Another frustration comes in the form of the inability to move the camera which means you often can’t tell which way to move so Marty often spends far too long walking around in circles. This does happen a little too much for my liking as the point part of the point and click mechanism does take a while to get used to it can be difficult to know exactly what the icon is pointing to at times. On the most part this was fine as I enjoyed listening to what the characters had to say but when you accidently click on something and have to listen to a repeat it gets frustrating. Part of this may be due to the fact that I take way too long figuring things out, but some of this time was wasted due to the fact that you can’t skip dialogue. The story was a good continuation of the saga, even though it was much more convoluted than a movie would be in order to provide as many gaming hours as possible.Īnd what a lot of hours I got. We also get to meet wimpy Arthur McFly, Marty’s Grandfather as well as Biff’s Father, Kid Tannen, the mobster who is running the town. Having already been to Hill Valley in 1955, 19 in the movies, being able to visit this time in 1931 was a treat.

If you have never watched the movies then don’t let that put you off the game, a quick recap at the start of the first episode will bring you up to speed, although you might not get all of the in-jokes. Each part of the story is set as a discrete episode with five altogether to work through.Īs a fan of the movies, being able to reimmerse myself into the Back to the Future universe was an enjoyable nostalgic trip back to the 80s. This adventure, of course leads to all sorts of time-line kerfuffle which sees Marty and Doc moving backwards and forwards through time, from 1931 to an alternative 1985 and back to 1931 again in order to mend the rips in space-time that their meddling has caused. The appearance of a driverless DeLorean leads Marty and Doc’s faithful mutt Einstein on a journey back to 1931 with a mission to save the 1985 Doc from certain death by befriending the teenage Doc and persuading him to abandon his fledgling career path of lawyer to one of mad scientist. The story is set six months after the end of Back to the Future III and ‘Doc’ Emmett Brown has mysteriously disappeared. You play as the time-travelling, guitar wielding teenager Marty McFly. The game is a point and click adventure from Telltale games, the developers who brought you adventures such as The Wolf Among us, The Walking Dead and more recently that of Tales from the Borderlands and the videogame adaptation of Game of Thrones.
