Their funn-ee adventures raise laughs where rival attempts curl toes; their moody adventures conjure suspense where others spirit farce. It ism't obvious how. Full Throttle's animations, backdrops, sound FX and speech are all admirable, but on paper do not account for this being the best adventure of the year to date. ——————————————————————————————————1/5—— Cee Cee 476 Bee Bee 450 Gee 620 LOOK: BAMBER'S BUST HIS FACE! p458 More Reviews Comp-o-Tips Letters BamberP472 Teletext 472 May31 20:48:04 ————————————————— ——————————————————————————————————————— The typical novelty of Full Throttle's plot may help explain what lifts it above the usual fare, which tends to involve policemen or aliens. You play the stupidly-named Ben, leader of the Polecats biker gang, who must try and stop his cohorts being framed for murder. Then you find the Mark Hamill-voiced killer and have him hung. Probably. ——————————————————————————————————2/5—— Club 12 440 Club Nude 475 WEN A LITTLE ALIEN SOLDIER p475 More Reviews Comp-o-Tips Letters BambjrP472 Teletext 472 May31 20:58:58 ————————————————— ——————————————————————————————————————— Full Throttle is unmistakably LucasArts The cartoon graphics handle comedy and fear with equal efficiency, combining with smooth cut sequences and arcade sub-games. The major of these - randomly batter a rival biker to the tarmac with sub-Road Rash unsubtlety - ism't actually very good, but it's still light relief. The interface is the old one-click-fits -all, with speech options displayed during conversations. Just right, dear. ——————————————————————————————————3/5—— Cee Cee 476 Bee Bee 450 Gee 620 LOOK: BAMBER'S BUST HIS FACE! p458 More Reviews Comp-o-Tips Letters BambjuP472 Teletext 472 May31 20:36:16 ————————————————— ——————————————————————————————————————— Full Throttle sports typical LucasArts puzzles: nothing groundbreaking (plenty of lock-picks and meat for doggies), but usually with a twist. What's particularly rewarding is that as a hard biker, you are routinely expected to kick doors in and smash people's heads onto tables. The one major minus is a demand for 8Mb RAM, though it partly atones by running capably with only a 1Mb HD install. Smooth, smart, slick. Buy it, snakes. ——————————————————————————————————4/5—— Club 12 440 Club Nude 475 WEN A LITTLE ALIEN SOLDIER p475 More Reviews Comp-o-Tips Letters BamberP472 Teletext 472 May31 20:47:21 Full Throttle PC CD-ROM £40 by Virgin/LucasArts Rjq: 486,8MbR GRAPHIX 91% UPPERS: Another SONIX 93% LucasArts classic.
