  1. One way or the other, if you have a glimmer of an iota of a flicker of adventure love left in that congealed lump of moldering paté you call a heart, you owe it to yourself to check this one out. This game only slightly suffers from being too short and otherwise easily bunny hops into gold star adventure game territory.
  2. To sum up: Sam's ability to quip is unparalleled and wanton destruction may, indeed, be Max's forte. But humor is clearly Steve Purcell's.
  3. Inevitably anticlimactic. But there are a few smiles within. [Dec 2006, p.115]

    Excellent game, it lives up to the expectations fans have had since the original game in '93. A must have.

    This is a great puzzle-type adventure game. The puzzles are amusing and can be logically worked out, the humor is entertaining, and the graphics are pretty decent. My only complaint is short the game is even for just being a single episode in the series. It can easily be beat in a day. Expand

    Could have been a little longer but it took me about as long to beat as Half-Life 2 episode 1 took, and at like half the price, I say it is well worth it. I missed this kind of adventure puzzle game play, I am glad tell tale picked it up - I have already paid for the entire "season" and am eagerly awaiting the next episode. Expand
