    Back To the Future is a sacred franchise to many fans, Telltale have done well to stay true to the world of Doc and Marty without too much in the way of deviation. While re-creating their universe, Back To the Future Episode 1 produces a great story and some fun puzzles to solve.

    A great experience for fans of the movies, but there isn't much to go back to after the story ends. If you're a fan of point-and-click style games, and if you even remotely enjoy Back to the Future, then this game is great purchase.

    You can plow through Episode 1 in a couple of hours, but it's still time well spent, and the impressive presentation and story will keep you glued to the screen the whole time. Back to the Future can't escape its issues, but Telltale did what few publishers manage to achieve: do a movie franchise justice. Now give us Episode 2.

    Overall, this is a solid, if not utterly spectacular, adventure game carefully wrapped up with a beloved license.

    Telltale's storytelling abilities are second to none, but technical problems on the iPad once again rear their ugly head.

    Back to the Future is a welcome surprise -- it's a movie-inspired game that doesn't suck. Instead, it pushes the characters in interesting directions and whips up a good story.

    Strong writing and some fun scenarios save Back to the Future Ep1 HD from its control and performance issues.

    A fantastic example of an excellent story and outstanding voice acting, but suffers from a few technical issues including tricky controls and lag in some areas of the game.

It's a great game, but the graphics aren't the best, the storyline is a little boring, and it's not optimised for the 16:9 ratio devices. Overall, it's decent, but I probably wouldn't recommend it to anyone.… Full Review »
