Although not my absolute favorite LucasArts game (that has to go to Sam and Max/Monkey Island) this is a winner too. The artwork is outstanding. So is the music. And your main biker character is just plain fun to walk around as he continually embarasses himself. Only complaint: I wish the game lasted longer.

Despite being a fairly unchallenging point-and-click adventure Full Throttle still remains one of Lucas Arts' most inspired games of the last ten years. Easily one of the funniest games they've ever produced, the story is set in a not-to-distant future, one where wheels are in danger of being obsolete. One such company, Corley Motors, specialise in only making wheeled vehicles, specifically motorbikes. But their over-zealous vice-president wants to change all that by hatching a plan to kill it's owner. You play Ben, the leader of The Polecats, a motorcycle gang, caught in the middle of this murder story. You must find out what dastardly plan Adrian Ripburger (The VP voiced by Mark Hamill) has hatched for Corley Motors.

There are some wonderful set-pieces, the best one involving a platoon of motorised bunnies hopping off into a minefield. If you have an adaptable computer it's still largely worth a play. It has a great soundtrack and an involving storyline.

Perfect Game! Fun to play and a killer soundtrack by the Gone Jackals. I went right out and bought it. The voices were done well except for Maurice. It was funny, and had a lot of action too. The ending is still fun to play over and over.

This game's a great time waster, fun from the first frame till the credits and the funny little bit after them.

Sure, the story's pretty thin, but the images are great, the music's great and the game's so much fun.

So, on a rainy day, why not head out on the ol' mine road for a while?

Full Throttle tells the story of a bikie gang. It's hard to get too caught up in the plot without giving too much away. The game plays like a tense but darkly humorous bikie gang film. It had bike chases, turf wars and great voice actors (including the great Mark Hamill!)

A lesser-known country rock band named The Gone Jackals play some absolutely banger numbers in the background. It was a cinematic masterpiece for its time and I really wish someone out there would turn this into a real time cinematic crime drama. It would have a cult following but with the right cast, this would be widely popular.
