    Full Throttle is still as short a point 'n' click adventure now as it was back in 1995 and the remastered version isn't quite as polished as recent efforts by Double Fine such as Day of the Tentacle Remastered, however this is still the same awesome bikie adventure that many gamers fell in love with back in the 90s, with an excellent soundtrack by Peter McConnell and the Gone Jackals, aFull Throttle is still as short a point 'n' click adventure now as it was back in 1995 and the remastered version isn't quite as polished as recent efforts by Double Fine such as Day of the Tentacle Remastered, however this is still the same awesome bikie adventure that many gamers fell in love with back in the 90s, with an excellent soundtrack by Peter McConnell and the Gone Jackals, a great cast of characters voiced by some talented voice actors, and an appealing comic book art style – the only difference is it's all in higher definition now so that a younger generation can enjoy it too without needing to experience grainy animation and audio.… Expand

    Five Word Review: Beautification of a true classic.
    Favorite Thing: The remaster looks great. A fitting facelift for a great classic.
    Least Favorite Thing: Controlling the motorcycle. It's not just the mouse control, it's the oh-so-terrible mouse control.

No one should miss out on the experience of playing this well acted (including Mark Hamill), entertaining game full of endearing characters and stylish animation.… Expand

    I played the original in the end of 90's and loved this game for the story, cool soundtrack, well-drawn characters and something i can't explain.

    Amazing remastered soundtrack and SFX, great idea for the jukebox to add "hi-fi", "lo-fi" switch. I like to compare old and new sound, this is fantastic. Actually i like it in every remaster.

    It was redrawn everything and looks very nice, i guess i like remaster better now.

    Not have any problem with mechanics and fight on the bikes, think it's became even smoother.

    Very useful feature is able to switch between classic and remastered versions. Request it for every future remaster ever :))

    Great remaster for the great game!    … Expand

    Although Lucas Arts adventures are not my favorites due to some illogical puzzles in every game, I admit Full Throttle is one of the best by the studio. You are the leader of a biker gang, the Polecats. The game features motorcycle riding, combat (similar to Road Rash) and demolition derby, which provide a welcome change in addition to point & click mechanics.

I loved the voice acting, as well as the heavy metal soundtrack. Back in the day, the game was criticized to be too short. But I feel 4 hours length for Full Throttle felt just right.

    A few words about the remaster. As in every Tim Schafer remaster, this is a perfect one. You can switch to old graphics and sound by the press of a button and also access commentaries, which renders the old version pretty much obsolete. As opposed to Day of the Tentacle Remastered though, I chose to play with the original graphics, which in my view offers a preferable darker and upsetting tone, rather than the more colorful and cheerful remastered graphics.

    If you've ever found yourself trying to explain to people that videogames are an art just as much as cinema is, you should show them Full Throttle.

    This game is easily among the anthology of gaming and there is a reason for that: there's hardly any other game that can immerse the player so well in its story and its environment. Scenario, dialogues, OST (incredible, really), the characters and their psychology... Everything is artistically so lively, and so well-designed that it could match reference cinema movies. It takes one quote to love a character, one interaction to laugh, and one glance at your hero lost in the desert to feel like this badass biker lost in the Nevada.

    The funny thing is, at this point I am barely hiding that Full Throttle feels like an amazing movie and not a game. And yes, its deep nature lies somewhere between a movie and a game. And as much as I love it, I have to admit that the gameplay has good and bad sides. Among the good things, I note that this is one of the rare point'n clicks where there is a dynamic dimension, that is, where sometimes the timeliness of your actions matters. The bad side of the game lies in several clunky sequences, for examples, one involving bike fights, and another one in a destruction derby, where you feel the solutions do not correspond to any logic, and are found after several missed attempts.

    Yet, none of these gameplay mistakes could ever erase Ben and Maureen from my memories. Because as many awesome cinema movies, the atmosphere, characters and dialogues of Full Throttle will leave you with the lasting impression that you were there in these desert lands, loving your jacket, your bike and hating the bad industrials you were running after.

    Masterpiece of videogames history.    … Expand

    A short classic adventure with good voice acting and nice story. Works perfect on Ubuntu 16.04. Notebook with Intel® HD Graphics 4400 is enough.

    Love this game. Lot's of Nostalgia for it. One of the best all time classic games.
    - The negative i have for this version is ... the modern art style. I am not a fan.
    They give you both versions! Which is great. I MUCH prefer the pixels... HOWEVER. If you choose the pixels option you also get stuck with the old master of the sound.

    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]
