X-box Futurama Demo

In the current issue of the Official XBox magazine in UK there is an extra DVD disk that includes a playable demo of the new Futurama video game.

The level revolves around Fry blasting aliens in a bar. The level lasts 5 minutes because it's a timed based demo. The loading screen is of Zapp with the quotation "Join the Army! What are you, chicken? Buk Buk Buk!"
At this message board, people are reviewing the demo. Keep in mind that they aren't really Futurama fans though.
Thanks to Gary for originally bringing this to my attention, and people at PEEL.

Also, SCi's latest press release on a sponsorship deal with the Sky One airings of Futurama lists the release date for the XBox and PS2 versions as August 1st.

August 1st!? God Damn it! A few days ago it was supposed to be July 4th. I read a review of the finished game in PSM2 (It got 75% by the way, they said it's plays well but it's hardly revolutionary, although the brilliant humour more than makes up for it). Anyway my point is if the game is finished why do we have to wait for August?

Because magazines sometime review copies that are pratically finished, with a few bugs to iron out. Also, it takes time after the game has gone gold to manufacture the discs etc.

Not fans? Where did you get that idea? Some of them seem to be on the ball. One guy even comments on how the game's terrible graphics do not even mesh well with the show's art...

Do they ever put the official magazine discs in the store kiosks? I don't have an X-Box, but it would be nice to try out the game in a store.
