crossover_chickAnd talk about a game full of mood whiplash! Goes from funny to dark to funny to dark to HILARIOUS. I really should be getting to bed, but here's a few highlights:
-->Opening cutscene is a call back to the shots of Doc's lab in Episode 1 -- only now it's Emmett's lab in 1931.
-->Proof I've been playing Alice too long -- I tried to get Marty to jump via spacebar. XD
-->Marty's new alias, thanks to Citizen Brown, is Yakov Schmirnoff. That's a vodka, isn't it?
-->I discovered much hate for Citizen Brown early on -- bastard took the step of chloroforming himself! And then hid him in a bathysphere, forcing Marty to take drastic measures to get him out.
-->A sliding walls puzzle near the beginning did me no favors -- especially after Marty glitched, walked up an invisible staircase, and got himself trapped. *facepalm* Had to restart.
-->Da da da daaaa -- Edna IS the Speakeasy Arsonist! And is a total fucking loon besides. You are so lucky Alice isn't in this game, girly.
-->Edna pulls the "What the hell is that" trick -- and they all fall for it! *facepalm* Marty, YOU at least should know better.
-->Get Emmett ready for his expo, and -- Holy Crap, it's Judge Brown! He's a fat guy with sticky-out ears.
-->Marty plays family counselor and gets them to make up. It's actually rather touching.
-->Emmett's invention flies, and -- SHIT EDNA JUST STOLE THE DELOREAN!
-->And Citizen Brown is fading out -- I had hate, but seeing Marty sitting there next to him, holding his hand. . . :(
-->Emmett's finally got the right hair! And he's full of sciency goodness.
-->Awww. . .Marty gives Emmett part of a newspaper article about him getting the key to the city, after having him promise not to look at it until he gets it. I SO wanted them to hug.
-->And -- our Doc's back, hooray! And here comes Willie, with the news that Artie indeed married Trixie to get her job back! Marty freaks, but we have bigger fish to fry. . .
-->As Hill Valley itself fades away! O.O
-->Turns out Edna Strickland ended up back in the past when Hill Valley was just starting out, started a new life as Mary Pickford, decided to burn down the Palace Saloon when Beauregard Tannen started building it (huh!), and managed to burn down THE ENTIRE TOWN. Good work, virtuous one.
-->Go back in time, stop Edna, nearly get ourselves killed playing the "sync the cars up to get her home" game. . .
-->Edna's in jail! With Kid Tannen! Hilarity!
-->But there's still that little problem of Artie marrying Trixie --
-->Oh hey, guess what Trixie's real name is? XD Sylvia! Sylvia Miskin to be precise. Marty has a minor BSOD when he realizes that he's seen Trix naked. And another one when Doc mentions taking pictures of her back in the past. Hehehehehe
-->Back in good old 1986, Doc reveals he has a semi-permanent residence in the present, and that the estate sale is now a garage sale. Also that his dad created a scholarship for young scientists. Awww. :) Even more aw-worthy, Doc was back in the past to finish a graduation present for Marty -- a complete biography of his family tree. He was looking for info on Grandma Sylvia. :D
-->And then Edna shows up with Einstein! What the -- she's a dogwalker now? And --
-->OMG SHE MARRIED KID TANNEN BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA *dies* Marty and Doc's reaction is basically "We're going inside and forgetting we ever saw that."
-->Except that there's more hilarity -- here comes future Marty! Who needs help saving his twelve kids.
-M: O.O-
-J: . . .I like kids, but, uh-
-M: O.O-
-J: Marty?-
-M: O.O-
-J: I think we broke him.-
That's nothing -- TWO OTHER Future Martys show up and start arguing. XD Marty and Doc decide, "Oh, screw you all, we're having an adventure just for fun," and fly off into the sunset.
-->And then, after the credits -- TO BE CONTINUED. Wheee!
Aaand now I've stayed up way too late, so night all! Expect more Alice tomorrow!

Date: 2011-06-24 10:17 am (UTC)I knew it!!
I have to find out when this comes out for PS3. And play episode 4 still. And properly play episode 3. I was rushing the first time and skipped all the cut scenes.

Date: 2011-06-24 04:36 pm (UTC)I don't know if they've put out the date for that yet -- but yeah, go ahead and play Episode 4 while you're waiting. :p

Date: 2011-06-25 03:08 am (UTC)Though you neglected to mention that Doc was **SPOILER**hit by the DeLorean**SPOILER** while he was fading! The LPer wanted to cry. So did I. I'm telling myself he wasn't solid enough for impact and was just on the ground due to fading in general.
And epic ending was epic. Plus Michael J. Fox plays both William and Future Marty, which is also epic. The LPer was fanboying out ("OMG I get to talk to him!"), hehe. I can't wait to play it.

Date: 2011-06-25 03:15 am (UTC)Well, I didn't want to give everything away -- plus I wrote that at 2:30 in the morning. It was a horrible moment, though. D: The look on Marty's face. . . And he sits there and holds Citizen Brown's hand while he. . . :( Stop making me all sad, videogames!
Epic ending was SILLY epic. XD I loved it. And yeah, I know! That was so totally awesome, I can't blame the LPer for fanboying. :D Hope it comes out on your platform soon!

Date: 2011-06-25 02:44 am (UTC)That said - the ending was very WTF-ful. I don't blame our heroes for deciding "Screw it, you're on your own." (Though my response would've been going straight to bed.)

Date: 2011-06-25 03:00 am (UTC)LOL, I know. The ending was made of silly. Though I thought it was a little touching that, upon Marty asking who the "real" one was, Doc said, "Who do you think?" and patted him on the shoulder. :) I suppose Marty and Doc figured they were due some downtime -- and hey, they have a TIME MACHINE. They can come back right after they left and THEN deal with the various Martys. (Me, I'd have 'em all explain their cases and decide which one I'd like to be the most. :p)

Date: 2011-06-25 08:41 am (UTC)And how funny was that last bit with all the Martys?
And I loved it when Doc and his father had their fight, bitching each other out like that.
And the Micheal J Fox cameo was great!

Date: 2011-06-26 02:31 am (UTC)*snork* Silly city. Me like. XD
That was interesting, to say the least. Somebody on TV Tropes mentioned Judge Brown looked like Teddy Roosevelt, so now he's Angry German Roosevelt to me. XD
Cameos! And they were indeed! :D
