Ben rides again

Great remaster of the interactive cartoon Full Throttle. Full Throttle is a game in the style of 'Day of the Tentacle'. It has nice cartoonish graphics and an original story. Basically you are the biker Ben who gets caught up in a complot around a motor cycle company. The game is point and click but in the original there was one, I found rather annoying, action sequence (I assume it is also in this version but I am not there yet). The graphics are nice cartoonish and in this remastered version, of course, in a higher resolution. 3D cell shaded objects are renderered on top of the backgrounds. I think the 3D objects looks absolutely great in this version. I played through 33% through this version this evening (I played the old version several times in my life so I sort of still remembered most solutions somewhat). The puzzles are not extremely difficult but I wouldn't call them easy either if you play it for the first time. It has great music especially in the part with the welder (which now also plays when you are in the main menu). Double fine did another great job on this game.

Come along for the ride...

...because you will finish this game full throttle. That's both good and bad. There aren't really any puzzles or difficult conversations to have. BUT! It doesn't matter. If you see this game as a short film in which you can occasionally play, then you're not far off. You play as the biker Ben, who's the leader of the Polecats biker gang. After being framed for a murder, Ben is off to free his gang, clear his name and save the daughter of the victim. This is all done in a "tough biker" way, and it's great. Using brute force where in any other adventure game you would use logic or intellect is a nice fresh way of playing, but also fits the character. The music, the sound effects, the great voice acting, it all comes together in amazing presentation. The game has a steady pace because of the forementioned description, and that's the only issue I have with it: it's over before you know. A sequel was announced but cancelled, but who knows, with all of the kickstarters and of course, this succesful remaster, what will the future bring? There's so much potential left regarding story and setting, it would be a shame to not do anything with it. Do yourself a favor and play with the original graphics. The new ones aren't bad or anything, it just lessens the old-school experience.

Best game of all time now even better

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.

Way too short

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!

As good as I remembered it!

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!
