    has anybody downloaded this and not been able to run it, I click on the shortcut or in the steam folder and it says preparing to launch and then screen goes black then nothing, music plays but no launcher no nothing

    Have gone through all the fixes in the telltale forums

    1) run as admin

    2) update drivers

    3) press ctrl +shift +minus

    Still nothing, cant even get it to run in windows mode and have redownloaded it

    Any ideas

    This is a stupid question, but do I have to pay full price for episode 2 if I have episode 1 ?

    if you bought episode 1 then the rest of the episodes are free to download, they appear in your games library on steam as they come out

    happy ending to this query about not being able to play episode 2, after a lot of faffing about i got it to work

    Is it a decent game? I'm a point and click/Monkey Island fan so would you reckon I'd enjoy this? Cheers

    Just finished it there. Steam says it took me two hours. A lot more enjoyable than the first episode. A lot less trial and error with the clicking/solutions. Ending is a little whacky, but sets it up nicely.

    It's point and click, but very underwhelming. The use of the license means it looks like Back to the Future, and sounds like the films, but the game is fairly dull with no sense of tension or drama.

    Ahh but for 20quid its decent, especially if you love the films.

    I'd rather what they've done, than some kind of shoddy attempt at an action platformer

    100% agree, point and click is more a natural fit for the series than most genres; but the final game is very dull in places & there's absolutely no sense of risk. I don't think you can actually "fail" a task, you just stand there until you figure out what you're supposed to do. And that feels wrong against the random, breakneck speed the movies happened at.
