  1. The puzzles are harder without hints causing game players to say Duh for much longer. I loved the plot and I love Sam & Max.
  2. Excellent writing and fun gameplay make the game very enoyable, but the short hours may prove to the icebreaker for some.

    Ice Station Santa is a huge step in the right direction for the Sam and Max franchise.
  4. Essentially more Sam and Max. [Jan 2008, p.73]

    Excellent -- a lengthy and hilarious episode. Stands up with some of the best in season 1 and has many throwbacks throughout the fresh content. Be prepared to listen to many dialogs twice just to fully process the multi-layered jokes. This series keeps getting better and better -- I bought the whole season without hesitation. Expand
  2. Great deal on Steam for £10 for the complete series.Great fun and a bargain for a funny and entertaining adventure,with pleasing characters and plot.You can spend an afternoon enjoying each episode as you please for the few hours each one lasts,which is just about right,as there are 16 episodes,which adds up to a satisfying and lengthy experience overall.Ice Station Santa has a great little setting,and is fun to play.You have to listen to the dialogs and scratch you head for a moment a few times,but its ultimately quite hilarious.Well done 9/10 for this episode,and a lengthy one at that.
