Sam & Max Episode 1: Culture Shock


The canine shamus and his psychotic rabbit sidekick are back again, but it's just for a few hours

Bottom line, Sam & Max Episode 1: Culture Shock is a triumphant - if short - return for two oddball icons of adventure gaming. Some of the humor errs on the side of cornball, but the charm, vaguely sleazy trappings and surreal violence of the Sam & Max comics are more intact here than in any other adaptation thus far. If you're a fan of classic adventure games and you're OK with the short run time, then you don't have much to lose by grabbing this.

You'll love
  • Memorably weird presentation
  • Plenty of stuff to see and do
  • A bargain at $8.95
You'll hate
  • Steering with mouse is clunky
  • Puzzles are a little too easy
  • Over too soon
