Can't get enough Futurama

Futurama in Games Master Magazine

The March 2003 issue of "Games Master" in the UK features the Futurama Video game as their cover article. Preordering for your PS-2, X-Box and GameCube is available through amazon.co.uk, though their release dates are wrong. The four page preview full of images from different levels lauds its apparent originality and close resemblance to the show's character:
"The whole game is extremely tight, focused and unfolds like any other episode of [the] series. [...] While much of the game play is very derivative it rarely becomes frustrating thanks to an elegant control system and a camera that seldom deceives. Best of all is the way the game has captured the essence of its source material."
June looks most likely for a release, but we'll update you once we get the official date.

Would anyone from the UK mind scanning the article on to a web site and giving a link?

By the way, check out the review of the PS2 version on amazon-

"...as i write this review it hasn't come out yet but i've read fox's and sci's press realeases and its a sure thing this is gonna one of the greatest games..."

This guy has a lot to learn about video games... hell, about <i>everything</i>.

I've read the review in Games Master, and I must admit that it is 'VERY' positive. However if you go over to www.sci.co.uk you can see some screenshots of the upcoming game, considering that this is a PS2 game, the graphics leave a lot to be desired. When you think of some of the beautiful cel shaded games that have been released recently on this platform recently (Sly Raccoon, Auto Modelista) I cannot understand why the game doen't look a lot more polished. But then again when you look at some of the Simpsons recent appearances in video games, you begin to suspect that this Futurama game is nothing more than a cynical 'cash-in' on the show's popularity.
