Sam & Max Hit the Wii

[mithriltabby]

We finished Sam & Max: Season One last night; we got the version for the Wii, though Windows users can get the episodes faster by downloading them as they come out. It has the same zany humor that infuses the rest of the Sam & Max line of comic books and computer games; because each episode is its own self-contained storyline, it doesn’t build up as impressively as the original Sam & Max Hit the Road game from LucasArts, which showed a twisted mirror of the entire nation through its roadside attractions. We were able to do two episodes a night on vacation; I expect that someone showing up to their day job could do one per night. The game is well worthwhile for people who are already fans of Sam & Max; if you want to get someone hooked on them, start them with the comics, and then see if you can get the LucasArts game to run on your modern system (possibly via ScummVM).
