Video Game Reviews of Sam & Max: Season One
Customer Review: Episodic games can work, Sam & Max are the proof
Summary: 4 Stars
Virtual Adventurers from all over the world may remember a game called "Sam & max Hit the Road!", now considered a cult classic. Thirteen years after, the most nonsensic dynamic duo, originally born in a comic book by Steve Purcell during the eighties, are finally back on our computers.
I must admit I was a bit worried by the episodic format at the beginning, but in the end it works pretty well. The game is actually six games with independant plots, linked together by a common "meta-plot". As one can expect from Sam and Max, the stories are crazy and funny and filled with witty dialogue, and it gets wilder and wilder with every new episode. The last three in particular are pure gems.
If you have fond memories of the golden age of cartoon adventures, or just want to play a great game with zany humor, give Sam & Max Season 1 a try. You'll like it. Or else Max will find you and bite your head.
Customer Review: TellTale Games deliver the Sam & Max game we've been waiting for!
Summary: 5 Stars
When I heard that TellTale Games was developing a new Sam & Max adventure, I was excited. Having seen our hopes be dashed by the light saber loving company that owned the rights to the game, I was glad to see a company take it on and deliver a true masterpiece.
Season 1 is an excellent adventure game. It stayed true to Hit the Road. The funny antics that these two go through are worth the money.
If you are an old school adventure gamer, buy it. If you are new to the scene, buy it. If you are into FPS, Strategy, or RPG games, buy it anyway.
Customer Review: A Return to Form For Adventure Games
Summary: 5 Stars
There has been a startling lack of quality adventure games for a decade, now. Finally, with the release of this 6-part epic adventure gaming masterwork, I have a reason to use my computer other than online shopping. The joy of Sam and Max not only comes from the clever puzzles and smooth gameplay, but the charisma of the characters themselves. Every object that you click on in this game is not only important to solving the mystery, but will also trigger a snappy and hysterical comment from Sam and/or Max. The episodic structure of these games had me worried, but once I played them, I saw the way the stories built upon one another and it left me more satisfied than the last season of Lost.
Buy this game if you've ever played or enjoyed any of the classic Lucasarts adventure games of the past. Seriously, this game is golden.
Customer Review: Fantastic
Summary: 5 Stars
This game is funny, fun, & different than anything else out there. Highly recommended.Customer Review: "They're probably hiding a cow"
Summary: 5 Stars
Let's face it, if 1993's "Sam and Max Hit the Road" didn't strike your fancy, if the Sam and Max comic books didn't get you, and if you weren't wowed by the SatAM "Sam and Max: Freelance Police!!!" on Fox, then Telltale's foray into the Sam and Max universe is the perfect chance for you to hop on the Sam and Max bandwagon.
This awe-inspiring six episode series blends the time-tested successful Adventure-game style with beautifully 3d-rendered graphics, expertly written comedy, and a musical score that would put John Williams to shame in an instant.
The games themselves use a simple point and click interface, so if you're a seasoned Adventure gamer, or a weekend gamer who hasn't played anything that doesn't rhyme with "Halo", you spend almost no time learning how to play, and instead be able to focus on solving the puzzles and enjoying the tremendous effort Telltale has put into this series.
My only complaint? The season not being endless.
Plain and simple, if you're looking for a fantastic thrill ride that anyone can really get into and enjoy, look no further.
