The protagonist, an old-school biker called Ben, finds himself caught up in events relating to an attempt to take over the last motorcycle manufacturer in America.

In a near future version of California they battle against the encroaching advancement of technology and corporate greed. The story revolves around a gang of bikers known as the Polecats. While retaining some of the humour found in previous games, the game took a darker turn in its plotline and setting. Finally, there was a licenced soundtrack written specially for the game by rock band The Gone Jackals. The game was fully voiced, featuring professional voice actors. A new contextual pie menu, through which interactions with objects and characters were controlled, replaced the older menu and inventory interface.

Featuring animated full motion video and action sequences, it set out to out to be the first of the next-generation of adventure games. Their eleventh adventure game, Full Throttle, showed noticeable changes from previous releases. By the time of Full Throttle’s release LucasArts had become the leading developer in the point-and-click adventure game genre.
