YMMV / Full Throttle

Go To

  • Awesome Music: The game makes liberal use of licensed songs by heavy metal band The Gone Jackals to punctuate dramatic moments, as well as the truly epic opening sequence punctuated by "Legacy".
  • Nightmare Fuel: Ripburger murdering Malcolm is terrifying. How Ripburger slowly approaches the old man, only to then hit his head with his cane and then grin is unsettling.
  • Tear Jerker: The ending in which Ben realizes that Maureen needs to run her dad's company without distraction, and they really didn't have that much in common, save bikes.
  • That One Level: The Demolition Derby. The goal is simple: hit Maureen's car head-on. Unfortunately, she's being pinned by the Boom-Boom Brothers, and if you try to get close to her, they will smash into you and push you away. There's no time limit, but the solution is not immediately obvious, despite multiple hints being dropped: you need to discover that landing on top of a car will cause it to stall, and that one of the cars, once it stalls out, will never move again. Then you have to bump that car into the path of the ramp, go up the ramp at the right time, and hover over the stalled car to land on top of the Boom-Boom Brothers, which will stall them out and give you time to smash into Maureen. The janky controls don't help.
  • Unintentional Uncanny Valley: During close up shots, the characters' teeth are all bizarrely detailed compared to the simple design of the rest of their faces, making them really unnerving. Ripburger gets it the worst with each of his teeth being individually detailed.
