Adventure games used to be the best kind of video game. They made you think and they made you laugh. Sam & Max does both exceptionally well. The humour and the puzzle solutions mix brilliantly and even doing something incorrectly can sometimes trigger a hilarious response from one of the characters. The solutions to puzzles are all logical although you have to think completely outside the box on occasion, and sometimes you need to get into the demented mind of Max. In my mind, Sam & Max is second only to Day of the Tentacle as the best of the classic adventure games, even ahead of the Monkey Island series. For the many many truly laugh out loud moments in this game, I have to give it 5 stars.
