Back To The Future: The Game (Episode 3 of 5)
Title: Back To The Future: The Game (Episode 3 of 5)

Release Date: May 26, 2011

Time Played: 2 hours
Completed (Y/N): Yes
Score: 4/5
Opinion:
After seeing the ending for episode 2 I was very excited to jump into episode 3 of this 5 part series.
I am going to say it straight up. This is what Back to the Future is all about, this is by far the best and most interesting episode so far. The whole episode takes place in an alternate 1985 (current time in the movies), and Marty is trying to figure out what made it all go wrong and how he is going to fix it. He is unable to simply travel back in time, as the DeLorean gets destroyed at the very beginning of the episode.
Just like the previous two episodes I played episode 3 on the iPad, and same as the previous episodes on the iPad, this one has technical issues; however it must be noted that they are far more minor than in episode 2. As with previous episodes there are a few points where the game does not do a good job in communicating what you should be doing, and the built in hint system points out the obvious without helping you figure out what you should be doing. Overall the story flows together nicely, keeping things interesting, and they seem to get much better at getting you excited for the next episode, and after seeing the ending for episode 3, I cant wait to play episode 4. From the looks of it, I will finally be able to do what any time traveler wishes he can do, and that is to tell people around him/her that they are a time traveler. It should be interesting where they take it, and I hope that those other characters dont simply dismiss you as a lunatic.
I can gladly say that the story does not get stale or boring, so it is totally worth it to play through the series; however, as before, I recommend playing through it on PC/Mac and not the iPad to have a much better visual and technical experience.
