The setting, plot, and characters in Full Throttle are perhaps its biggest strength, and the world it transports you to feels reminiscent of that in the very first Mad Max film, offering up a fascinating version of America that – while still clearly functioning – has a pervading feel of lawlessness to it. Taking on the role of Ben Throttle – leader of the Polecats biker gang – you'll find yourself embroiled in a noir story of murder and betrayal that could threaten the very future of motorbikes. As with last year's re-release of Day of the Tentacle, Full Throttle Remastered represents another chance to reconcile memory and reality, and if you're unfamiliar with this classic LucasArts point-and-click adventure, it also happens to be the best way to experience a title that holds up surprisingly well in an era where episodic Telltale adventures are king. It can be surprising just how big the gulf between recollection and reality can be, leaving you to wonder if your brain just might be responsible for some of the greatest video game remasters of all time. Never has the fallibility of memory been clearer than when revisiting video games from the past.
