Citizen Brown is as good as the whole series, but the difficulty of the puzzles still is a problem. They are a bit more diverse and funny now, but still not really challening enough. But after three of five episodes it looks like this adventure series will be a milestone.

Although the story helps a lot to improve the third episode, playability this series is still walking the same path. Same mistakes, same rating as the previous part. [Issue#204]

"Episode 3: Citizen Brown" of Back to the Future: The Game is an absolute standout and, without a doubt, the best episode of the series so far. From its engaging story to its captivating gameplay, everything about this installment is a cut above, surpassing even the high standards set by the first two episodes. I can confidently say that I absolutely loved it! The story in "Episode 3: Citizen Brown" takes the time-traveling adventure to new heights. It's both gripping and emotionally resonant, as it delves deeper into the complexities of time manipulation and the consequences of altering the past. The narrative unfolds seamlessly, introducing intriguing twists and surprises that kept me at the edge of my seat throughout the entire playthrough. In this episode, the character development is remarkable, particularly in exploring the transformation of familiar faces due to the time-changing shenanigans. The interactions between characters are heartwarming and profound, making them feel even more relatable and endearing. The gameplay in "Citizen Brown" is equally impressive. It strikes the perfect balance between challenge and enjoyment, with puzzles that are cleverly designed to test your problem-solving skills. I appreciated how the puzzles integrated seamlessly with the narrative, adding a layer of depth to the overall gaming experience. Moreover, the attention to detail in this episode is commendable, as the developers have clearly poured their hearts and souls into crafting a captivating and authentic Back to the Future experience. The environments, the music, and the voice acting all contribute to the immersion, making it feel like I've stepped right into the iconic world of Hill Valley. Overall, "Episode 3: Citizen Brown" is a shining example of what an episodic adventure game should be. It elevates the series to new heights, delivering an enthralling and emotionally rich story that keeps you eagerly anticipating what comes next. If you've enjoyed the first two episodes, you'll be blown away by this one. It's a true gem in the Back to the Future: The Game series and solidifies its place as one of the most memorable and enjoyable gaming experiences I've had in a long time!

Ist ganz witzig, qualitativer als die vorherigen zwei Episoden und nicht mehr so schwer, man kann die Rätsel jetzt mit normaler Logik schaffen.

An awesome piece of very approachable (if not plain too easy) fan service and, in this case, pleasing fans ain't bad at all.

While it would be nice to see some side quests or branching environments worth exploring, and a few minor glitches result in some awkward scenes, Telltale's Back to the Future remains one of the better film adaptations in video games, and I can't wait to see where this series goes as Telltale begins to build towards a conclusion. If episodes 4 and 5 build on the series as much as this entry has, you won't want to miss it either.

Part 1 was okay, but you almost have to love Back to the Future to make it through. Part 2 was pretty good, but with an awesome cliff hangar. But 3 is just as good as it gets. It's nice to see what happens when someone with the power to control time itself decides to instead go into politics. But what really sells all of the games is the character interactions that really feel genuine. If I'm being honest, I may only have left at 7/10 if I wasn't such a huge BTTF fan. But heck, it's my review.

In the end, the leap forward in the story helps a lot to counter any disappointment with the gameplay, though the latter won't change the minds of anyone let down by it in the series so far.

I dig the humor, the puzzles, the voicework and the setting. I think the story takes the characters to some goofy places in the end and I didn't feel like I'd accomplished much when everything was said and done, but that's far from a deal-breaker.

Citizen Brown is without doubt the worst episode so far published. We hope for a sudden improvement in the fourth chapter.

Citizen Brown's story is predictable, its dialog lacks Telltale's usual subtlety, and it takes far too long to ramp up the action. [July 2011, p.77]

If you're a BTTF junkie, it's a must have. It has the same flavour as the movies, even that little things. The story is fun but the puzzles are rather easy. Just enjoy the ride

Yes, it's short in overall length. Indeed, it is an easy puzzle-solver. The controls still leave a lot to be desired and the graphics haven't gotten any flashier. However, the story arc in 'Citizen Brown' is SOOOO good you'd think the game writers stole the long fabled (and rumoured) script to BTTF4 instead of coming up with this sharp plot themselves. And the level design is perfect. This episode is the best of the bunch thus far and with two more episodic games still to come the legacy of this series continues to shine brighter by each passing release.

With a great intro and a great dilemma for Marty, Citizen Brown is the best part so far. Let's hope this trend continues. Voice acting, graphics, and sound were all great.

It is a bit better than part I or part II, plot is quite nice, I really liked to meet Jennifer here. From technical point of view, it is not so visible that you can't go where you want and you have to strictly follow predefined paths. But still it seems to be a bit too easy for me. It is really more like interactive movie than a real game.
