Character models resemble their on-screen counterparts, with Doc and Marty almost leaping off your screen. Plus, with each episode feeling like a new 'wall art' display at your local art gallery, it's safe to say Telltale respected the source material and sprinkled a generous helping of charm all over it.

Conclusion
