His dialogue is so straight that it is absurd at times, and the voice actor is brilliant in conveying his sincerity in the face of absurdity. Ben is a stoic, Clint Eastwood, square-jaw type who only cares about his bike, his gang, and his freedom. Not something at all remarkable, because he had worked on The Secret of Monkey Island, Monkey Island 2, and Day of the Tentacle. The game displays all of Tim Schafer’s sense of style and humour. The story and plot have not changed one iota from the 1995 original, but if I were involved I would’ve made one small tweak: make Rip a slimy investment banker looking to profit off of market manipulation of the company to bring the game more up to date. On the road, Ben and the Polecats (and Malcolm) are betrayed by the slimy Rip Burger and hijinks of the point and click variety ensue. Down on their luck, they are offered a job escorting the legendary owner of Corley Motors, Malcolm Corley, to a board meeting. You control Ben, the leader of the Polecats, a group of bikers in the not-too-distant future. The game’s story is simple as any story about biker gangs should be. Full Throttle is another entry into the remaster library, but it is a game very few modern gamers played, and it is the first time console players will get to experience the legendary 22-year old LucasArts adventure game. Especially this generation, because we seem to be getting remasters of games many of us played in the last five years. Remasters of old games are controversial.
