IGN have unveiled the first shots and details of the upcoming Back to the Future game. Developed by Telltale - who did an excellent reboot of the Monkey Island series last year - the game will be an episodic adventure game that continues on from the classic films. With Christopher Lloyd voicing Doc Brown and co-creator of the movies Bob Gale involved this certainly feels like real BTTF.

Co-designer of the game Mike Stemmle gave more details:

The story in the game is completely new, set several months after the events of the third movie from Marty's perspective. Of course, this is a story that involves time travel, so who knows where it'll end up? We're working with Bob Gale to make sure we're delivering an authentic experience. There'll be numerous recognizable elements of course – the Hill Valley town center, the clocktower, the DeLorean, Doc's lab, and quite a bit more. And you'll see them in ways you haven't experienced before.

The game will be out "soon" on PC and Mac with a PS3 and - yes - iPad version out next year.

With the original film of the trilogy a genuine classic - the third had its moments too - I've got high hopes for this one. But what about you? Tempted by Back to the Future?
