"I found the Back to the Future levels more like a chore I had to complete than a game I get to play.
I find the Marty dialog annoying, and don't find the character useful. Sonar smash seems to be his only ability, and I would rather use Dr Who for Sonar Smash, as the good Doctor has many other useful abilities to round him out.
The hoverboard gadget/ability is mostly useless, especially if you have any flying character, and seems like it is only included to fit the figure, vehicle, gadget formula for the level packs. I also didn't enjoy building the hoverboard and don't find any of the bricks in the build useful for building MOC. After building it the first time, I clicked the hoverboard directly onto the game tag and keep it in the same storage slot as Marty.
The DeLorean vehicle is the saving grace for this set. It is a nifty build and only one of two vehicles that can activate the Time Travel ramps."
I would recommend this to a friend!

Thanks so much for your feedback.
I'm sorry to hear that you aren't happy with the abilities of The Back to the Future kit. We try to build in as much variety and fun into all of our kits but it appears as though we have some work to do.
I'll be sure to forward your comments on to the team in charge of that area.
Thanks Again!

"I bought this as a gift for my best friends son as a birthday present. He had just seen the movies and loved them. He was super excited to open and put the pieces together. Sadly the game play was only about 20 minutes (if you weren't looking for the mini kits and to rescue a character). Lacked charm of the films and barley touched the surface of anything having to do with the movie itself. He was very upset. More thought and preparation should have gone into the extra content of the game."

I'm sorry to hear that the Back to The Future set did not meet your expectations. I will certainly be forwarding your comments along for improvements in future sets.
"When i first heard about dimensions, my first thought was: what themes are going to be in it? When I found out that there was going to be a back to the future theme in it, and that there were going to be 2 sets for it, I started pre ordering the sets immediately. Is it worth the $29.99? Lets see…
First of, Marty Mcfly is pretty detailed, from his jacket to his are. his character is very fun in the game, especially with his guitar. this mini figure is great for people who didn't have time to pick up the cuusoo back to the future set when it was available.
I LOVE the chibi style that the dimensions sets are in. And the delorean is one of my favourites! it looks pretty accurate to the movie, and the rebuilds are just as good. I sometimes use take the delorean of the stand and just roll it around. its one of the best dimensions cars!
Th hover board has a new hold, which is a lot better than the purple skateboard they used in the cuusoo set, which makes this set a must have for BTTF fans. unfortunately, the stand is, pretty random, and is just there for the rebuilds. don't get me wrong, the rebuilds for the hover board are pretty solid, but the first build seems, a bit awkward.
Now we have the in game level portion of the game, that this set unlocks, and it is, pretty disappointing actually. First you are in doc's apartment, which was pretty fun to play around in, then you have the strangely frustrating parking lot part, and then it goes to the barn, and then it skips half the movie to the clocktower scene. And , Thats it. Cut scene, unlock adventure world, and Boom! Buy another pack! After playing the simpsons level, doctor who level, and the portal level, the Back to The Future level seems, surprisingly short. They had 3 movies to take levels from, and they only use the first one, which is pretty disappointing, since I was looking forward to a BTTF 2 portion of the game.
In conclusion, if you're looking for a great car to drive, character to be, and thing to ride, look no further than the Back To The Future Level Pack! but if you want a good back To the Future Lego game, well, just do the story mode one.

Hi there,
Thanks so much for your feedback. I'm sorry to hear that the Back to the Future expansion pack for LEGO Dimensions was not to your liking. We try to make sure that all of our toys and video games are fun and engaging, so it's disheartening to hear that we got it wrong this time. I will be sure to pass your comments on to the folks who make the game.
Thanks again for your feedback.

"The Marty McFly figure is great. The Delorean and Hoverboard are great. Marty's special ability in the game is fun and his one liners bring a smile to my face. My only problem with this set is that the story level it unlocks is VERY SHORT. It is probably the shortest in the entire game. It was over WAY too fast and was disappointing. The level itself was fun, just over too quickly. The hub level is robust and allows you to visit all the important time periods in Hill Valley. I wish you could get up to 88 and time travel wherever you wanted though, instead of preset locations, but I knew about that going into it."
