It's definitely revelling in the fact it's pure platform. The columns with Leela is REALLY difficult.
Fortunately, the cutscenes are hysterical (especially the running joke about being a playable character and Fry's dying ie. when Bender crushes him.
Only Bender looks natural in 3D - Fry's hairstyle looks odd in 3D.

Are there any screenshots from the game? I saw something once that were supposed to be from the game, and all the characters looked almost zombie-like, completely bereft of facial expressions. I hope that this was just a special part of the game, and that it doesn't look that bad in general.
They're not zombie-like. In fact, they make facial expressions depending on how happy or angry they are (or in pain) - both on the characters and the close up portraits.

The screenshots do the game no justice whatsoever. I would urge people to at least find a playable demo of it before deciding not to buy it because it "looks crappy". The graphics look really good when you're actually playing it and moving around, and the cut scenes are very well done indeed.

Crappy controls and a c64-like collision detection. Not a very good game, but as a die hard fan of Futurama I just had to spend a few hours infront my friends ps2 playing this game. Sounds and cutscenes are great.though.

I have to agree. If the game wasn't Futurama based, I would have never bought it, let alone play it.

Is this ever going to be released for the PC?
Doubtful.

I don't see any particular reason for it to NOT come out on PC - considering that it IS out on XBOX, which is basically Microsoft's way of masquerading a low end PC as a game console. The port would be simple assuming someone wanted to do it. And as part of Futurama's core "fanatical nerd" audience I of course have a high-end PC, but no interest in crappy-looking game systems. Gimmie 1600x1200 resolution and full antialiaisng any day!
Did anybody notice that in the booklet it lists Zoidberg as "Dr. John Zoidberg"? Was his first name ever in the show? and also they list Bender as just "Bender" totally disregarding his B and Rodriguez.
"How're the twins?" "They're triplets" "How time flies."

In "30% Iron Chef", Fry's "confession" is written on "From the desk of John Zoidberg, M.D." stationery.
I think his "mother" calls him John in his flashback during A Taste of Freedom too.

On the show they flip-flopped on this a lot. Either he was Bender Unit 22, or Bender Bending Rodriguez (Hecho en Mexico).
I think it had something to do with the weather...
