1.0 out of 5 stars HORRIBLE GAME, July 31, 2002

This review is from: Back to the Future (Video Game)

This NES game is nothing like the movie. You ride a skateboard through a street and dodge very deadly objects, such as soda cans, bannana peels, kidney beans, etc.. That's it... the whole game is you on a skateboard, a side-scrolling screen, trying to avoid objects being thrown at you. Why are objects flying at you? who the ---- knows????

= Fun:1.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Back to the Future (Video Game)

Back to the Future is one of the more popular movie franchises in...the movie industry. The game based off of the movie.....was a bombshell. It isn't even based off of the movie, since there's barely anything that relates to it.

You play as a guy who's supposed to be Marty, but doesn't look like him. You walk through streets, collecting clocks and shooting bowling balls. That already sounds nothing like the movie. The music is as annoying as the game itself. It loops until you turn off the game.

There is this one scene, however, where you play the guitar (In an awkward way), and different music plays. However, it's not Johnny Be Good. Instead, it's a garbled 8-bit mess.

Could the game be any stupider? Yes, it can.

This review is from: Back to the Future (Video Game)

LJN has a bad reputation of medicore or terrible games but they made some decent or good games but this is one of their worst yet to come.

Loosely based on the 1985 masterpiece "Back to the Future", it seems your in Hill Valley 1955 as you must try everything to collect clocks to save the time and your life from being erased from existence.

In this game everything is out to get you from bullies, girls with hula-hoops, men with glass plates, bees and darts. Here Marty is all dressed up in black like a punk instead of wearing his red jacket like in the movies and the music in this game loops over and over again like it makes you a bit crazy. There's some good things in the game that help fight enemies such as bowling balls you can use to throw at them and bad things like the skateboard which makes you go fast but you can't stop as this game goes in a bit of "Paperboy"-esque route of racing. There's even some hard mini-games which is a breath of air from the horrible music playing such as the hit the bullies game which you have to kill 60 of them with milkshakes, a game where you have to avoid being seen by Marty's past mother and the hardest one where you play at the high school prom.

All in all, it's a real piece of junk from LJN that should be avoided even if you are a fan of the movies.
