Sam & Max - Culture Shock

The release of Sam & Max - Culture Shock surprised many. A majority of adventure gamers probably thought it would never come out, and who would disagree with them if you look at the development history of the never-released predecessor? Everyone was asking themselves whether the developers of Culture Shock could recreate the humour the previous game managed to present. If we are to believe IGN Telltale Games did the impossible. Sam & Max - Culture Shock stays faithful to the previous game and the humour is very similar. It took about 13 years, but the result is definitely there. The weird detective duo is back.

There are two things we can’t believe about this game. First, that it’s out. Second, that it lives up to 13 years of anticipation. While many old timers remember the good old days when Lucas Arts and Sierra were releasing loads of humorous adventure games, the genre has really been underrepresented over the last few years. Even when we do get a title that tries to recapture that magic, the results are less than satisfying.

We’re glad to say that’s not the case with the new Sam and Max: Episode 1 - Culture Shock. Here’s a title that’s done the seemingly impossible: faithfully updating a beloved franchise while creating something that feels entirely fresh and original. The first of a projected six-part monthly series, this initial installment is sure to please fans of humor, fans of adventure games and the legion of Sam and Max devotees who have been waiting like demented lagomorphs for a return of the deranged duo.
