| okr said: LucasArts (formerly Lucasfilm Games) was the best adventure game developer ever. Bolded: Among the best point & click adventure games ever made Full Throttle is an excellent adventure game, but not even in my top 5 LucasArts adventure games. In comparison to LA's other greats It's too short, has too few locations and a bit too simple puzzles for my taste (not that anyone would care today, but back then fans and critics cared; the bar had been set so high with its 1990 to 1993 predecessors that Full Throttle felt like a minor disappointment to some fans in 1995 - and then they released The Dig aka LucasArts' POS based on an "idea" by Steven Spielberg...). An excellent game like Full Throttle not even being in my top 5 of the company's adventure games just shows just how good Ron Gilbert, Tim Schafer, Dave Grossmann & Co. were at creating these games and influencing a whole genre - see e.g. my sig, this game is strongly influenced by LucasArts - like no other company. Except Sierra On-Line of course, but I always preferred LA. |
It was short indeed, but at least it wasn't dragged out, I was mainly drawn to the animation style, the way they used the music, and the badass scenerios in the game. My second fav in that genre is Grim Fandango because it had an awesome style to it and the story was good :D The Monkey Islands are also awesome, especially The Curse of Monkey Island which is just pure amazing.
