Lacks Gameplay, But a Good BTTF Story

This isn't as much a game as it is experiencing another Back to the Future story. It takes place after the 3rd movie, with great voice acting and pretty simple, short puzzles. The environment has the same feel as the old movies and the story is great. Remember though, there isn't much to the game itself, you basically solve a bit of a mystery by solving a few puzzles.
There are 5 episodes in total, and you end up in several different versions of Hill Valley. Many of the characters in the movie are in this game, and you interact with many of them. Biff, Jennifer, & Marty's Father all play significant roles in the story. The basic premise is that Doc's timeline gets all screwed up when Marty unintentionally gets him involved with a woman named Edna. You end up having to fix the whole thing, and many different twists happen along the way.
It's a fun story to experience and the puzzle solving keeps you involved enough. It's a good game as long as your not looking for action. The movies are some of my favorites, so experiencing a new Back to the Future story was quite fun for me.
3.5/5
