A real classic

It is not a very long game. Well, not if you've played it already. Since it is linear, the game doesn't have much replay value other than reliving the story again. When I played this game (when it first was released) I loved it, the atmosphere, the music, and its somewhat simple story. And I am happy to play this game again. And yes, it is old.. I admit that. But I have to say that most games don't age this well, and certainly not many games from that era. So if if you want a good game, that isn't too challenging, but quite enjoyable (if you lilke bikes too, that certainly helps) There aren't many of those around. Not that will stick in your mind like this one at least. Then get this game. It is a very enjoyable game, and one that I think will still be quite playable down the road again. My only whish is that Double Fine takes this opportunity to create a new game in this setting. I've missed it, and would like to revisit this world again.

Fun Frustration

Full Throttle is a Point & Click with action sequences that seem oddly out of place. It has humour, bikes, and great music if you like rock; it's also kind of annoying. First, those action sequences. You basically drive around on your bike and punch people, throw acid at them, or hit them with a chainsaw. (The funny part is that the main character Ben gets framed for a murder he didn't commit, but I'm pretty sure I ended up watching him murder at least three people over the course of the game, which to be honest I don't mind because they were all pricks and probably deserved it.) Anyway, the gameplay here is fine, I suppose, just not amazing, and the game could honestly do without. Second, Ben is the slowest man alive. Of course you don't have to do too much walking, but when you do, you'll probably feel an urge to shove Ben off a cliff just to see him go fast for once – without his bike, that is. There's also the fact that almost every time you switch screens while on the bike, you get a tiny little cutscene of Ben turning and driving off, which is neat, but gets old quickly. Occasionally, there is a semi-hidden timer, meaning if you don't click fast enough, you'll just die. Other times you have to do one thing after another, less obvious thing, or you'll have to do the first thing again because it failed. Of course, as a Point & Click, it also has some obscure puzzle solutions which I won't spoil, but that just comes with the genre sometimes. If you can put up with these nitpicks, you'll get a fun 3-4 hours out of this, and even though I was annoyed, I'd still recommend it. I like that this edition lets you switch between classic and remastered graphics/sound while playing, for a side by side comparison. While I'm not personally a fan of the updated graphics – same goes for DotT and Monkey Island – I think they are very well done and the sound definitely needed some polish.

Questionable remake of a great game

The game is, of course, still terrific and atmospheric. Having discovered it with the remake, I loved it. But the redrawn assets lack some of the original detail. The sounds got a great upgrade though, and widescreen scenes look nice, which makes you switch between the original and remake all the time to see what you're missing.

Terrible

I love point and click games, they've got a lot of charm, a huge amount of interactions, and can test your wits. This game however has none of that. While I do like the aesthetics and animation, I am severly disappointed with this game. From the extremely bareboned attempts to pad out a 30 minute story with terrible logic puzzles that force you to go through a ton of hoops, to a majority of linear areas that have less than 3 interactive parts. It feels a lot like the Bubsy 3D to good 3D platformers... At least I got this game when it was free, yet even then, I think that may have been a price too great to pay.
