I just played Episode 1 for about an hour or so and the attention to detail really is amazing - the story never feels like fan-fiction and the dialogue, behavior, mannerisms are very consistent to the film series rather than being just a pastiche of familiar quotes and references. Finally, a faithful adaptation of the BTTF universe in gaming!

Now, that aside - putting my critical hat on I can say that the game leans on the easy side and is pretty much linear in that you'll be addressing one puzzle or issue at a time. I'll be impressed if there's more than four hours of gameplay in an episode and I think general gamers who love the BTTF franchise will probably want features like being able to control the DeLorean. (I don't know yet if that happens though)

However, this is really such a great gift right before Christmas and the game universe is really entertaining - I think this will end up being one of my favourite games for 2010.

A good BTTF game, Telltale did it!
