I was deeply disappointed by this first entry in my demo weekend. The graphic style of this Back to the Future setting adventure game is fun and comic booky, but I was instantly turned off by the childish goals, and inept camera controls (or lack thereof). It's possible a hardcore Back to the Future fan would be interested to follow Marty's adventure in 1986 (and who knows when else), but this demo didn't sell it to me whatsoever.
The demo features the first challenge of the full episode, which only takes about 15 minutes to fully explore, plus some narrative (a dream sequence, how original). The gameplay is what you'd expect from an adventure game: look around at stuff, collect items to solve puzzles. I used to love this kind of thing!
The game earns itself a nostalgia tag for being able to reign in Christopher Lloyd to voice Doc Brown, but besides that, I was mostly unimpressed. The five episodic adventures will set you back a mere $19.99 on the PSN, but it hardly seems worth it, right now. The whole thing will go on sale on Steam sooner or later.
