Released by LucasArts in 1995, Full Throttle is a classic graphic adventure game from industry legend Tim Schafer, telling the story of Ben Throttle; butt-kicking leader of biker gang the Polecats, who gets caught up in a tale of Motorcycles, Mayhem and Murder.
Now over 20 years later, Full Throttle is back in a remastered edition featuring all new hand-drawn and 3D high-resolution artwork, with remastered audio and music.
Finally it arrived! I loved this game and I was waiting for this remastered version. The next steps: Indy and the fate of Atlantis, Indy and the last crusade and The Dig :)))
I'm really glad of reincarnation of this beautiful game. It's my youth in it! Couldn't finish it when I was a kid. So I'm geatful for the second chance.
5/5
Nostalgic, beautiful, funny, atmospheric.
I played the original back in the late 90's so was excited to see an HD remake and pre-ordered it to show my support. Whilst overall I enjoyed the gaming experience I feel that it could have been so much more. I’m sure most people are aware of the story Full Throttle so I won’t go into too much detail.
My biggest complaint is that the HD version loses the ominous and grungy feeling of the original. It is a little to smooth/slick and just feels cartoonish in comparison. As an example, when on the mine road in the original the skies are dark and threating, in the HD version it’s just a little cloudy. By pressing the F1 key you can jump between the two versions – which I did constantly – and across the board the HD remake is just brighter (not in a good way). Don’t get me wrong, the HD version adds widescreen support and a lot more detail which is a welcome addition but for me it fails to retain the feel of the original.
My only other issue is the controls whilst on the bike or in the derby car are still just plain awful and should have been improved in this release and there are some janky/abrupt transitions between scenes and dialog that just feel a little off. All the other controls and interactions are fine, as per the original.
On the positive side the HD sound is fantastic – much clearer and vibrant. The extras such as concept art and jukebox are nice additions, but I would have liked the music to be separate MP3 files so I could listen to them elsewhere (I do like the music in this game)!
Full Throttle is still a great game (though not the longest, perhaps 2hrs) and this is a competent version, but I just feel the HD graphics could have been more faithful to the original feel.
This game has always been amazing. Having it remade in HD is a dream come true.
However, the magic was interrupted by glitches throughout the game. The new graphics feel... outsourced. There are multiple times when characters become misaligned from the 3D backgrounds. I first noticed it when Ben rides his bike from any side angle: you can see his hands out of sync from this handlebars. It happens all over the place, and it also happens in the final encounter, which involves characters in front of a 3D truck. Also, the addition of widescreen really ruins one puzzle.
There were several times I couldn't get the inventory window to go away (without selecting an item).
Still a worthwhile purchase, but I almost feel I was better off playing the original using ScummVM.
----- ENGLISH REVIEW -----
I never played the original game when it was released and I discovered this game on GOG when they were advertising it. I got curious because it looked funny and had a great music, and guess what? The game is like they show it in the trailer, the story is great, the music is great and it have a lot of jokes. The game is not perfect, and sometimes it feels “old” for who is used to new games, but this is part of his appeal. It took me almost 5 hours to finish, but it can take more, it depends if you are used to this kind of games with puzzles.
----- RECENSIONE ITALIANA -----
Non ho mai giocato il gioco originale quando è stato rilasciato e ho scoperto il titolo qui su GOG quando lo stavano pubblicizzando. Mi sono incuriosito perché sembrava divertente e aveva una musica eccezionale, e provate a indovinare? Il gioco è esattamente come lo mostrano nel trailer, la storia è grandiosa, la musica è grandiosa e ha un sacco di battute. Il gioco non è perfetto e qualche volta si sente che è “vecchio” soprattutto per chi è abituato ai giochi nuovi, ma anche questo è parte del suo fascino. Ci ho messo quasi 5 ore per finirlo, ma può essere più lungo, dipende da quanto siete abituati a questo genere di giochi con puzzle.
This game is waiting for a review. Take the first shot!
