    For Back to the Future fans or just adventure game aficionados, Episode Four is amazing. And from the looks of the teaser at the end of this chapter, the next one might just surpass it.

    For fans of the films, you can hardly go wrong with the Back to the Future adventure games. If you've already bought the first, then you know the kind of quality you're in for. If you're hesitant and looking to see if it's maintained throughout the series, then you're in luck, because the Back to the Future games are still right up there with the gold standard that Telltale's set for licensed adventure games.

    With each episode, Telltale manages to raise the bar and make the game even better. This time the puzzles are much better and there are situations where some thinking is absolutely necessary.

    Despite its faults, Back to the Future Episode 4 remains a pleasurable nostalgia trip for fans. Among other clever winks to the film series, Marty blasts a few people off their feet after hooking his guitar up to a car-sized speaker and rides around town on a makeshift skateboard. Like every episode before it, Double Vision ends with a twist, which helped build my excitement for Telltale's next (and final) entry, but I hope Episode 5 tries to break the mold.

    Double Visions is as good as the previous episode, but we're really in for some grandiose season finale. [July 2011, p.99]

When comparing it to the other three episodes, it might not stand out as much, but that doesn't mean it's a weak episode in its own right.

    What sets "Double Visions" apart is its slightly slower pace in terms of story development. While the previous episodes were filled with thrilling twists and turns, this one takes a more contemplative approach, allowing the players to delve deeper into the characters and their emotions. While this change of pace may not be everyone's cup of tea, I found it to be a refreshing change of tone that added depth to the overall narrative.

    The gameplay in this episode remains consistent with the series, providing fun and challenging puzzles that keep you engaged throughout. Though it may not introduce any groundbreaking mechanics or mind-bending riddles, it still manages to keep the adventure engaging and entertaining.

    One aspect that remains consistently praiseworthy throughout the entire series is the attention to detail in the writing and the excellent voice acting. "Double Visions" continues to deliver authentic dialogue and witty exchanges between characters, making you feel like you're part of the Back to the Future universe.

    Additionally, the developers continue to impress with their commitment to staying true to the source material. The attention to recreating the iconic settings of the movie trilogy is commendable and adds to the overall nostalgic experience.

    While "Episode 4: Double Visions" might not have the same jaw-dropping moments as its predecessors, it still contributes significantly to the overarching story. It's a necessary stepping stone in the grand adventure that ties up loose ends and sets the stage for the grand finale.

    In conclusion, "Episode 4: Double Visions" may not shine as brightly as the other episodes when compared directly, but it is by no means a weak installment. It maintains the charm, fun, and nostalgia of the series, providing an enjoyable and satisfying experience for fans of Back to the Future. As the journey unfolds, it becomes evident that each episode serves its purpose in building a cohesive and memorable story, making "Double Visions" an essential part of the overall adventure.    … Expand

    The game climaxes with the last episode in terms of fun and quality. Again, voice acting makes this. Too much dialogue at some points (muse, anyone?).

The setting has (for the most part) been largely featured before in previous installments but the voice acting is still quite stellar. If you play for the puzzle solving and don't care about the dialog this might potentially be your favourite. Perhaps one of the most interesting moments of this game is during the end credits as we're shown a sneak peak as to what's foreshadowing in the final title.… Expand
