    The game didn’t take me the 20 hours the makers claimed it would to complete, but it definitely saw more playtime than many physical releases that cost three times as much and delivered one-third the enjoyment.

    Sam & Max Save the World is not just the funniest video game of the year, it's the funniest thing I've seen on my television screen in ages.
  3. Giant Bomb
    80
    Funny games are still something of a rarity, so even though these episodes of Sam & Max originated on the PC two years ago, they still totally stand up against more recent releases. Also, with six different episodes to move through, you'll probably end up spending something like eight to 12 hours playing through them all.
  4. Console Monster

    For fans of adventure gaming, episodic content and murderous-rabbit-without-a-conscience adventures, Sam & Max is right up your street and unfortunately one of the few such titles available.
  5. Meristation

    Quotation forthcoming.
  6. MS Xbox World
    70
    Even though they do, in fact, Save The World in their first appearance on the Xbox 360, unless you’re a die-hard Sam & Max fan or just itching for a new adventure game to immerse yourself in, you’re better off Saving Your Money.
  7. Gamestyle
    60
    While it may not be the return of a golden genre so many people fondly remember, Sam & Max: Save The World is still a game that should be supported.

    I like point and click, for some reason this one was just not that great, not really funny either.,

    Les sous-titres français sont bel et bien présents mais on préfèrerait qu'ils n'aient jamais été là : on serait en effet moins affligés si on entravait que la moitié ou le quart des dialogues qui font exploser le débilemètre en plein vol.

    Le jeu se présente comme une espèce de jeu d'aventure très bas du front et réalisé en 16 couleurs (et encore) : les graphismes infantiles sont aussi simplets qu'affreux. La musique jazzy bien débile elle aussi termine de nous achever au cas où nous bougerions encore devant cet ectoplasme qui tente de se faire passer pour un "jeu vidéo".    … Expand
