  • Summary: Sam & Max: The Devil’s Playhouse is based on the indie comics by Steve Purcell. Sam is a six-foot dog in a baggy suit sporting a trombone-sized .44 hand-cannon. Max is three feet of pure unleashed id with a saw blade grin and the impulsive nature of the average piranha. Together they patrol the sticky streets of a fantastical New York City, righting wrongs, pummeling perps, and ridding the urban landscape of the shifty legions of "self-propelled gutter trash" that litter their streets. Sam & Max is Telltale's longest running episodic game series to date. … Expand

    Comedy's a tricky thing to nail in any format, and episodic gaming remains just as elusive for most developers. Against all odds, Telltale gets both right with Sam & Max: The Devil's Playhouse.

    It's been an excellent year for the Freelance Police; it would be a shame for the series to end here, but it gives a fitting send-off. [Nov 2010, p.79]

    As it stands though, they're merely running good franchises through the dirt, like a Godfather III or a Sonic Adventure would.

    A great conclusion to the season. The plot is excellent and full of surprises. The graphics and music is excellent just like the other episodes. Its great to see most of the characters from Sam and Max since the first season but I was hoping to see how the office or Bosco's is like with the updated graphics since the office cannot be access in this season.… Expand
