The gameplay and detailing have been developed in conjunction with Matt Groening to ensure an authentic Futurama experience. Matt Groening, series creator, said, “Futurama’s sci-fi themes fit perfectly with sophisticated video game technology, helping you imagine what it would be like to be alive in the 31st Century. It involves blasting a lot of aliens.”

The main character and original voice actors have been used throughout the game and series writer J. Stewart Burns, who won an EMMY® for scripting the classic Futurama episode, Roswell That Ends Well, has written the game’s storyline. Gamers will also be treated to about 30 minutes of new Futurama cinematic footage.

Along with the television show synergy, Futurama utilizes NDL’s Gamebryo(TM) 3D graphics engine and toolkit to enhance the game’s style of 3D cartooning. Gamebryo's flexible framework provided the development team with what it needed for this project. The technology plugged right into the production pipeline and easily allowed custom features, content and gameplay to be added.

Futurama is available now on PlayStation 2 and Xbox for a suggested retail price of $49.99 with an ESRB “Teen” rating. For more information, log onto www.vugames.com.

In addition to the Futurama videogame, the Planet Express crew blasts onto DVD in the "FUTURAMA" VOLUME TWO DVD COLLECTION from Fox Home Entertainment. "FUTURAMA" VOLUME TWO is a four-disc set that includes all nineteen episodes from the second production season, plus an entire universe of exclusive bonus materials, including deleted scenes, Easter eggs, animatics, storyboards and much more. The suggested retail price is $49.98 U.S. and $69.98 Canada.
