I've just read a mini review in the Mirror and they've given it 5 stars. They hardly ever give games 5 stars. The game itself looks amazing. SO, why was it canned!!!

The Mirror? Owned by Rupert Murdoch. Futurama made my Fox shown on Sky, both of which are owned by Murdoch. It's like the Simpsons comic giving futurama 5 stars!

And what the hell do the mirror know about games? That's almost as bad as Goatboy's desperate attempts at making Metroid look bad by using the BBC review...


The reason it was canned was because they knew it wouldn't sell.

Plus the Xbox demo tastes like chicken.

They're usually spot on in most other reviews and it's not reviewed by him anyway.

1) The Mirror is not the best publication to review games - readers of OXM will remember the time The Mirror gave an Xbox go karting game 4 out of 5 and said "this is the kind of game the console needs"....

2) Futurama is in fact a crap game in every way. Go buy the DVD's of the series instead - truly the Xbox demo stinks, badly.

3) Because the Gamecube does not have a large enough user base and most owners only buy the great games with high ratings, i.e. not what Futurama would score had it been reviewed.
