Full Throttle Remastered is a graphic adventure game developed and published by LucasArts. It was originally released in 1995 and later remastered in high definition with updated graphics and remastered audio in 2017.
The game takes place in a futuristic, dystopian setting where motorcycles have been replaced by anti-gravity hover vehicles. The player character is Ben, the leader of a motorcycle gang called the Polecats. As Ben is driving through the desert, he witness a hovercraft accident and tries to help the driver. This sets Ben on a dangerous adventure involving a motorcycle company called Corley Motors, which is the last domestic motorcycle manufacturer in this fictional world.
The game follows a point-and-click adventure style where players must solve puzzles and interact with characters to advance the story. The remastered version features hand-drawn backgrounds painted by the original artists at a higher 1080p resolution. It also has remastered audio and music. The gameplay itself remains unchanged from the original.
Full Throttle Remastered was well received by gaming critics, who praised its visual upgrades, soundtrack, voice acting, and storyline. It's considered a classic example of LucasArts' comedy-adventure games thanks to its biker theme, nonlinear open world, and puzzle design. Fans of adventure games from the '90s, dystopian futures, and biker culture will enjoy the game's stylized graphics, dark humor and gritty but cartoonish violence.
