FT is also a perfect example of how music can make half the experience. The Gone Jackals, a biker band, provided much of the music and it’s situated so perfectly that it’s almost as if it was written especially for FT. Add to that a very good cast of voice actors, some very funny lines, and you’ve got a nearly flawless game.
The game has great atmosphere and style. Ben is a likable fellow and makes a good - if slightly atypical - adventure hero.

For someone who isn't an adventure gamer, this game was absolutely pleasing. I found it thoroughly enjoyable albeit a little quick to end... but on the whole, this game is good.
Although many gamers have criticized this title as being too short, Full Throttle's amusing story and well-developed characters make this shortcoming easy to overlook.
An excellent game, full of plot twists and unusual situations that will keep the player engrossed for hours. The gameplay is excellent.
The graphics, particularly in the cut-scenes, have the unmistakable LucasArts quality that we have come to expect but, unfortunately, the game is let down by the limited amount of interaction and problem solving involved.
Although the quality of immersion is excellent, it is somewhat transient, no doubt leaving many feeling short-changed. In the end, though, the intrigue and originality of the story make it a very important adventure game for all fans of the genre.

A rock n' roll adventure and a revolution in video-game storytelling. Amazingly fun and dark still to THIS day. I played it like twenty already, and it's good as it goes.

I will be short. It is a masterpiece. Must have for the collection. The interactive adventure which unfortunate happens on the braking point from 2D to 3D. So that the genre has not ever had an opportunity to get the sequel. Bravo for Lucas Art.

Amazing game, one of the best in the genre's history. A must for fans of Adventure games and a recommendable title for newbies or anyone curios about older Tim Schaffer stuff.

In comparison to the other classic Adventures I dont think Full Throttle has the same level. The graphics is very good, but the dialogs are boring: Not much humor, and they are simple. The riddles were easy and the story, just good. I prefer Zak McCracken, Maniac Mansion or Monkey Island. On the other side, you need to invest only few hours to know this game, so why not?
