Professional reviews from gaming critics
Visually, Sam & Max looks a lot better than it did upon its original release. The character models capture the essence of the original comics perfectly while being delightfully cartoony. The lighting and environments have been upgraded to look much better overall, giving them a more colorful and exaggerated look. The voice-work is excellent as well, with every actor nailing the peculiar lines while making it sound easy.
The Sam & Max episodes let players guide the Freelance Police through a series of bizarre — and often sidesplitting — mysteries. The new Wii version will present Sam & Max in a format that can be enjoyed from the comfort of the living room, either alone or with a group of friends.
The remastering of Sam & Max Saves the World is a delightful return to the comedic antics of our crime fighting duo. Some jokes might not land and a lot of puzzles can feel too easy, but the duo’s wit has staying power. Add that with some catchy new tracks and a remastering that makes the game more stylish than less, and you have a proper return to form. If you never had a chance to play Sam and Max Save the World, this is the best way to experience one of Telltale’s first games.
