GSY REVIEW | PC, PS4, Xbox One Tuesday, April 18, 2017 | 6:01 AM

We reviewed Full Throttle Remastered

For our 19,000th news article, we are welcoming another old glory from the past: Full Throttle Remastered. If you're old enough to have played the game or to have read the reviews back in 1995, chances are you don't need to read our verdict to know whether or not you want to buy this new edition. For the others though, check out what we think and the videos. Just don't watch the 40 minutes of footage we have put up if you intend to okay the game yourself.

Verdict

Despite its age, Full Throttle remains one of the best point and click games ever released. It's only flaw is it's short length, which was pointed out in the reviews back then, but those who know the game by heart - and can complete it in a couple of hours - will be happy to be able to play it again, with added commentary this time. Tim Shafer (project leader), Larry Ahern (lead animator), Casey Ackley (production manager), Stephen Shaw (lead programer), Peter McConnell (compositeur) and Clint Bajakian (lead sound designer) have indeed reunited to give us anecdotes about the game's development. For a discount launch price of $11.99 on Steam ($14.99 being the full price), it would be a shame not to discover Full Throttle if you have never played it.

On the plus side

+ It's Full Throttle
+ The original version in the press of a button
+ It's Full Throttle

I love Full Throttle!!!

And the remaster seems to have been very good. Because of its short length, it's definitely a title to play multiple times. Perhaps with the old graphics first, then the remastered visuals, and then with added commentary.

PS. Congratulations on your 19,000th news article, Gamersyde staff!
PS 2. You guys are old, like real old. :P

I am old enough (33) to remember how awesome this game is. When point and click was still killing it.

I can't believe i never saw this game! I missed out, It's pretty entertaining and funny. maybe i passed this up many years back, if i could remember. I was definitely a gamer back then. I just never saw this in motion like this.

Perfect, like 'Monkey Island Remake'-perfect. That's 15 bucks well spent.

What's up?

droezelke I met Jennifer Batten today. She signed my guitar. Me so happy. Amazing guitar player. (13 minutes ago)
GriftGFX @Sdarts: larger scale and deeper vehicle gameplay would be a pretty big change (40 minutes ago)
Sdarts one coming to mind right now. But I'm sure there's others I'm just not recalling at the moment. (44 minutes ago)
Sdarts Though in all honesty, I don't believe Ubisoft will do it, and if they do, it won't be anytime soon. If I'm not mistaken, there's not many FPS open world games. Homefront: The Revolution is the only (45 minutes ago)
Sdarts @GriftGFX: I want a different enough style of gameplay, in hopes of a different enough game experience. Far Cry: Primal burned me out, it was exotic, but at one point I just saw a poorer FC3 and 4. (46 minutes ago)
GriftGFX @Sdarts: I think you'll get more fantasy Far Cry.. which seems to be what you want.. but I doubt they'll be called "5" or "6" (53 minutes ago)
GriftGFX I hope they get that right. I don't expect Battlefield-quality flight models but it would be nice. (59 minutes ago)
