New Sam & Max game

Post by spookypeanut »

I was reminded by seeing a Sam & Max thumbnail on the front page, that the first episode of the new Sam & Max game is now out:

http://www.telltalegames.com/samandmax

Some of the promo material looks pretty cool. Unfortunately I don't have a windows box with internet access so I can't play the demo. Anyone played demo or fullgame and give a brief review?

I enjoyed every minute of it.
It isn't the same as Hit The Road (HTR), but I think that is a good thing.
It is a game in itself, and although the puzzles aren't as frustrating as they sometimes could be in HTR, they are entertaining.

There is also a sort of mini game in which you drive the Desoto.
As Sam you bully others drivers by shooting their taillights with a gun, while Max holds the wheel for you.
You then can choose to pull the driver over for having a broken taillight! I loved it!

The dynamic between Sam and Max is a bit different then HTR.
Graphics are great, music is jazzy awesome, and it has good old S&M humor!
Voices were a bit getting used to, and I think Sam sounds a bit to dull.
Max has a great voice-over casted.

If you liked Hit The Road, I know you're gonna love these new series.
I did, and I highly recommend it.

Will this be supported in ScummVM?





*SCNR* :)

To stay on topic, yeah, the game's not too bad, I like it better than the two Bone games.

The game is in episodes. SMALL episodes. It took me about 1 hour to finish the first episode. A new small episode will come in 2007.
