Back to the Future 30th Anniversary Edition (PS4)

So I travelled 30 years from the future to play this game as computers are outlawed in the future and anything involving computers is banned, I borrowed my mates delorean, hit it up to 88mph and arrived in my chosen time line, went to my old house and played the game with my younger self! Great Scott! it's a telltale game so it's more of a story but if you just want to revisit that hill valley set and get that feeling of nostalgia, than this is the game to play, it starts off where Back To The Future 3 finished! I enjoyed it!!!

Came quickly than I thought best game to buy highly recommend

'Back to the Future:The Game' was one of the earliest episodic adventures released by software developer Telltale Games - famous for adaptations of The Walking Dead and Game of Thrones amongst others.Set six months after the events of Back to the Future III, Doc Emmett Brown is missing and the bank has started to forclose on his home. As Marty McFly sorts through Doc's possessions, the DeLorian time machine suddely appears outside with a recorded message for Marty...Doc is trapped in the past and needs Marty's help.What follows is yet another time-travelling adventure for Marty McFly to save the hapless Doc, that will take him back to the Hill Valley of 1931 - a time of prohibition and gangsters - and featuring the young Emmett Brown, Marty's grandfather 'Artie' McFly, notorious gang land boss 'Kid' Tannen, and manure.....there is always manure!Like subsequent games from Telltale, Back to the Future is an interactive drama graphic adventure which occurs over five TV-like episodes, played from a third person perspective, operating much like a traditional 'point-and-click' adventure game in which the player can interact with other characters and objects in order to solve the mystery of what has happened to Doc Brown.Unlike subsequent games from Telltale, Back to the Future has much greater emphasis on traditional problem solving and has little focus on character development and decision making. Unfortunately this is also why it fails to reach the high standards of entertainment and drama that those subsequent games did.Firstly, due to the source material being a family friendly film franchise, it is perhaps understandable that Back to the Future lacks the shocks of more adult-orientated properties like The Walking Dead and Game of Thrones. You cannot 'die' in this game, there is no violence (unless you count run-ins with manure trucks!), there are no quick-time events, and at no point does the game force you to make the kinds of tough choices that those games do or change depending upon the choices you make. Other characters in the game exist purely for you to drill them for information so that you can solve the next puzzle, and none of the conversation options you have to choose from will alter the way that they relate to you.What this leaves you with is a somewhat sterile game where you can - under no pressure from either time or enemies whatsoever - solve the game through simple process of elimination. Talk to enough people or interact with enough objects and you will eventually come accross the item or information that you need to proceed. Some of the puzzles are quite difficult, but the game even includes a clue-based system that will feed you information at request if youre finding the going too tough.This is not to say that its a bad game - in fact it has a lot going for it.The graphics are cool, exaggerated, cartoony representations of all of the most famous characters from the films, and voice talent is provided by original cast members Christopher Lloyd (Doc), Tom wilson (Biff), and Claudia Wells (Jennifer). Michael J Fox unfortunately is restricted to a special guest appearence, and the role of Marty McFly is taken by voice actor A.J LoCascio - although he does an admirable job in filling Fox's shoes.The storyline as well is one worthy of the movie franchise - an adventure in the past, full of crack-pot inventions, close encounters with distant members of your own family tree, and meddling with the space-time continuim - and the music for the game is taken directly from the movies, giving the experience an authentic feel.Sadly this game - first released in 2011 - is showing its age, and if youve been fortunate enough to have played any of Telltales subsequent games this is probably going to end up something of an empty experience for you, as it primarily serves as a testiment to just how far Telltale Games have advanced over the last five years.

Great game well worth the money and would recommend

It's ok not the best game we've played in the ps4

I bought this as a Christmas present and unfortunately the disc was loose so I had to open it to avoid any damage to the disc inside. Luckily though the disc looks unharmed and should make a good Christmas present! Thanks!

Got straight into this game and found myself loving it.. AND THEN half way through chapter 1 'error occurred'. Now with this game it's got manual save so soon as 'error occurred' pops up all is lost and back to where you last saved it. Found myself constantly saved as after half way through chapter 1 'error occurred' pops up randomly all time, even through chapter 2,3,4 and 5.. Reported it every time but nothing back.. ANNOYING !!!!!!!!

I am really enjoying this game at the moment. Brilliant story and nice graphics.

Pensavo fosse piu entusiasmante

Es una aventura en la línea de telltale pero que ofrece situaciones más complejas que las últimas aventuras del estudio. Aquí hay que estrujarse un poco la cabeza para resolver las situaciones donde el uso de objetos es esencial para avanzar.Entretenido y con buen guión.
