Storyline and Gameplay
Full Throttle takes place in a dystopian future where biker gangs rule the highways and the last remaining motorcycle manufacturer, Corley Motors, is on the verge of shutting down. You play as Ben, the leader of a gang called the Polecats, who gets caught up in a plot to take down Corley Motors and save his biker lifestyle.
