Let’s Play Full Throttle! 
There aren’t many games which will make you feel like more of a badass while playing it than Full Throttle. Come to think of it, few games will make you laugh nearly as much as this one, as well.
Let’s Play Full Throttle!
From the start, the premise is one of the best in video game history: you play as Ben, the leader of a biker gang known as the Polecats. Framed for a murder he didn’t commit, Ben looks to clear his name and more importantly seek revenge on the man responsible for it all.
Ben is easily one of the coolest protagonists that I’ve ever had the pleasure as playing as. There is a lot of silliness in this game despite the badassery of the main character in Ben, and it’s his composure which sells a lot of the humor.
I frequently make it a point to make reference to the soundtrack if I particularly like a game, but this one is a bit different in that they commissioned an actual rock and roll band to provide the music for the majority of the game. That band is The Gone Jackals, and from best I can tell, their only claim to fame is having their music featured heavily in this game. I know I likely never would have heard of them if it wasn’t for Full Throttle, and in the context of the game, their music is killer and matches the atmosphere and theme of the game step for step, or should I say mile for mile.
Whether it’s feeling the freedom of the road through the anthemic “Legacy”, a bit of a melancholic ballad in “Drop the Hammer”, or just out for busting some deserving teeth with “Born Bad”, their album “Bone to Pick” is the perfect match for this game. There are a few non soundtrack songs from the album which I’ve subsequently found and listen to from time to time which I can recommend, as well.
The voice acting is fantastic (Mark Hamill, anyone? And rest in peace Roy Conrad), the gameplay fantastic and diverse from kicking ass on the old Mine Road or driving around in the demolition derby, the graphics are beautiful and perfectly capture the barren, rough, and sometimes lonely small towns of the west/midwest deserts, and the dialogue will have you laughing hysterically out loud. I remember when my brother got a burned disc (we subsequently bought it) of the game and put it on nonchalantly and I wondered just what the hell I was looking at, but I knew it was amazing from the first time I saw it.
