    It's the best in the series so far and a harbinger of great things to come. Honest.

    Consider my wishes answered: Sam and Max: Abe Lincoln Must Die! is the best installment yet. [May 2007, p.69]

    If you’ve played the first three episodes, then by all means play Episode 4. It’s one of the better episodes in the series and will hopefully build some momentum for the series as it enters its final two episodes.

    Sam & Max follows a formula, sure, but sitcom predictability is proving to be this series' secret strength -- it's rare to see a game conjure up such strong narrative continuity and familiarity in such short a time span. In Telltale's hands, recycled assets take on the aspect of recurring joys.

    Episode 4's brand of observational satire is new territory for the series, and the game's anthropomorphic stars are very much at home with it.

    It feels like someone at Telltale noticed the baloon was deflating, and brought out a comically oversized pump. [May 2007, p.71]

    Abe Lincoln Must Die is by no means a 'bad' episode, but it feels like the series is stuck in something of a rut already. I just hope it's not too late for the talented people at the studio to get it firmly back on track for the last two episodes and end this bold episodic experiment in style.

    I've just played this game to the end and let me just say that it has been YEARS since I actually completed a game the last time. It may I've just played this game to the end and let me just say that it has been YEARS since I actually completed a game the last time. It may be because the game is so short, but I just want to say that I really enjoyed it. I was smiling practically the whole time. The voices are great and the plot is just stunningly humorous. I can honestly say that I've grown very very fond of Sam & Max! I can definitely recommend this game to everyone. Haha. And this episode can actually be played free over Steam.… Expand

    I have played all 4 episodes so far and this one is by far the best of all. I couldn't stop laughing while playing the game. Very well I have played all 4 episodes so far and this one is by far the best of all. I couldn't stop laughing while playing the game. Very well thought. Tougher puzzles and much longer gameplay. Bravo!… Expand

    Sam and Max are just too much! -Or maybe, not enough? The puzzles can seem hard at first but are always fun.

    One of the best games in the series but had some rough gags but still one of the best.

    Compared to previous episodes (especially the 103) the difficulty level is again what you typically expect from this type of games. MostCompared to previous episodes (especially the 103) the difficulty level is again what you typically expect from this type of games. Most puzzles have multiple steps you need to figure out before solving them. So expect spending more time figuring stuff out or taking few quick peeks to walkthrough (if you're impatient like me). Length is also bit longer than previous two episodes (mostly because higher difficulty). Otherwise no big surprises.… Expand
