    Much alike the first episodic entry into this series of games, episode IV isn't as stimulating in terms of plot points and storyline as the last two. The setting has (for the most part) been largely featured before in previous installments but the voice acting is still quite stellar.

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

    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?).

    If you're a BTTF junkie, it's a must have.
    It has the same flavour as the movies, even that little things.
    The story is fun but the puzzles are rather easy.
    Just enjoy the ride

    "Episode 4: Double Visions" of Back to the Future: The Game, while not the strongest in the series, still holds its own and delivers an enjoyable experience. 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.    "Episode 4: Double Visions" of Back to the Future: The Game, while not the strongest in the series, still holds its own and delivers an enjoyable experience. 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

    Die Story um Marty und Doc ist zwar ganz witzig, diesmal waren aber wieder zwei echt aufwendige Rätsel dabei. Viele Schritte in richtiger Reihenfolge, das ist eher ätzend, auch wenn sich dabei was gedacht und sich Mühe gegeben wurde. Gut, dass sich Telltale für das Konzept mit den Entscheidungen entschieden hat.

    It's still better than the first episode, but its weaknesses will leave you wishing you could go back in time to stop yourself from playing it--space time continuum be damned. [Sept 2011, p.73]

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

    There's a lot of talking and gathering things for other people. It's rather ho-hum.
