Full Throttle Remastered

Can't keep track of how many times I've played this game over the years since it first released. This remaster is exactly what I was hoping for and it felt great to have another excuse to play through it again (and again). Updated graphics, great special features (commentary, juke box, concept art), and higher quality sound. Won't lie that for me the soundtrack is half the reason alone that I come back to it again and again. It was so perfect before and now it's great to hear it in higher quality. If you've played the game already or if you've never touched it before you still owe it to yourself to play this game. It's a classic and masterpiece of adventure games.

Although it is one of the most beautiful game I've ever played, it is far too short for this price. The story has no big twists. The replay value is very poor...for that amount of money. For this money I could buy a novel which could engage my attention for 24-48 hours... Do not buy this for 16 USD, wait for a sale!

Awesome remaster! I would had sworn that the new version IS the original that I played 20+ years ago; were it not for the knowledge that 320x200x8bit graphics do not look like fullHD graphics! Extremely respectful of the original (throughout the game I kept switching between the remastered visuals and the original and the syncing was down to the frame!) so happy about it!

Full Throttle is one of those unique games that just nailed it back in the days. This remastered version just proves how good and original the game was and still is. However, this is not lucas art's greatest adventure game. Far from it. It took me 4 hours to beat the whole thing. The puzzles are easy and the areas are straightforward and unidimensional. What's really great is the design, the characters, the graphics, the music... back in the days, this was one of the first CD games to come out. Multimedia, graphics and realistic sounds were more important than actual gameplay. Just compare X-Wings to Rebel Assault (gameplay vs. FMV!) The late 90s were a time when the industry had an opportunity to show that they could be taken seriously... 3d rendered models, nice drawings, real music, voice acting and a movie-type experience was what mattered. Computers were able to generate quality graphics and sound and the CD allowed more data to be transported (no more 10+ floppy discs games! Do you remember Phantasmagoria??) If you want a great adventure game, pick up Day of the tentacle. If you want to experience a very well tough out game, Full Throttle is litteraly part of gaming history.

Some remastered versions are not worth its title, let alone your time and money. Fortunately, this is not the case of Full Throttle. Double Fine Productions doubled down on player expectations and delivered a fine polish of a true masterpiece of the 90s. Upscaled graphics that keep the tone of the original, remastered soundtrack, a whopping array of languages (six for subtitles and four for voice acting). Even though it’s a given that not a single translation could ever match the original cast, the foreign actors actually did a fine job of it, a rare thing to find in games. Audio commentary from Tim Schafer and part of the original development team from LucasArts is also a nice touch. More than a hundred and forty concept art sketches are also available. As for Full Throttle itself, well, what could I say? One of my favorite adventure games from LucasArts. Even though it’s somewhat short and after more than two decades its flaws can shine a bit brighter (a nonsensical plot point here and there, but I’m nitpicking), replaying this version was a genuine pleasure. The late Roy Conrad delivers a stellar performance of Ben Throttle, with Mark Hammill matching the hero with an awesome villain portrayal of Ripburger. I could go on, but I’d rather hear from you if you’ve never played it. Even money you’ll never look at yellow bunnies the same way.
