many fans of the TV series will consider the rise and fall of the show to be a tragic one. Quite arguably one of the finest spoofs of the sci-fi genre to come along, it kept viewers coming back for more as they followed the misadventures of Fry, Bender, Leela, and the rest of the gang at the Planet Express getting into one mishap after the next…assuming you could find the show on TV, since many locations in the US routinely had Futurama pre-empted for one sporting event or another.

Now Sierra is putting the finishing touches on a game based on the best damn sci-fi spoof that not nearly enough people heard enough about, aptly titled…well…Futurama. Now Fry and the gang have to travel back in time to stop Mom from taking over the world in this 3^rd person shooter which we suspect will also contain liberal splashes of hilarity when it hits the market this summer.

Features:

Fry, Leela and Bender traveling through time to thwart Mom’s evil plans for world domination.
A game design true to the brand, with original story, dialogue and music created by FUTURAMA writers and its composer.
Original cinematics from the writers of the TV series, including the equivalent of 2 ALL NEW show episodes.
Custom-made outline and toon-shading renderer, which captures the visual look and feel of the FUTURAMA TV series.
A gigantic FUTURAMA universe spanning 25 levels, 5 original environments, and expanded further with exclusive new characters and settings
Interaction with the familiar characters from FUTURAMA, including Zap Brannigan and Dr. Zoidberg.
Easy to learn controls to aid in an easy “pick up and play” learning curve important to casual gamers.
