    For all fans of the series, this game is a must play. Not because of the game itself, which in all honesty, is a solid effort, but not much else. It is because it is as good a story as the films. In fact, that is the best way to approach this game

    Archaically self contained, with little illusion of a wider world outside. [July 2012, p.90]

    Why was this even added? It is exactly the same as the digital version except for the platinum. Is it not bad enough that they already split the game through five different parts; its all one purchase... Expand

  2. Yeah Jacarda is ColdHardTruth is telling a WarmSoftLie (well that's not the best pun, but let's see you do better). This is interactive story telling at its best you couldn't get a better BttF story if it were made by Rockstar North. Expand

  3. Back the the future: the game simply is disappointing. With graphics being sub-par and story telling boring, it all adds up to an average gaming experience. It does have good voice acting and theme music of back to the future. The simple puzzles and behind it's time comedy acts don't do this generation of gamers any justice. Gamers would welcome a retail version with a full story with gorgeous graphics and fun and rewarding game play. More features are needed to hand this game a solid rating. Sorry this one is better left to the hardcore Back to the future fans. Score 6/10. Expand
