100After nine episodes and nearly a year and a half, this stuff hasn't begun to feel old or tired.
-
100I am very impressed that Sam & Max have kept living up to the high standards we have come to expect. The story is fresh, enjoyable and funny. Everything about the production is professional and well done.
-
A zombie episode is perfectly fitting for the series, and it's a refreshing change of pace from past themes. Telltale once again pulls it off with buckets of style in Night of the Raving Dead.
-
90Assuming you don't have a strong aversion to seeing vampires walk around with their thumbs dangling lazily from their nipple rings, you can't really go wrong with this.
-
90Great character parts by Jurgen, Cybil, and the comical Hans Moleman.
-
Once more, gamers won't be able to find a more smartly and funnily crafted story along with the usual Sam & Max hijinks to enjoy.
-
88Night of the Raving Dead lacks a truly memorable, show-stopping sequence to really put it over the top, but it's Grade-Z(for zombie and zany)through and through. [May 2008, p.66]
-
If it has zombies, it can't be bad - at least not, when we're talking about Sam&Max adventure. After a little bit boring second episode NRV takes the series back where it belongs: to the top five of the recent adventure genre. Equipped with witty humor, funny characters and completely absurd plot the night of the living dead is worth every penny. Some puzzles are a little bit illogical and not all the jokes are funny, but so what? [June 2008]
-
It's hard not to rave about one of the series' best episodes to date.
-
If you're just getting into Sam and Max, Night of the Raving Dead isn't a bad place to start and definitely worth the cost, though you'll miss out on some of the in jokes.
-
The most consistently hilarious scripting in any game or series to date, which we're sure is becoming increasingly and splendidly darker in tone as the season progresses.
-
80This episode has all the humor we've come to expect from a Sam & Max game and some challenging puzzles. Unfortunately, there are a few pacing snags, and we spent some time running back and forth trying to figure out what to do, even with the hint system set to maximum.
-
80The puzzles are all fun and can become quite difficult as the game progresses. More th[a]n one time I found myself clueless as to how to get out of a room or to defeat an enemy, having to try every available option before finally finding a solution.
-
80Sam and Max continue to deliver humorous adventures on a monthly basis. While this is probably one of the more difficult games that they have released recently it is also one of the most fulfilling in terms of story.
-
80Episode 203 doesn't succumb to 'third-episode in a series' syndrome. This episode provides all the hilarity you'll need to be satisifed, and if you love zombies then it's a plus.
-
At least I can say something that I haven't yet said to date-the ending makes me extremely interested to know where the story is going now, and with only thirty days between episodes, it won't be a long wait to find out.
-
80Like the previous games in this series, Sam & Max - Night of the Raving Dead is a neatly put together adventure that is stamped by professionalism.
-
75This may be Sam and Max at their most entertaining, but it's not their most logically coherent outing. [May 2008, p.89]
-
75It may be short, but Sam & Max episode 203 is definitely worth your time and money!
-
70It's better than Ice Station Santa, yet not quite as good as Moai Better Blues. It remains small in both size and scope, while those who have stuck with the series since Season 1 will find that much of the actual gameplay is basic meat-and-potatoes fetch-questing. And yet...it's indecently cheap and, for all its minor flaws, the ongoing saga of Sam & Max is still the funniest game around.
-
70So without trying to sound too overjoyed by a game which satirises, and celebrates, a culture of nonchalant melancholia, it would be very difficult to hate this episode. In the words of Max: "You have a castle and a zombie army. What do you have to be so down about?" [Apr 2008, p.68]
-
70This episode is the weakest this season so far as in terms of humor, but is the strongest in terms of puzzle solving. However, Sam & Max fans want the hysterical gags the series usually offers, so they may be a little disappointed.
-
68The puzzles are just fine, but the gags just aren't as funny or as frequent as we've come to expect from the series.
-
64It's a better game than last month's "Moai Better Blues," if only because the ever insufferable Bosco is missing in action. [Apr 2008, p.113]
-
62This is better (and easier) than last month's "Maoi Better Blues," but nowhere near as good as "Abe Lincoln Must Die." [Apr 2008, p.83]
-
60After the high quality of the first two episodes of Season Two, it's disappointing to see the series misfire as it reaches its midpoint.
