Great story and voice acting ruined by bugs and elementary game play.

User Rating: 5.5 | Back to the Future: The Game - Episode V: OUTATIME PC

I've been following this series with a passion. After playing the first title I was a little disappointed by the lack of polish, awkward controls and the elementary click left mouse button to do everything gameplay, but the story, voice acting and characters more than made up for this.

I found, however, that each chapter appeared more buggy and generally more sloppy. Both Episode IV and V have had bugs that have caused essential cut scenes to lag and crash (and I'm one in many to experience this it seems). When the only thing going for a game is its plot, then this is the last thing you want happening.

I did enjoy this series and Telltale have done an incredible job of ressurrecting the franchise in a faithful and nostalgic way, but when dealing with a title as big as this they should spend a lot more time on production values.

For the lack of gameplay and the amount of bugs, I would've preferred this as a pre-rendered cartoon.
