Sam and Max: Beyond Time and Space is a must have for the armies of point and click adventure fans out there. Whilst it can be argued that it doesn't measure up well to Telltale Games most recent efforts in the Tales of Monkey Island, Sam and Max certainly puts up a good fight. Its sharp humour and puzzles will be satisfying to newcomers to the genre but aren't too testing for the hardcore adventurers. Lasting between 15-20 hours to complete and at a cost of 1600 Microsoft Points, Sam and Max: Beyond Time and Space is certainly worthy of a download.
"Two classic Sam & Max games coming to PlayStation on September 29! Sam is a six-foot canine detective with a love of justice. Max is a hyperkinetic rabbity-thing with a taste for mayhem. Together, they’re the Freelance Police—an irreverent comedy duo whose esoteric crime-fighting style has been entertaining comic book and video game fans for more than thirty years.
In Sam & Max Save the World (aka Season One), a mind-control scheme involving washed-up child stars spirals to encompass the media, the mafia, the United States government, and the internet, building up to an out-of-this-world finale. In Sam & Max: Beyond Time and Space (aka Season Two), Sam & Max are back on the crime beat in a showdown with Santa Claus, a race to subdue a giant volcano, and a face-off with a Eurotrash vampire... and then things get really weird. "
Skunkape Games has announced that Sam & Max: Beyond Time and Space Remastered, their latest Sam & Max game, is now available on the GOG store.
Some frustration caused by obtuse puzzle solutions is unavoidable due to the source material, but everything else has been polished to a fine shine. Skunkape Games has done an incredible job of bringing this classic collection of Sam & Max adventures bang up to date and they’ve never looked or sounded better.
