I had purchased a number of adventure games from Telltale at PAX, which I have not even cracked yet, because I haven’t even passed all the Telltale games I have! So, I played through the entirety of Sam and Max 104, in which some crazy stuff happens. Some awesome crazy stuff.I really liked this one, and I don’t want to spoil the awesomest part, but let’s just saw near the end something comes completely out of left field and is completely great. Otherwise, the game unfolds under its own insane logic. The only part I didn’t like that much is there is one puzzle with a huge red herring that I couldn’t figure out how to work around, so I had to look up a hint. Apparently some object in the background was necessary, which I would have never thought to look at. I mean, that alley has been back there and useless for the last three games!
I also like the character of Sybil a lot, the fact that she constantly changes jobs, her general “let’s just give it a try” attitude, and the fact that she always seems to have something I need pretty much every time I play. In this one she plays a more proactive role, then mysteriously disappears after dropping off another MacGuffin. It’s kinda weird. Unfortunately, the goddamn child actors appear again. I hate these guys, they aren’t funny or interesting, and suddenly they are way too important and will not go away. I can’t wait until I get to Season 2, in hopes that I will not have to deal with goddamn Whizzer again.
But yes, this game was awesome and really funny. Go buy it. These guys need the money for single-handedly reviving the adventure genre.
