This game is the biggest load of crap you will ever play. If you like being frustrated for a while than this is the game for you.

Graphics: 6
The graphics actually aren't too bad for the time period, except for when Marty gets smushed against the wall in the cafe. The DeLorean looks cool.

Sound: 2
I'd give it a one because the stupid annoying song plays almost the entire time, except for when you play guitar at the dance.

Gameplay: 2
Controls are fine, but the Hill Valley scenes are boring and get to be beyond difficult. The mini games are fun to play but almost impossible to get to.

Overall: 2
This game is terrible. I got this for Christmas when I was a kid and I was so disappointed. No replay value and, as an added bonus, if you fail to go 88 miles an hour when you cross the finish line it says "Sorry Marty, you're stuck here" and then reverts to the title screen. What a waste of a half hour.

Maybe instead of playing this game you should call your dentist and see if he can perform an emergency root canal. It's probably more enjoyable than playing this joke of a game.

This is a good game, but it is somewhat repetitive. Though it all pays off for those end-of-level levels. Like when you have to throw milkshakes at Biff and his gang. Oh man, that game is great...
