CiB Let's Try - Futurama (PS2)

Futurama is one of those unique games that was ALWAYS pretty hard to find, even when it first came out. It's not super surprising to see a TV show be made into a video game, but Futurama has a few special things about it.
First off, the graphical style is pretty cool. Assuming they couldn't do hand-drawn graphics, this is definitely the next best step. They also got all the original voice actors, and wrote it almost like a new episode of the show --- so it's well-written and pretty funny.
That's about it for the positives. The game itself is really, really, really, not good. I like how the first quest is a Fetch Quest (tm)... that requires picking up OVER 12 UNIQUE ITEMS. Come. On.
Clearly, this game is too hard for its own good. Whether it is too hard due to level design, or too hard because it's a bad game with bad controls, who knows. It's one I would honestly be interested to see the whole way through because of the unique story, but, I mean imagine actually playing this game.
No plans to ever come back to this one, so this'll be a solid "Let's Try'. Hey, at least we tried! Thanks for watching.
