Back to the Future - The Game for Wii Reviews by Gamers

This is a fun game, and it would get an 8/10 instead of a 6/10 if it wasnt for the glitchy frame-rate issues. The game is very choppy, and loads very slow. Plus the controls are a little funky to get use to. But im a die-hard Back to the Future fan, so once i got into this game, its pretty cool if you can just ignore the choppiness and get use to the control layout.

If you're a Back to the Future fan, you’re guaranteed to like this game. Although I was never really into point and click games such as this, I decided to try it because it's Back to the Future. If they ever were to make a Back to the Future game, it would have to be a point and click game like this. Back to the Future just isn't that kind of movie; you can't turn it into a legit action game. That would be like making an action game out of a romantic comedy, you just don't do it. That's where the old Back to the Future games went wrong for the most part. Some of the puzzles are pretty challenging and really get your mind into the game, which in turn aids in engrossing you in the story. The story isn't quite as good as that of the trilogy, but it's more entertaining in the sense that you're in the story. And in a way it serves as the Back to the Future 4 we've all wanted, in a similar way that the 2009 Ghostbusters game serves as a Ghostbusters 3. The story starts off a bit predictable and somewhat of a rehashing of the movies. It goes from stopping Doc from being murdered in 1931, and preventing the Tannens from becoming a powerful mafia family. But then the plot evolves into an alternate 1986 where Doc rules Hill Valley alongside his wife Edna as they try to create a race of "perfect" humans. It also looks a little deeper into the ancestries of the characters. We get to see Marty's grandfather Artie McFly, and his great grandfather Willie McFly (who was in Back to the Future 3 as an infant). We also get to see a teenage Doc and the conflict with his father, which lead to him to becoming scientist. And we also meet Biff's father Kid Tannen, a 1930's gangster. However there is quite an abundance of graphical issues. They're all glitchy and they jump around, the dialogue isn't always in sync, and there are the very rare times where Marty will disappear. That may be different on other versions of the game, but if you're a fan, you should still check these games out.

Thought there would be some actualy gameplay. Played the game for a good 3 hours but it was mainly just finding clues and asking people questions and searching for items. Thought maybe it would be more involved than that, so was glad I rented and didn't buy.

If you can get your head around the lag that happens excessively and the long load times, there's a interesting story hidden underneath. I'd recommend it to anyone who loved the movies.

Okay, negative stuff out of the way first: the game play on this is really clunky, like the title says. Sometimes almost distractingly so. You get the feeling the company that made this really wasn't given enough money to animate everything properly, so they just kind of threw things together quickly under a deadline. Getting to the next chapter isn't the easiest thing nor is saving the game, and sometimes even clicking things doesn't always work very well. :(

Even with all of that, the game is still a lot of fun! Great to hear Christopher Lloyd again, and the actor who plays Marty sounds just like Michael J. Fox. Whoever wrote this must have been quite a fan, because the characters seem right on, and everything feels very much in the spirit of that universe. I sat down with this game intending to give it just an hour of play and then go on with the rest of my day off, and instead spent the next NINE hours with it! I'm sure for the hard core gamers, this is nothing, but for me this is an exceedingly rare event!

So, while the game has a lot of problems, if you're a fan of the movies you should give it a try. I'm happy I did.

I like this game, It brings me back to 1985 when the movie came out.
It was a little gard to play but its a good game.
Thank you Gamefly.

This is not the most polished on the wii but it is one of the more higher quality. This is a simple point and click adventure game. If you played Tales of monkey island you will be familiar with the playstyle of classic adventure games only broken up into five bitesize chunks that arn't too confusing or long. The story takes place about 6 months after Back to the Future Part 3, where the Delorian travels to Marty in 1986 and you soon find yourself in multiple time periods that all aboud Doc Brown.

Each chapter takes about two hours to complete if you take time to explore the world, and you should. This game is jam-packed with cool Eighties refrences to things from Wierd Science, to Star Wars, and even Tron.
The best part of this game is easily the sound quality and attention to music and voice acting, its so reminiscent of the classic films that you can easily overlook the cartoonish graphics.

The bad parts of this game is the port to the wii. The graphics don't look as good as it's pc counterpart and the framerate can be terrible at times. This game also tends to have frequent loading that interupts the gameplay. However since this is not the type of game that needs lightning fast reflexes of boasts mind-blowing graphics. these issues can easily be overlooked.

A Wholey satifyiny experience with plenty of charm and great respect for it's source material, Back to the Future Tha Game is a very fun, very casual point and click experience That fans of the films have to love.

This game would not load at all on my WII, I tried cleaning my machine but kept receiving an error. So I tried another game and it worked fine then attempted B2F again with no success.

Game wouldn't load,didn't work at all.
Got as far as the "select a chapter or scene"whatever, looked kind of "cheesey!" Then it kicked me out to the Wii
menu.

While we love the idea and concept (who doesn't love BTTF??), the game play was way too slow to make this game interesting. If it was, say, Lego BTTF, that would be a lot more fun. As it is, not worth it.

Bound to be enjoyable for any fan of the Back to the Future film franchise. The story, writing, and voice acting are all great (they found an amazing Michael J. Fox sound-alike to play Marty), and it's loaded to the brim with fan service. It's clear that the makers of this game know the source material well, and revere it. The frame rate lags a bit, but hey, it's a point-and-click adventure; it doesn't have to run as smooth as silk.

So, yeah, if you love Back to the Future, then give this all-new adventure a spin. You'll be glad you did.

Boring and long!

The first few minutes into it i was bored and the 'interactive conversation is boring as well...the charactersmove slow and the graghics worse than of Call of Duty Wii.... I dont even recomend renting
