From Gamertell's review:
"So far I am liking the new format of the Sam and Max games, including the cut scenes. It gives the game a longer feel and more like an interactive movie then a game. Also the whole thing reminds me of the older point-and-click games that I grew up with."
Rebecca Quintana of Vivid Gamer writes, "The world of video games is full of them, with Gears of War and Army of Two usually topping most game-related bromance lists. In celebration of Valentine’s Day, I’ve decided to create my own list–my personal favorite video game bromances. I also decided to avoid many of the “traditional” bromances on this list and go with some newer and less conventional ones you may not have thought about."
PopMatters: The story begins at the end, where suddenly Sam and Max must save the world from the evil alien gorilla General Skun-ka’pe by using Max’s newfound psychic abilities and a series of legendary psychic toys to send Skun-ka’pe back to the Penal Zone. Then we jump back in time to the beginning, starting a race against time and ape to find the toys first.

Maybe “husky” is a good way to put it, or “stout”. What I was really getting at is that I like the characters, the adventure gameplay, and the style of humor that can be found in the existing Sam & Max series of games. I might even own some paraphernalia, which makes me the target audience and then some for the series’ debut on the iPad".
