A wonderful addition to the Sam and Max legacy!

Warning: Spoilers
Since the 80's, Sam and Max has delighted comic book owners, letting them know that it will rise in value as time passes. However, to put it into modern game form is entirely another! For a $9 game, this one chalks up another one for Steve Purcell's creativity, since he did the supervising of the episodes themselves.

The plot was good enough; you have to start out in the office, (SPOILER) and work your way up until you can have a confrontation with Brady Culture, the chief evildoer himself, and end his evil doings once and for all!

It's witty, sometimes respiring, fun, even cute and cool humor allows for more laughs then even the Lucasarts original "Hit the Road"! Unfortunately, the voices of the original duo were a bit better in tone than the new ones, but still, if I were Sam, 2 paws way up! (and if I were a certain duo of Movie Critic!)

Great sequel to a great classic

This game is absolutely a worthy sequel to Sam & Max. For 13 years adventure gamers have awaited this sequel, and it's so good, it's been worth the wait. There are in fact only 2 minor flaws to the game. 1) It's released in episodes, so gamers will be done with the episode in a couple of hours. 2) The voice actors are not the same from the original Sam & Max game. Now, that last fact can be ignored, cause the new voice actors actually do a good job to somewhat copy the original voices, but without the blatant rip off. Even though the game's game time will be short, and it's puzzles might be a bit too easy at times, the comedy that's been wrapped in the game is hilarious and in the same path as the first game. The game's control system is simple and the transition to 3D worked out very well. Just because of the comedy gold within the game, I can easily forgive the somewhat short game time. If you loved Sam & Max: Hit The Road, chances are, you'll also love this game.
