The Good
- Extraordinary art direction
- writing that stands up to the legacy of Sam & Max
- excellent value for the low cost
- so many wonderful little details that make the game just so much fun to play.
The Bad
- Voices sometimes miss the mark
- a little more difficulty would have improved the playing time
- not quite as delightfully absurd as Hit the Road.
Our Verdict
Very good
A game of very high quality. Although some aspects might have been executed better, we would recommend this game without hesitation.
To think that there are five more just like it right around the corner? Sounds good to me. Culture Shock in every way looks, sounds, and feels like a true Sam & Max sequel. If you can forgive the ease of the puzzles and embrace the episodic concept, it is nothing less than a complete blast of fun.
