TGN Reviews Sam & Max Season One

[ThQp]

TGN has been sent a copy of Sam & Max Season One from The Adventure Company to review. Though it starts off a little slow, this is one title to keep an eye on this holiday season. Check it out:

The Wii has a library of games aimed at the casual audience unlike any other system. Unfortunately for Nintendo's white box, these often turn out to be gimmicky titles with very little to offer. Sam & Max Season One proves that even if a game appears to be aimed at the casual gamer, it can still pack a punch.

Sam & Max is one of those games that feels like it belongs on Wii. Actually, most point-and-click adventures probably would, but this one shines brightly. Taking full advantage of the Wii's pointer capabilities to interact with everything on screen feels very good. Do not worry if you have yet to buy the Nunchuk controller as it is not required.

The full review can be found here.

Re: TGN Reviews Sam & Max Season One

How long is this game and on average, how much time is spent on each episode?

Also, are there any new features added to the game in comparison to the PC releases or are they just a repackaging? For example, bonus unlockable art work or interviews etc.

Why did you classify this game as "casual"? Just wondering because most adventure titles are not designed for the beginning gamer, but this game could defy expectations.

Sounds like a good game and a pretty good review ThQp.

Re: TGN Reviews Sam & Max Season One

good review thqp, ive only ever played a sam and max demo once but i use to be really into the adventure games back in the 90's and early 2000's. If i had a wii i would probably give this a try.

Re: TGN Reviews Sam & Max Season One

I really must give these episodes another go. I have the first two seasons on Steam and never played much of even the first episode. This may have just given me the spark to go ahead and do that.
