They have done fans a favor by putting all of the episodes on one disc. Both the Wii and Playstation 3 have this game. Want to know the good news? This game is selling for under twenty dollars.

There is enticement to lust, blood, and violent content in Back to the Future The Game.

The biggest shock for this reviewer is the language. Quite a few 'R' rated words were used in Back to the Future The Game. This is very shocking. The voices are very realistic, and sound spot on with the real life voices. The music is brought back from this franchise in a way that brings back memories. But Back to the Future The Game creates new ones as well.

The idea of releasing episodes for a franchise is one that TellTale Games has perfected. Back to the Future The Game is not their first time to dance this tango. They have numerous franchises done in episodes. What is new is putting all of them on a disc and selling them. This is a wonderful idea. The WMG appreciates all of the episodes in one place.
