Back To The Future - The Game PS3

There are moments in the latest episodic adventures at Telltale that will remember you exactly why you love back to the future. And you do. By law, yes. Little brilliant sound as the story begins. Pure joy to see Marty and doc meet for a last adventure. When Delorean reaches 88 mph. Nostalgic blows like this gland geek like nothing else and just for a fraction of a second, a game that offers can do nothing wrong.



Unfortunately, Back to the Future has five episodes and those hot fuzzies are a remote memory by the end of the first. For the rest of the game, you need to settle for the least inspired Telltale, clearly focused on the latest license around their standard adventure template rather than find out how to convert the best Back to the Future in a game. There are no cerebral twists traveling in time, such as those on the tentacle day, for example. No one.



Instead, you are forced to prevent a lot of very light, uninspired puzzles, but the worst of all, boring, based more on the logic of cartoons than movie tropes. If they had romantic time, but iconic, Telltale fails lamentably in creating their own Hill Valley since 1931, other than a studio lot. A studio batch full of comedy gangsters and slapstick that makes Bugsy Malone look goodfellas. Almost all you meet feels, if not bad, cheap, hurried and called.

The only exception is the main story linking all puzzles. This time, we will see the past of Doc, since the beginning of his scientific career, with the chronology first in danger of one of the ancestors of Biff's gangs and then a love adventure that risks Hill Valley to a state in the style Big Brother.



What makes him work is that, despite some incredibly stupid moments, it turns out to be an incredibly powerful emotional kernel for the story. As with all decent spinoffs, the best elements are when it expands on film philosophies and puts new questions. Without wanting to spoil something, the greatest here is precisely what gives Marty the right to choose the "correct" chronology, just because it is better for him and the loved ones. The game still often struggles to find that genuine sensation back to the future, the final episode coming out especially several times, but at least try.

With the same story, better puzzles and the license taken seriously, it could have been worth the game fans back to the future. Indeed, while his adventure chops do more than one of the old scroll platforms with the logo of a popular film on the box, exactly the same type of thinking in the production line is clear, painful, in place here . Marty and the doc deserved better. So do we.
