Rather than review just this episode this review will cover the series as a whole, being that each episode has just as much value as the next. I have always loved adventure games since I played Zork as a kid. The problem with these types of games, even into the 3D age is that they depend too much on complicated and contrived puzzles to provide you with game play time. This often times gets very frustrating when you can't figure out how to do something, and when you finally get it you wonder how you were ever supposed to figure it out. Sam and Max never has to resort to this kind of trickery. This series depends more on moving though the story, as twisted as it may be, than trying to trick you. Each comedic scene is well plotted and is woven together through each of the series so you are constantly going "WOW" as the pieces fall together. The comedy continues to be fall out of your chair funny, which is a feat considering how many episodes Telltale has released. You would assume it would be getting old by now. I only want to know when season 3 is going to be released. Rather than being exceptional in one area, the Sam and Max series is well balanced in all things being an experience that stays with you long after your done playing. For the price of an entire season you get as much play time as most retail games for a lot less of a price, and the episodes are released in a timely fashion so you never have to wonder when you'll get to play again.
