Back to the Future: The Game Review

47 Comments

1. De volta para o futuro

2. It really made me feel like Marty mcfly

3. Barbie meets back to the future

4. Telltale has always had graphics like this and to me it's fine

5. What is this review

6. The game wanted to be of a different style and time travel was the MAIN Selling point of the movie… So OF COURSE there is time traveling in the game

7. 2020

8. "i was able to solve the puzzle with time" so you wanted a puzzle so frustratingly impossible that you have to cheat by seeking online videos to solve them?

9. This game is 8 years old damn

10. I love back to the future and with some flaws I still love this game! It might be the fanboy in me talking but I would give it a 9 all day…especially by the voice actor for Marty alone…amazing!

11. the graphics were a disappointment, but the story was awesome. only other bad thing is, i wish we could've gotten to drive the time machine.
    I completed it twice, and I would definitely give it a solid 8

12. After all these years it's still one of my favorite telltale game series

13. So wait, he wanted a super dark and serious BTTF, and got a fun adventure instead?

    That criticism is dumb

14. All of those same criticisms can also be said about Greg Miller.

15. ;=; i miss..greg ;/

16. That impression at the end was shite.

17. They need to make an open world back to the future game where you can follow the movie timelines but also go off on missions and travel to all different time periods

18. "cartoony tale" lol are'nt half of all games ever created "cartoony tales"?

19. This one of tge games is not matter if it is perfect. This game is awesome 🙂 . To bad we never got a season 2 for it

20. Ign what type of review was this? I just finished it on xbox one and it is a brilliant head nod to fans of the series. And yes it totally can qualify as a bttf4. As a fan I loved it. Great story. 7.5 is too low. I give it a strong 9.5.

21. This free now on Xbox, I thought it was going to be garbage but the story feels like a true back to the future story

22. this crap should never be called a game, I cant believe they had the nerve to release it, I was hoping for a "gta" type game, but nooooo instead I got a childs click n watch colouring book!!

23. The Walking Dead looks like the comics. Minecraft Story Mode looks like Minecraft. Batman looks like DC. TFTB looks like Borderlands. This doesn't look like Back To The Future.

24. Wait . . . That, wasn't, Marty?

25. It's on PS4 for 5$, what do y'all say?

26. ps4 Easter sale brought me here lol

27. playing it on ps4 u quite enjoy it

28. If The Further Episodes Start To Get Shaky, Which One Should I Stop At?

29. Another Telltale game…

30. Marty isn't in COD 1.2/10

31. Okay well thanks for spoiling the first episode

32. Guys I felt the criticism here was perfectly fine. It's not a perfect game. This was a much more honest review than some other IGN ones.

33. >liberal

34. ign-1/10 its not cod

35. back to the future perfect

36. un 010
    se merese

37. Movie was good but the game looks awful lol

38. I liked the first games from telltales but this is too much of the same formula, walking dead 1 & 2, wolf among us, game of thrones, tales from borderlands, minecraft; back to the future, this is worst than call of duty now

39. awful reviewer…..

40. I'm still playing this game in the future (2015)

41. Some of the puzzles a re so odd that it takes so long to figure them out! There was a good balance of challenging and simple puzzles in this game. I mean, some of them were pretty simple tasks so that's why it was easy to figure it out, but there was a whole part where you literally have to walk back and fourth and it take you forever to find everything you need for the game to continue on.
    Also, the story felt very authentic to BTTF, and felt like a legitimate sequel to the third movie. I also loved the twist from episodes 3-5, they were unexpected and something that wasn't done yet in the series–which made it original and authentic. The dialogue was on point an hilarious, characters developed well, a lot of references to the 3 movies, and the voice acting was on point! That guy sounded exactly like younger Michael J Fox! Yes the animation was a bit cringe-worthy, but it wasn't as bad compared to games like Toy Story 3 for the wii. THAT was incredibly cringe-worthy… BTTF the game's animation was really only cringe-worthy at the lip syncing, and a few bugs here and there, but I actually enjoyed the style of cartoon they were in!
    My only suggestion for the gameplay would maybe have a 'game over' option kind of like a "caught scene" in places where I'd be necessary to think fast and if you can't solve the puzzle quick enough, you'd get caught, thus creating a cut scene of the space-time continuum being messed up or something. Then it could reset to before the puzzle to try again/or last save point. I only say this because at moments where you have to think fast :like with Einie and your other self and the tree. You have to keep from being seen by other Marty, but Einie is distracted by you, and you have to throw a stick at Edna to get rid of him. A moment like that should have a time limit and a caught scene because it kind of drags out if you take too long to figure out the puzzle, and then it loses an authentic logical gameplay. Also, the option of having different possible outcomes/endings based off of your choices would be a good thing to add too. Overall, I'd give the game maybe an 8 or 8.5 out of 10.

42. I dunno what the hell this reviewer was talking about, the direction the story took from ep 3-5 was a sweet twist! I really felt tense to not have Doc's help like you do for the first two episodes. and to [spoiler]have Doc become an antagonist was interesting[/spoiler]

43. Too much time travel 1.8/10

44. Make it for PS4

45. This game is perfect its almost like they made a fourth movie or even a fifth

46. Because its a mobile game not specially made for ps3!!!

47. Not enough water 1.8/9.1
