Back to the Future: The Game
Back to the Future: The Game is an episodic graphic adventure video game based on the Back to the Future film franchise. The game was developed and published by Telltale Games as part of a licensing deal with Universal Pictures. Bob Gale, the co-creator, co-writer, and co-producer of the film trilogy, assisted Telltale in writing the game's story. Original actors Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd allowed the developers to use their likenesses in the game for the lead characters Marty McFly and Doc Brown, respectively. Although Lloyd reprises his role as Doc, A.J. LoCascio voices the role of Marty, while Fox later appeared to voice two cameo roles in the final episode, reprising his role as Marty as three future versions of him, in addition to voicing his forefather William.

Where Back to the Future: The Game sits on the grid
The grid places every game in the catalogue on measured axes rather than on an opinion. This is where Back to the Future: The Game lands on each map it has the data for, with the share of the catalogue it beats on each axis.
- Year
- 75ahead of 28% of the catalogue
- Reach
- 40ahead of 81% of the catalogue
Percentiles are against the games that carry a reading on that axis, not the whole catalogue: counting a game with no figure as a zero would flatter everything that has one. How the grid works.
What readers say about Back to the Future: The Game
Reviews written by people who have played it. These are separate from the GamingPickz Score and are never averaged into it: that score comes from thousands of Steam reviews with a sample-size correction, and a handful of unverified ratings would distort it rather than improve it.
