This is the most "action-y" LucasArts adventure game I've played yet. While I understand the developers must have thought they did everything they could with just pointing and clicking and wanted to try something new, the experiment did not quite work for me. I'd take a duel of insult over a bike battle or bumping car minigame with awkward control. The protagonist has the "he moves slow only because he doesn't to move for anybody" energy, which is pretty badass, and also stretches the game's not so impressive run time. I'm usually not one to complain about games being too short, but Full Throttle can definitely use some more dialogue, especially with the excellent voice acting.
