There are some small issues with this first episode such as the occasional bug, and changing camera angles can cause some confusion at times when moving Marty. It isn’t that the game is a complete breeze, but I am sure many players will be hoping for a greater challenge across the board in future episodes. Sadly, they are also rather easy and some solutions are repeated several times. There are some nice gentle nods to the films as well and the puzzles feel very natural. Players are tasked with freeing the Doc from the local jailhouse, which involves befriending a young Doc Brown, outsmarting a local gangster by the name of Kid Tannen and even serving a subpoena to Marty’s grandfather! This is all handled very well and the story moves along at a steady, cinematic pace.
There is also a robust hint system in place if players get stuck and a panel at the top of the screen shows the current objective at all times. The interface itself is very user friendly, with the main menu featuring the iconic DeLorean and the inventory looking suitably snazzy and futuristic. The controls will be familiar to those who have played Telltale’s previous adventure games, with the WASD or arrow keys moving Marty and the mouse used to interact with other characters and the environment. Before long, Marty has travelled back to Hill Valley circa 1931, a time of prohibition and the home of a 17 year old Doc Brown… During the sale of the Doc’s possessions (overseen by George McFly and needlessly hampered by Biff Tannen), the DeLorean suddenly turns up with Einstein the dog behind the wheel and a tape recorded SOS message from the Doc on the passenger seat. The storyline is very subtle to begin with, allowing events to progress without requiring too much heavy exposition. Marty and the Doc are exactly as you remember them, making their return an absolute joy. The heart and soul of the films relied heavily on these two leads and their unique personalities have successfully been captured with this video game adaptation. Fox and Christopher Lloyd have allowed their likenesses to be used, with Lloyd also reprising the role of Doc Brown vocally and new talent AJ LoCascio (interviewed here) stepping in as the voice of Marty McFly. Bob Gale, co-writer and co-producer on all three films, has been assisting Telltale with writing the game’s story and it really shows.Īdding an extra layer of authenticity, both Michael J. If there was ever a fourth film, this would be it. From the moment it begins, with its unique take on a classic scene from the original film, fans will be grinning from ear to ear. Episode 1: It’s About Time not only looks and sounds like an authentic Back To The Future game, but it feels like one too.
