Again, If you were bran in the 80's, then you have probably seen the hit movie Back to the future, The story of a young hipster named Marty mcfly who travels in time and must get back to his current town, It sounds like the perfect?movie to be made into a Nintendo game right? Well you are going to see that for yourself, This is back to the future for the NES.
Story-5/10 The story is pretty much the same as the movie It is based on, A you teenager named Marty mcfly is sent back in time?to the year 1955, He then meets a bunch of other people on his visit, Such as Doc brown, his parents, and his wife Jennifer. It is now up to you and I say YOU, t help Marty mcfly get back home.
Gameplay-4/10 In this game, you control Marty mcfly, as you adventure through more then 9 big levels getting from point A to Point B, Now the first thing you will notice, This game is not a platformer! Instead, it is an overhead view game where you control Marty as he runs automatically through the level collecting clocks and avoiding a bunch of weird obstacles, such as girls with hula hoops, Guys with windows,? bees, etc. Where did they come up with this stuff? Oh yeah, the game is made by LJN, a game?company known for making a horde of Terrible games for the NES, and they make toys and action figures as well. But anyways, there are 3 worlds in the game, and there are about 4 levels each, once you finish the 4th level, you will be treated into a bonus game where you do weird stuff like stand in front of a counter and throw these white things at dudes, or catch notes with a guitar, It's downright weird. Did LJN even watch the movie before making this game? Of course not. They just want to make a quick buck of off of Michael J Fox's "Beep"!
Graphics-4/10 Really? This is what you call back to the future? Well for starters the running stages all look and feel the same except the colors keep changing, and as for the characters sprites, oh god are they awful, Everything looks like a freaking pixel thingamajig Especially look at Marty! In this game he looks like he is wearing blue baggy jeans and some sort of blackish shirt, He didn't wear any of that in the movie! The HUD is pretty self explanatory, It shows you how much points you have racked up, and some other weird stuff that I could honestly not care jack about.
Sound-1/10 I am being honest when I say this, the only song you are going to be hearing in this whole game is one never ending song that doesn't sound like anything you would hear in the movie! It just keeps looping like "Dun dun dun dun da da da da dun da da" And It just goes on and on and on As for the sound effects, they are hardly noticeable, but they are there, You get little beeps, boops, slams, and a bunch of other crud. And that freaking song is all you are going to hear for the entire game, from the start, to the very end, It is irritating to say the least.
Addictiveness-2/10 Is this a game I am going to play again? Please gods no, It is not, I have only played this game 9 times and It has already be the bane of my childhood! Curse you LJN! Can't you make a good game on the NES for just once in your life? You guys are absolutely destroying the NES library here with terrible games that are not worth any of our time at all!
Depth-1/10 No no no no, and NO! There is absolutely no reason to ever come back to this game after you finish It! You beat it once, you just put it away forever, and ever and ever. The game is pretty short as well, There are only 3 levels, so you can beat it in about 1 hour or so. Well It is LJN, so what to expect?
Difficulty-9/10 This is one of the second hardest games I have ever played on the NES, It is right up there with ghosts and goblins! This game is so hard that only a true video game expert can get through It all in one piece! Trust me, I have only beat this game 2 times in my whole life, And on a real console!
Overall-2.9/10 You guys already know, Do not buy this game! It is the biggest waste of money ever! I remember paying full price for this thing And I already feel ripped off, You guys should know why I gave this game a 2.9 out of 10! Because It is a game that is so bad It does not belong in the NES library, It deserves to be burned! This has been Red here, And I am signing off!
