    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, asAlthough 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.

    In comparison to the other classic Adventures I dont think Full Throttle has the same level. The graphics is very good, but the dialogs are boring: Not much humor, and they are simple. The riddles were easy and the story, just good.
    I prefer Zak McCracken, Maniac Mansion or Monkey Island. On the other side, you need to invest only few hours to know this game, so why not?

    I've completed this game long time ago but memories still filling me up with joy and a hint of brutal and metal light-headiness. Some moments are quite forgetful though. Good stuff

    My first legally purchased game... a masterpiece is defined by its capacity to endure the passing of the years, and this game certainly did.

    FT is also a perfect example of how music can make half the experience. The Gone Jackals, a biker band, provided much of the music and it’s situated so perfectly that it’s almost as if it was written especially for FT. Add to that a very good cast of voice actors, some very funny lines, and you’ve got a nearly flawless game.

    Full Throttle é um jogo de aventura e ação desenvolvido pela LucasArts e lançado em 30 de abril de 1995. Foi o décimo jogo a ser produzido utilizando o motor SCUMM.

Foi o décimo jogo a ser produzido utilizando o motor SCUMM.
    Tudo começa quando Ben e sua gangue estão descendo pela Rodovia 9, no meio do deserto rochoso, quando avistam uma bela limusine branca. Mas para Ben, são raras as coisas que cruzam seu caminho na estrada, é assim, que sem pensar, ele empina sua moto e passa por cima do carro, destruindo o pequeno ornamento que simbolizava a limusine, na frente do capô.

    Excitados com o acontecimento, os passageiros do carro logo começam a investigar de que gangue se tratava e quem era seu líder. Ben e sua gangue param para relaxar no Kick Stand Bar, lugar onde mais tarde encontrariam Malcolm Corley, o fundador da última fábrica de motos customizadas do país ainda em atividade, a Corley Motors. Malcolm então entra no bar perguntando quem teria passado por cima do seu carro. Ben se identifica, e em poucos minutos já estão conversando sobre motos. Malcolm fala sobre seu passado e suas aventuras como motoqueiro, e Ben fica impressionado em saber que estava conhecendo o dono da Corley.

    É quando o vice-presidente da Corley, Adrian Ripburger, entra no bar e chama Ben para uma conversa particular. Ele comenta sobre a idade e os problemas de Malcolm, e oferece a Ben e aos Polecats a chance de trabalharem como guarda-costas da presidência da Corley em uma reunião anual de investidores da marca. Ben recusa a proposta, pois ele e sua gangue não fazem esse tipo de trabalho. Sendo assim, Nestor e Bolus, capangas de Adrian, armam uma cilada para Ben e o acabam jogando desmaiado em um latão de lixo. Sem saber da decisão de Ben e achando que ele já teria partido para planejar o percurso até a reunião, os Polecats acabam concordando com a proposta de Adrian Ripburger.

    Quando Ben acorda, percebe que todos já tinham partido e que teria que atravessar o deserto para descobrir o que estava acontecendo. No decorrer do caminho, conhece Maureen, uma excelente mecânica, que o ajuda a arrumar sua moto depois de um acidente planejado pelos capangas de Ripburger. Ben corre contra o tempo para alcançar sua gangue e descobrir os verdadeiros planos de Ripburger. Antes de reencontrar os Polecats, porém, não consegue impedir o assassínio de Malcolm Corley pelas mãos de Ripburger. Pouco antes de morrer, Corley revela para Ben os planos do vice-presidente de transformar a companhia em uma fábrica de vans, e que Maureen é sua única filha e herdeira.

    Pegos de surpresa, Ben e sua gangue são acusados pelo assassinato de Malcolm. O líder agora precisa correr para desmascarar Ripburger, salvar Maureen e libertar os Polecats. Para isso, cruza o deserto enfrentando seus rivais, os rápidos e loucos Vultures, os brutais Rottwheelers e os enigmáticos Cavefish. Assim que chega à Corley Motors encontra Maureen e, depois de alguns desentendimentos, Ben consegue se explicar e Maureen o acaba ajudando a recuperar a empresa e tirar Ripburger do poder. Ben salva os Polecats, Ripburger morre e Maureen consegue herdar a empresa do pai, como ele mesmo queria que fosse.

    No fim, todos comparecem ao enterro de Malcolm, como uma homenagem ao último grande produtor e motoqueiro apaixonado da Corley Motors.
    PERSONAGENS:
    Ben - líder dos Polecats e protagonista do jogo. Seu nome completo aparece apenas no manual, como "Ben Whatsisname", e em lugar nenhum do jogo, pois os idealizadores temiam serem processados porque a série em desenho animado Biker Mice from Mars era estrelada por um rato motoqueiro cujo nome era Throttle.[1]
    Maureen "Mo" Corley - filha ilegítima de Malcolm Corley e integrante secreta da gangue Vultures.
    Malcolm Corley - pai de Maureen e dono da Corley Motors. Patriarca da última fábrica de motocicletas customizadas, respeitada igualmente por todas as gangues.
    Adrian Ripburger - vice-presidente da Corley Motors e principal antagonista do jogo.
    Father Torque - antigo líder dos Polecats e espécie de "conselheiro" para Ben.
    Bolus - guarda-costas e cúmplice de Adrian Ripburger.
    Nestor - motorista e cúmplice de Adrian Ripburger. Este o descreve como o "mais esperto" entre seus dois capangas.
    Emmet - caminhoneiro e traficante de fertilizante. Odeia motoqueiros e policiais.
    Horrace - vendedor de souvenirs no Estádio Corley. De acordo com o manual do jogo, sofreu várias quedas de bicicleta sem capacete, mas Corley simpatizou com ele e lhe deu um emprego.
    Miranda Rose Wood - repórter que salva Ben no começo do jogo. Testemunha e fotografa o assassinato de Malcolm Corley.
    Todd Newlan - mora em um furgão em Melonweed. É dono de um ferro-velho. Seu melhor (e único) amigo é um cachorro.
    Quohog - atendente no bar Kickstand. Meio covarde, é facilmente manipulado.
    Suzi - líder dos Vultures. É o cérebro por trás dos planos de deter Ripburger.
    Darrel o segundo em comando nos Polecats depois de Ben.    … Expand

    A rock n' roll adventure and a revolution in video-game storytelling. Amazingly fun and dark still to THIS day. I played it like twenty already, and it's good as it goes.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. My childhood favorite this treasure engrosses you on the best of Lucas arts's adventure games taking you with Ben on a Mission to get out of financial debt. This may sound boring but the game twists up the plot from debt to exposing a killer super-villain who murdered in cold blood for money.
    It's short, sweet and the credits contain Easter eggs so you have to watch them :)

    Overall the best game I have ever played.    … Expand

    I will be short. It is a masterpiece. Must have for the collection. The interactive adventure which unfortunate happens on the braking point from 2D to 3D. So that the genre has not ever had an opportunity to get the sequel. Bravo for Lucas Art.

    Full Throttle when released in 1995 was a step in games becoming more cinematic and an early game to contain many frames and shots imitating an animated movie. Lucas Arts certainly spent a lot of time on the production of its visuals as its the shortest of the Lucas Art adventure games of the 90s.

Full Throttle does hold up well and while it isnt the best of all adventure games of the 90s, does have some good creative puzzles, characters and memorable game moments. The animation was fantastic and the one of the best of any games at that time, its cartoon style is still very good to this day. The decision that Lucas Arts made to make Full Throttle more serious in its theme and tone was a welcome one and shows how keyed in its makers were to originality and creativity. Full Throttle does end awkwardly which may be why its one of the lesser Lucas Art adventure games but don't get me wrong, it still is a Lucas art adventure game, and one of the great PC games of the 90s. Recommended even after all these years.… Expand

    My sister brought it onced when we were kids. We haven't managed to make a big progress, and then she had to give it back to who she borrow it from. Since than, from time to time, I have been thinking of it and finaly I found it somewere and made my way through the whole story in about a week. And that was only dissapointment i get. Great story, great voices, great music, great game.

    I got this game when it first came out and I was about 14... I absolutely loved it then, and I probably played it through three or four times. I've just got my hands on another copy, and I was worried it might not have aged well. IT HAS. This game is still amazing - while I'll agree that it's a little short, what there is of it is so much fun to play that it's easy to forgive.

    A classic game. The graphics are cartoonish, but are seamlessly drawn and animated. A standard point and click experience, but with a great plot and great voice acting. This has been re-released with Windows XP compatibility, so there is no reason why you shouldn't pick it up.
