Supremely well-written game; so maddeningly funny and compelling you'll want to explore everything. A classic.

User Rating: 9.3 | Full Throttle PC

Gameplay: Adventure games have traditionally been cumbersome to play, forcing the gamer to make all of his/her moves using a slow and tacky command interface on the bottom portion of the screen. Full Throttle cleans it all up with a simple, unobtrusive, four-command interface - either a graphic pops up when you click an object that lets you choose what to do, or you can just highlight the object and hit the corresponding command key. Simple.

Graphics: Very stylized; almost like a comic book. Animations aren't extremely smooth (nor is the framerate), but the art is fantastic.

Sound: Voice acting is PHENOMENAL, even for small-time supporting characters. Soundtrack provided by the Gone Jackals is fairly nice to hear.

Value: If you play Full Throttle straight through, no nonsense, it's a pretty short game. But you won't want to play it that way. The game is so outstadningly well-written you'll want to thoroughly explore every area, say every possible line to each character, triggler every cutscene, and treasure every joke (and there are A LOT of them) thrown in just for the sake of making gamers laugh.

Tilt: As with every Tim Schaefer game, the real joy of the adventure is the story, the humor, the characters - in summary, the outstanding quality of the writing, something most of the sexy, big-budget new titles lack. YOU WILL LAUGH constantly playing this game, which alone makes the game well worth a purchase.
