A shoddy cash grab adaptation consisting of awful minigames.
Ugh, they really did the movie dirty with this Back to the Future game. Like, it kinda looks like the movie, but playing it? Frustrating mess! You gotta toss clocks at bullies on skateboards, the DeLorean's a pain to control, and even Doc Brown is yelling at you. Forget saving history, I just want this game over with.
This is a beyond idiotic game. But its idiocy is pretty endearing. Collecting clocks? Dodging bees and hula hoop girls? Throwing milkshakes at bullies? The music being at 10000 bpm? It all makes a for a pretty hilarious package.
The actual game isn't too hard once you learn the tricks to it. You just have to stay near the bottom of the screen while clock colllecting, so the bees despawn quickly. And then you basically spam the milkshakes in the cafe stage.
The only cool thing is that the picture of Marty and his siblings won't fade out anymore after the Enchantment Under the Sea dance. That's the only logical thing about this game.
The clocktower run at the end of the game has the DeLorean at least. Too bad you only get one shot at it!

It’s a crappy auto runner that barely resembles the movie. At the very least it’s very straight forward so at least it’s easy to follow even if it does suck.

I've played this game more than any other person. If you actually know what the hell you're doing you can finish it in 30 minutes. I've grown to unironically enjoy this game to the point where, if I don't know what to do, I'll just fire it up and blast through it. Yes, it sucks, but that won't stop me from loving it.
