The Good
- Every part of the game feels like old-school Back to the Future
- voice acting, music, and sound effects are excellent
- cartoon art style flawlessly captures the movies’ spirit
- strikes just the right balance between pure nostalgia and its own new direction.
The Bad
- Very linear with very easy puzzles
- awkward, console-oriented movement controls
- spotty lip-syncing detracts from an otherwise brilliant presentation.
Our Verdict
Very good
A game of very high quality. Although some aspects might have been executed better, we would recommend this game without hesitation.
While light on the gameplay side, the first episode of Back to the Future absolutely nails the charm, humor, and sense of adventure that made the films so much fun.
