The dialogue is top notch. Every time Sam says something, Max always has something even more hilarious to say. The game should be played again just so you could catch quirky line that you missed, it's just non-stop laugh! The only improvement that should be made, since this is just the pilot episode, is to change Sam's voice. There is no acting in it, no drama and no action, as if he was just reading the lines with no charisma.
The game play is very entertaining. It’s based on the golden point-and-click formula. The game should not be finished in haste, for those who complain about how short the game is should consider playing the game half an hour a day, so you won't get bummed after finishing the game so early. There is only one mini game in the episode, car crash, it is fun but get repetitive fast.
Tell Tale uses it own engine for the game. It used real time, not pre-rendered, graphics for the whole game. It really gives a lot of cartoon-y details that are really breathtaking. The improvement that they made is they offered two extra resolutions on the exclusive 800x600: the commonly used 1024x768 and the extra 1280x960.
Sam and Max: Culture Shock is a must buy for any regular gamer. Its characters, story, settings marks it as a classic in the adventure genre. Those who are saying that this is a kid's game do not know what they are missing out on. Congratulations Tell Tale, you have a bright future ahead of you.
Final Score: 9.8/10
