Sam & Max Hit the Road

Like a lot of LucasArts classics, I've constantly returned to this over the years. While a little obtuse, like most of them, Sam & Max is just the pinnacle for me. The gorgeous animation is still stunning, and, well, it just cracks me up, little buddy.

Stick with Monkey Island My experience with Sam and Max isn't from Poker Night at the Inventory, the comic. or even this point and click. Mine is from the single season cult classic cartoon Sam and Max Freelance police. I think thats why this and the telltale games didn't stick. No idea if the cartoon is like the comics but it was face paced, wacky, and was more of teenage tiny toons. It was for a younger audience and since cartoons were going through a renasonce in the 90s they toned back on anything really adult. Being a point and click adventure game Sam and Max move slow the jokes are more witty, sarcastic, and irreverent. While some areas and lines made me laugh I do preder the cartoon and hgow they portrayed there. What really kills my enjoyment though is the gameplay I have beat both Monkey Island games, and Grim Fandango (though that lock puzzle at the end did require a walkthrough) and this one was bad. Its the worst kind of point and click that uses moon logic, I don't know if the creators wanted to push how nonsensical the solutions could get; this game requires some real outside the box thinking. Monkey Island had some difficult moments but it was by no means a pixel hunt game and there was logic to its puzzles. I enjoyed most of the old Lucas Art games despite never having nostalgia for them. Day of the Tentacle was my least favorite but its been replaced by this Not recommended. For some reason Steam hasn't saved my play time I have beat this title.

difficult but charming point and click adventure. Some of the puzzles are very obtuse and I would not blame anyone for looking up a walkthrough, but the actual presentation and athomosphere of the game is unmatched.

Solid old-school LucasArts point and click adventure. With lots of jokes.

Charming but confusing (you might need a guide!) 7/10 A classic point and click adventure.

A classic of Lucas Arts adventure from its final days, which i just finished for the first time. However i used hints at the one or other point of the game. As it sometimes does not look logical at first, the outcome is then then logical but somethin i would never think of. F.e: i would never come to the conclusion that i need the screwdriver to open the bottle, and then what to do with the "opened bottle"! but once i did it, it seemed logical. However, if i should rank this game, then its below DoTT, Monkey Island1,2,3 / Return to MI, Fate of Atlantis. But above Zack, Full Trhottle and for sure Monkey Island 4!

Would you like to Hit the Road! Well hop in and enjoy the first game in the Sam & Max series! A point-and-click adventure with lots of humor and charm. Take a minute and appreciate the music and voice work… if you’re stuck, look up a guide! It’s not gunna kill you…

The controls can get pretty annoying at times but, it's a pretty solid game overall. Also don't be afraid to use a guide this game has a lot of moon logic.

An incredibly charming and fun point and click. None of the puzzles are frustrating and feel good to solve.

Esse é um dos grandes clássicos point and click da Lucas Art nos seus tempos áureos. Sempre quis jogar e é muito bom. Recomendo a todos que gostam de Point And Click, especialmente dos clássicos
