First Impressions - Wow
That's all I can say. Wow.
This is GOOD. I wasn't expecting this quality from a "small" studio. Everything is top notch. The graphics are great. The voice acting is great. The writing is great (well, good enough but it could have a little more energy). The interface is beyond great. VERY good adventure game interface! The camera works perfectly. You can tell this game was made with love. Or high octane gas. Either or.
I'm more than pleased, and happy. I'm crying in my lunch at the thought of a new era of adventure games.
Worth every penny!

Good good good job !
But still, best adventure game interface/engine to date, imho.
The graphics are amazing but it runs so well on my cheap 460€ PC. Other game studios should ask you how you're doing your job
I really loved the original Sam & Max and when Lucas Arts announced Sam & Max 2, I was so happy, it looked great. And then they cancelled it and I hated them for that ^^ But here it is and it just feels like Sam and Max all over. You did an awesome job on the game, I just bought the whole season and I hope the other seasons will be as good as the first one.
Now, I'm only waiting for Monkey Island Season 1 *wink* ^^
i played sam and max hit the road many many times
i just finished the game (Really only 3 hours playtime)
yeah it is one episode from a whole season, but i just think 3 hours isn't enough, i have that feeling that i only played a half game or less
I'm very, very impressed with the game. My hat off to everyone who worked on it.
This feels just so much more alive and breathing than Bone (atleast the first one, I never purchased the second).
I finally got that old-timey Lucasarts feeling from way back, which no game since Lucas in their prime have been able to give me.
Thanks!!
I'd love to post in more detail later after I have played more but up to now... simply wonderful.
P.S I had issues with Sam's voice in the video previews but in playing the game they both seemed perfect. Nice
I do have one issue though, I played quite alot of adventures and well... it was simply too easy, nothing really stopped me to think and go "Erm, hrm.." it was all pretty obvious what had to be done. *possible spoiler in white text* I admit the final scene had me for a minute or two while I was looking at my options.
I'd like to see some more difficulty in the following episodes.
But, the difficulty barely matters when you can just sit back and listen to those two rant. Made me chuckle and grin quite alot, love the humor. Keep it up!
Really looking forward to the next episode, definatly worth waiting for!
edit: like said above, at first I was rather fearfull of there being new voice actors for Sam and Max, but I can only say one thing about them: Great!
The dialog and delivery are great, more subtle than the original game perhaps, but personally I think I found the humour even funnier (I don't often laugh out loud at stuff, even Family Guy has been failing me lately).
And the puzzles were both creative and logical, to the point where it really did feel like you were just playing a part in a TV show. The dream sequence with the Bradys was great.
IDEA: Why not make it that there are actual speeding lawbreakers you can take down in the driving bit? It'd be a cool timewaster, like the highway surfin' in Hit the Road.
Overall, I'm definately not regretting that pre-order splashout. Can't wait for the next installment.
We have a new and improved feature for this (the brackets don't need to be bolded):
/B][B]spoiler[/B][BTell your deepest, darkest secret here /B][B]/spoiler[/B][B
produces:
Tell your friends!;)
Surely the classiest way to share your secrets with the world.
*Gobbles some weenies*
I played the demo though and it was excellent. The graphics, music, overall presentation. Top-notch.
The only things I have a problem with are how easy the two puzzles in the demo are, and the lack of energy in Sam's almost monotonous voice.
I still like the new voice, but there's just something missing there I think...
The lack of 1680x1050 widescreen mode is a bit of a downer too, I thought al games these days supported it.
Also the fact that I still can't play the full thing!! ...but I'm in work now anyway and confident that TTG will get back to me by the time I get home so I can.
However, within a few minutes, pretty much
But i found the puzzles a bit too easy. Just one got me stuck some time. But just because, I didn´t visit another place, where i got some hints on it.
So everything is fine.. also i don´t care much about the sound-quality - also I got good speakers here and can´t complain but the next should be a little bit longer and have a few harder puzzles. You got sticked with your nose in some answers. (well, don´t know the english saying for that - just used lame-word-to-word-german-english-translation)
Anyway.. thanks for this game.
*thinks of buying Bone now..*
well.. not this month anymore - have to await me Christmas-gratification *hopes again, he used the right english word*
