    It was enjoyable enough to finish, but a step down from other Lucasarts games. It could have very well done for this setting what it did for pirates, but it was underwhelming.

    Disclosure: I still have the original Full Throttle on DVD-ROM, and I am able to play it on any platform that can run ScummVM (and that's a very very long list of platforms).

    The good: The dialogue is witty, the music is atmospheric, the original pixel artwork is still amazing (IMHO), the story is engaging and the puzzles are original and their solutions are generally logical (for a    Disclosure: I still have the original Full Throttle on DVD-ROM, and I am able to play it on any platform that can run ScummVM (and that's a very very long list of platforms).

    The good: The dialogue is witty, the music is atmospheric, the original pixel artwork is still amazing (IMHO), the story is engaging and the puzzles are original and their solutions are generally logical (for a LucasArts point-and-click adventure).

    The bad: The new graphical makeover is as charmless as it is pointless - it looks like a bad Flash game. The motorbike combat bits are as awful as they every were. Some puzzles end up being a "Where's Waldo" search for a non-descript item that is indistinguishable from the non-interactive background. The whole thing is also very short and linear; for all of the dialogue choices you get, there's only one path through the game, therefore there's no replay value.

    I can't help but feel that the money used to develop this remaster might have been better put towards a proper (full-priced) sequel, perhaps with the original Full Throttle bundled in and playable in its original form.

    If you've never played Full Throttle before, I would encourage you to give it a go, but do so with an open and forgiving mind, as it hasn't aged particularly well.

    If you've played it before and you've misplaced your rose-tinted glasses, avoid.    … Expand

    This one I'm on the fence about. It is a great remaster of a 1995 LucasArts point and click adventure game but the gameplay and story do not age well. I am only recommending it because of the fantastic effort put into the remaster features which include upgraded graphics, the ability to switch to old graphics at any time, and even commentary.

    This is one of the only LucasArts games I know about that I do not have nostalgia for as I somehow missed it. It is a classic point and click adventure with the antagonist being a leader of a biker gang. You are quickly thrung into a conflict with the future of the only motorcycle manufacture left. The story is a bit lacking and character development a bit bland.

    There are much better modern and classic games in this genre but the effort put into the remaster is to be commended.    … Expand

    На мой субъективный вкус, квест довольно среднего уровня, несмотря на то, в какое время он выходил.

    Good point and click game. I tried it because I liked Telltale games back in the day, and decided that I should play the oldschool ones. That being said, I didn't found Full Throttle to be that memorable.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I review games with all games starting at 5/10 (Average) and then deduct/add for negatives and positives:

    Overall feeling:

    Really enjoyable re-make for a classic game. I never played the original but saw a friend play-through it and bought it on steam. Was able to play through in one session and although some of the sections weren't perfect, I do think it's worthy of the title of a classic. The achievement list is a little big (40 in total) considering most of them are for just going through the game normally, and only a handful are for things you can miss. However it was fun to get them all. There is no real replay ability except for a fun romp through a familiar game a few years later for nostalgia.

    Positives:

    - Cool that you can swap between graphic settings +
    - Generally funny dialogue (on purpose) +
    - Unique and fairly varied characters +
    - Great Voice acting ++
    - Great music ++
    - Most puzzles were good +
    - Graphics made objects more clear on remastered edition +

    +9

    Negatives:

    - Graphics on remastered edition felt a bit like the smoothed out original pixel art and didn't go over to add details too many times --
    - Fighting and combat sections could have been more interesting, plus it's really hard to tell when you're supposed to execute certain commands, attacking enemies when their heads are up, dodging oil slicks, hard to see and notice --
    - I liked Ben, but his lack of expression felt boring and he didn't really offer much observation of the world -
    - Roller Derby section is unclear, boring and one of/the worst sections in the game and drags the whole thing down --

    -7

    If you enjoy LucasArts' games, you should definitely play Full Throttle after so many years of not having the option to do so. If you haven't played their games but enjoy the genre in general, I'd still recommend it, as long as you're willing to accept occasional help from the internet when you can't find the right stupid rock to kick.

    Full Throttle game didn´t get old in the best way and its transformation into a modern form lacks the charm of the original. Luckily there is no pixel hunting, but regular gameplay along with boring minigames, knock the title from stardom to above average level. Remaster makes sense if you want to educate yourself in a game history, otherwise you will be more comfortable with a friendly nostalgia.

    A competent remaster that does not hurt with redesigned graphics and excites with polished sound. Above all, it offers excellent dabbing, especially of the main character helps this otherwise average adventure game to be forgotten. [Issue#275]
