Read moreThis time Marty is in serious trouble, as usual! He has crashed the time machine and is now stuck in an alternate timeline! Too much time travelling makes my head spin so I like that he stays in the same place and time this whole episode. Just the setting of Doc and Edna overseeing a 1984-like (ok, it takes place in 1986) Hill Valley makes this episode original and fun. The episode takes about 2-3 hours to finish just like the previous episodes in the series. Many people seem to want a longer game but I for one think that this is a perfect length for a game episode. Puzzles are easy but that doesn't matter since the story never gets boring and keeps you captivated all the way to the cliffhanger.
Voice acting is fantastic, with AJ Locascio doing commendable work as Marty. Telltale should be lucky that they found this up and coming voice talent! Christopher Lloyd has not as much to do in this episode unfortunately, personally I hope we get to see more of "old" Doc. His partnership with Marty is a classic one and feels just like in the movies (well, THIS particular episode might be an exception).
Bottom line is, you'll be happy as long as you don't expect a challenging game. This is more like a fun ride and a set of very good interactive movies. All who liked the original movies should get this game series, as the episodes just gets better and better.
