Great Scott, I come from the future of 2023.I saw this game from the angry video game episode when he reviewed the back to the future games.
Compared to the others, yes this is a better game. It's not a masterpiece but at least it follows the plot of Back to the future part 2.
Graphics. It's very colourful, detailed for each level from the past, present & future. Marty & the other characters look like their film counterparts aside from having big heads.
Sound The Theme from Back to the future plays for various levels with variations which can get tedious but its good they used a proper version of it compared to the other games.
Addictive I might pick it up again after finishing it but there aren't many secrets to find.
Story, The story follows Back to the future part 2, you go from the future of 2015, then alternate 1985 then the past in 1955 to change history after Biff used the Almanac to change history for the worst.
Depth: Each time area consists of Marty clearing stages by reaching the goal, avoiding enemies & obstacles. Followed by a boss fight with Griff, Biff in alternate 1985, his lackeys & finally Biff in 1955.
Difficulty: This is a difficult game, but due to how stiff the controls are for jumping & attacking. Marty is always on a hoverboard which limits what he can do.
Marty can jump, skate along faster & spin to attack enemies & obstacles like projectiles.
It took me many tries to finish some levels, I used save states, the worst areas were with spikes, floating balls & places with some boss fights where you have to use switches to damage them, jumping on them doesn't work. It's an interesting idea to use switches etc to hurt bosses, rather than just jumping on their heads.
overall it was a fun game to play, it's a shame it wasn't released outside of Japan.
