A great game that reminds me of grim fandago. Warm atmosphere smart conversations.It is a pity that it is so easy

Sam and max is inspired from the 1987 comic by Steve Purcell.A detective duo(or freelance police according to them) ,consisting of a psychotic lagomorph and anthropomorphic dog, must teach law-breakers a lesson.

The game is quite enjoyable.The characters are vivid and funny, the graphics perfect for this kind of game and the retro-50s(i think) music completes the pictures.The actors do a great job.

The controls can't be simpler.You simply press the left mouse button on whatever has a name.On the screen down left is the inventory, a box.Press on it and the items spring up, press lmb on the item you want ,then on the object you wish.

Unfortunately the game is short.It is understandable, because it is a part of a series, but the game should last 5 hours not 2-3 and a half.And for more experienced adventure gamers it is almost laughingly simple.

All in all, i am happy to see an adventure game that has all the good values of an adventure game(atmosphere, interesting characters, riddles, plot) that without being outdated. Other game developers should see it,so as to understand what it is lacking from their games.

If it weren't so easy, we would be talking about a masterpiece.
