You’ll have several options for discussion with the main cast, and at times you’ll be able to switch between Sam & Max to engineer a specific outcome. What results is a genuinely funny adventure populated with charming characters who are brilliantly voiced, meaning you’ll want to interact with them all. A wicked sense of humour runs through Sam & Max: Beyond Time and Space and it’s rammed with pop culture riffs (a personal highlight being the “torture me elmer” doll) whilst being very self-aware at the same time. You’ll meet Stinky the restaurant owner who raises many questions about how she came to run the joint, Sybil who is unlucky in love and Jurgen the Eurotrash vampire to name but a few. It’s an utterly intriguing and fascinating world to explore.Įach episode and it’s characters are brilliantly written. There are several brilliant moments, such as figuring out the lyrics to an incantation song or building a monster who is perfect dating material. All episodes are interconnected, and each is more bizarre than the last.
Before long, you’re back on the familiar street where your office lies, whilst an exotic island, alien spaceship and a zombie disco hosted in a German castle await you. The first is centred around a gun toting, paranoid Santa Claus which is perfect timing for Christmas. Sam & Max: Beyond Time and Space consists of five episodes that were originally released separately. You’ll be rooting for them to succeed from the very start, despite their rather unorthodox methods.
Together they make a rather wonderful, madcap comedy duo who may have more between them than meets the eye. And by that I mean he’s somewhat maniacal and obsessed with guns. Sam is a calm, considered six foot dog in a suit and fedora who has a nose for justice, whilst Max is a small hyperactive rabbit who favours the more direct approach. Both characters go by the title of “freelance police”, and despite seeking to uphold the law and solve cases, they generally leave chaos in their wake.
