User Review : Back to the Future - Episode 3

Ups
  • Great story
  • Usually great voice acting
  • Sequel to the movies
Downs
  • Odd camera angles
  • Lots of sound glitches
  • Bad graphics

Has the series gotten any better? Or worse?

Back To The Future episode's 1 and 2 were great. 1 was much better than 2, 3 is, lost somewhere in the middle. In episode 1 we re-visited the town of Hill Valley and the characters Marty McFly and Doc Brown, in episode 2 its pretty much the same thing only with a twist. In episode 3 we have a new setting, but the action level is down severely.

Story: Marty and Doc go back to good ole 1986, only to find that they messed up pretty bad. Marty crashed the time machine so there is no chance he will be able to go back to 1931 and fix the problem....again. Apparently now Doc Brown has created a too-perfect utopia out of Hill Valley, and Marty has to fix it by convincing Doc to re-build the time machine.

Graphics: Graphics are still the same. Bad. This is probably the biggest problem with this game that I have. If your a graphics junkie, avoid this game, unless your a die hard BTTF fan.

Gameplay: You will spend most of your time talking to characters and figuring out problems that are a little too easy to figure out. This episode is much more repetitive than the previous two, and it can get boring if your stuck.

Difficulty: Most of the puzzles are easy, but there are a couple that forced me to look in the hints.

Fun Factor: You will not have as much fun out of this than the previous episodes, but its worth it for the story, plus you'll need to know what happens here when you play the fourth episode.

5.0
Graphics
I love this series, but the graphics are very bad.
7.5
Sound
Voice acting is great, but the game is filled with sound glitches.
9.0
Gameplay
very fun, if not intelligent point and click game.
7.5
Fun Factor
I'll give this a 7.5 because it really depends on the player. If you are a fan of the series (ME!) then you will love it. If you've never watched them, you'll just play it for the trophies and mildly intriguing story.

8.7

I really cant believe you are complaining about the graphics, they are not bad, they are meant to look that way damn

Maybe, but I do not particularly like this game's. I usually tell my friends, "Graphics don't matter, its all about the gameplay." But I just can't get past this game's graphics. I dunno why, maybe a different art style would have worked better for me.

thanks for the review, I had completely missed this game. A point and click adventure on the ps3... intriguing.

Are Gamers Ready to Embrace Episodic Gaming? (This Is My Joystick)

It is no secret that life would be much easier for the gaming industry if we all just handed over our bank details and downloaded games directly from the game publishers. They can dictate the prices whilst also destroying their arch enemies: The evil rental and used games market.

Although broadband speeds are improving, we are not quite ready for downloading games that are 30GB plus in size just yet, but maybe developers and marketing companies have come up with their own silver bullet, with the words “episodic gaming” written on the side to destroy their enemies once and for all.

I am down. If u dont like it, u r done. Also, u know just what u r getting for ur money. Also, u know the next installment will be story related and not some cheap dlc thats tacked on afterwards.

Not at all . All i've from games doing it , even good ones , are the publishers cutting and dividing what's scarcely available , rather than proposing something filling you , then building another ep on top of that .

basically they create a 15 hours games and chop it up by segment of 3-4 hours . No thanks
