Not Your Usual Lucasarts Game
Full Throttle has a unique atmosphere and is very different from Lucasarts' other adventure games, both in theme and gameplay. It's enjoyable and well worth buying, but it remains kind of a black sheep compared to their more popular and better-known titles. The most obvious flaw is the short length- I finished it in about 5 hours, and that was being very thorough, examining everything, and listening to the audio commentary. They threw a lot of money into the original game, were a bit overambitious, and could only do so much with the time and funds they had. Whether the controls and gameplay are a problem is arguable. The puzzles are very different, less reliant on inventory items than most adventure games, and range from surprising and clever to annoying or frustrating trial-and-error stuff- personally, I'm impressed with how often they managed to create a decent challenge when the player had so few possible actions to take and items to use. The clunky skull-shaped interface doesn't take up any extra screen space, but is a bit awkward to use compared to other games. The click-to-hit combat system is nothing special and actually kind of annoying. The remaster is extremely faithful to the original, and the improved graphics really allow the great art design to finally shine through- the original was too blocky and indistinct to do justice to what they were going for, and now the game is much more immersive and enjoyable. The characters are memorable and very well voice-acted, the soundtrack fits the game perfectly, the humor will definitely get a smile out of you, and the world they've built is imaginative and cool and makes you wish you could explore it in more depth. A bit of concept art and audio commentary are always a nice bonus, as is the option to seamlessly switch back and forth between the original and updated versions. If you liked the original, you'll like this. If you've never played it, it's a fun (if short and imperfect) ride, and worth getting.
