Video Game Reviews of Sam & Max: Season One

Customer Review: Fun Game But Bad Securom
Summary: 5 Stars

This game is so much fun to play. It is simple to play with the mouse. Just point and click and select a response. And sometimes you get to shoot stuffs too. And since this game is made around here, the punchlines are easy to understand. I just sometimes don't quite get the points from many of the games from Europe.

When the game starts, it displays a menu for you to pick the chapter you want to play. There are 6 chapters. What you need to do is to listen to the clues carefully, and pick the right response. The animation is great. The color is bright and bold and colorful. And the punchlines are fun to listen. If you are tired of the dialogues, you can hit the Space Bar to skip it.

The game also comes with an bonus CD and a poster. What a bargain and it is weird to see a free poster nowadays. Steam, eats your heart out!

But I first is having problem installing the game in Vista. UAC pops up when the CD tries to autorun. Well no big deal, just click Allow. And then I try to start the game but get all kind of error messages saying the game cannot access the registry and access violation, etc. I think SecuROM is trying to modify the registry and install system drivers. Vista doesn't seem to like it. So, I right click the game file and click Run As Admin. After SecuROM modify the registry and install the system drivers, the game starts without much problem.

Even though the game can run on Vista, it is not designed for Vista in mind. Sometimes it will crash and I have to try to restart the game. So, save often. (If you open the folder and you see a folder called Compatibility Files, then the game does not follow the Vista programming standard.)

Bottom line, this game is fun to play. 5 stars!!!
