Full Throttle: Remastered Reviews
Tim Schafer and his team did a great job on updating the story of biker Ben. Despite some flaws, the game has become much more beautiful and enjoyable. Additional materials, as well as the ability to switch between an old and new versions of the project will delight Full Throttle' fans.

Worth playing, but you'll want a walkthrough.
There is obviously an enormously high bar for the LucasArts adventure game catalogue, and Full Throttled Remastered doesn't quite hit that standard.
What worked in 1995 works smoothly even today. The legendary adventure game Full Throttle haven't aged, so don't be discouraged by its age. Full Throttle Remastered is a must play ride.

As a game, this is, for the most part, your standard '90s LucasArts adventure: humour, great visuals, wacky solutions to puzzles, and all. It was never a golden classic, but it certainly deserves its place in history, albeit only for the most devoted of genre fans, since it is way too short and easy. As for the remaster at hand, it retains Double Fine's love for its past creations. Long story short: check it out.
Full Throttle Remastered is more than a usual remaster and it is more like a complete remake. The original game had some gameplay issues which they are still present in the remastered version of the game. The action sequences of the game are still suffer from bad gameplay but overall, this Full Throttle Remastered is a great adventure game and a fantastic remaster.

Full Throttle Remastered is a must-have on PlayStation 4. As a huge fan of point and click adventure games, and after enjoying Grim Fandango Remastered and Day of the Tentacle Remastered, I had been looking forward to playing this one on Sony's home console. The game still holds up nicely even after all these years, so kudos to Tim Schafer and the team for doing things right the first time. The audio has been reworked considerably and this, along with the revamped graphics and the 16:9 presentation gives us the best and definitive version of the game. If you're a fan of adventure games, you have to give this one a go. And if you're a fan of the original release, then you're definitely going to love this new take.
Full Throttle is as great as it ever was, with a charming story and interesting puzzles. The remaster does little to add to this, but it's still very much worth your time.
The plot is not as epic as some other LucasArts adventure games, but it really doesn't need it. At the end of the day, it's a story about a guy who is on the run and wouldn't give up his wheels... Somewhere there is an heir to a major company, too. Full Throttle Remastered gets the highest compliment an adventure game from 1995 could get: it did not need to be remastered. It is a pretty short game, which wraps itself up at breakneck speeds at the climax, but it is definitely a ride worth taking at least once. Best to play it in the classic mode and take in the atmosphere from a bygone era. Some parts are a bit of a pain, but it is all worth it for the ending.
Good remaster of a classic, that dramatically increases the degree of detail without damaging the style. Unpretentious in terms of gameplay.

Perfectly executed upgrades to both the audio and art bring Full Throttle brilliantly into the 21st century.
Full Throttle's strength is found within it's compelling story and colorful characters. A new artistic style and a masterful soundtrack selection by Tim Schafer. Even if it's shorter than most adventures, it definitely left a mark in my gaming career.

A glorious ride down a futuristic California that never was.
Full Throttle Remastered is an excellent new take on a beloved classic game that you have to play on PS4. It's one of the best games in the adventure genre, and its revamped look and remastered audio make it the definitive version. There are areas where the game hasn't aged well, but this is not a deal-breaker. If you like adventure titles and haven't played Full Throttle, you have to try it today. And even if you've already played it, the new look and other improvements will make it feel like a new game.
Full Throttle Remastered is an excellent adventure game lovingly remade for the current generation. There are some bumps along the road, as the bike combat sequences still feel out of place and some puzzles suffer from “adventure game logic” syndrome, but overall, Double Fine Productions has done an amazing job with this remaster.
When Full Throttle works, it's a delight—a well-paced, funny story with only a few cringeworthy moments (the final scene between Ben and Maureen being possibly the corniest of them all) and a brief, but satisfying run-time. As far as strict remasters go, you can't do much better than Full Throttle: Remastered.
A joyride through other people's nostalgia
Full Throttle Remastered is a wonderful love letter to a genre past its prime and a very good game for those wanting to experience classic gaming at its finest.
A cinematic, high-octane, but short-lived adventure, lovingly remastered for a new generation.
