Status : Offline | The hardest puzzle in the game turned out to be getting it to run. I ended up copying a DLL file from Puzzle Agent to replace one that was causing conflicts in Back to the Future. Never had to do something like that before with a game.
Though I enjoyed it a lot, albeit mostly from the standpoint of a somewhat interactive movie than as a game. As a game this is one of Telltale's worst efforts. But as Stiler said, the story and voice acting are great. You can tell an incredible amount of work went into making the game feel like the films, and it really pays off in terms of presentation.

Status : Offline | Yeah, I've been enjoying it. Haven't had much time to play lately but so far I really like it. No brain busters in it but looking at it more for storyline/characters (as I do most adventures, never been one for puzzles galore first and foremost) it's a great solid fun game.
If you like the films, you'll enjoy it.

Status : Offline | I just read a review of this game on another AG site. They gave it 4 (of 5) stars but described it as having "awkward, console-oriented controls" and "many" timed puzzles. Not my type of AG so I'll pass on this one.

| Deleted User | The voice actors chosen seem to do a great job impersonating MJF and CL which I assume was the intent. I haven’t encountered any timed events but then I’ve only reached 1931. Controlling Marty McFly using the mouse seems almost impossible in walk mode so forget about running. :-X
The good news is that one can use the wasd keys instead which is soooo much easier.

Status : Offline | Come to think of it, this was not even mentioned in the trailer, although it is a selling point for people like me who loved the films when we were younger. On the other hand, Telltale seem to focus on "just the story" in their PR material in general (just my impression based on limited experience), and I understand the decision not to mention Mr Lloyd in light of the fact that Michael J Fox is not reprising Marty. (And you were 50% right! )

Status : Offline | Christopher Lloyd does pop up in the behind the scenes promos, but you're right, the game trailer makes no mention of him. Rather odd.

| Deleted User | At age 72 I see that Christopher Lloyd is still highly involved with various filmography projects. Good for him, I say. I now think it's really great that he hooked up with Telltale to work with this project.
I watched Michael J Fox who recently appeared on an episode of SNL. With respect to his diagnosis and current prognosis of Parkinson’s he still seems to be doing OK. Thank you Telltale, I bet he’s watching this. 8-)

Status : Offline | i was hoping back to the future would improve my opinion on telltale. im sure their games are well done but there has always been something stale and unengaging about them for me.
this is unfortunately no different. there is always something missing with telltale games and i think if they cant get me into a back to the future game then they cant get me into any of their games.
i wish i could put my finger on why i cant enjoy them.
