The fact that the lines and environments are being recycled is now starting to impact on the game.

User Rating: 7.8 | Sam & Max Episode 103: The Mole, the Mob and the Meatball PC
If you've been playing the season from the start you will now be familiar with places such as Bosco's Inconnivance, Sybil's and the office. You will also be familiar with the things Sam and Max say when you click on objects and you'll be left wondering why some new lines weren't recorded. The fact this is so repetitive detracts from the experience of the game, including the fact The Mole, the Mob and the Meatball is the shortest game so far.

The main plot of the game is that a police mole has gone undercover in Ted E. Bear's Mafia and it is up to Sam and Max to figure out what has happened. The humour that you've come to love over the season is still intact and there are some great moments such as the singing bear heads on the wall. Sadly though, there are only a couple new places to visit which means more backtracking and a shorter game which is never a good thing. But don't be put off - this is still a good game.

The puzzles in the game remain fairly easy to solve if you are an adventure game veteran, but this doesn't mean it is still an enjoyable experience. You will have fun beating Leonard Steakcharmer at his own game and then questioning him with a series of 'Yo mamma' jokes, as well as setting a bug on people who will then crawl back and tell you what he's heard, complete with that character's voice. Graphically the game is still going strong and the sound is great, especially the singing bears as mentioned.

More of the overall plot is now starting to seep through and if you've got this far in the season you should play on, if only to find out what happens at the end. The fact this episode is shorter than the other two is a bit of a letdown, but the games are still good value for money and you obviously shouldn't be expecting a full 40 hour game for what you are paying for. It's just a shame about the recycled lines.
