Futurama is a 3D platform video game based on the science fiction animated series of the same name. It was developed by Unique Development Studios for the PlayStation 2 and Xbox, both of which use cel-shading technology. The cutscenes of the game are presented as an entire "lost episode" of Futurama on the DVD of The Beast with a Billion Backs.
Game has received mixed reviews from critics and fans. Many praised its storytelling and writing, but many of the gameplay aspects were generally criticized.
The game is considered to be as one of the rarest and most expensive games on PlayStation 2 and Xbox in a physical copy, ranging in places like eBay around $200 to $800. This is mainly due to incredibly low sales of the game, since it saw a very limited run of printings and partly due to the show's cancellation not long after its release.
