Well I've just finished Sam and Max: Hit the Road. I admit I used a guide throughout, I mainly went through it as if I was watching a movie. I'm sure I would have been painfully frustrated had I not used the guide, some of the things you had to do were crazy. For example attaching the hand to the golf ball retriever then attaching a cup to that, bungy jump and use the great golf ball retriever invention you've just created to get some tar from the tar pool. Absolutely crazy! The game is so random and really suited my sense of humour. I'm not sure if I'd enjoy the new Sam and Max games that are out at the moment, I think I prefer the 2D Sam and Max, but I'm only basing this on the screenshots.

I'm not going to review the game since I used a guide for the whole thing, but I've given it a score of 8.9. I probably had more laughs in this one, but thought at times it was a bit too random and the story was quite bizarre. The start of the game had nothing to do with the story at all involving the girl being kidnapped by this human/robot thing. I wasn't much of a fan with the controls of the game either, it should have kept the same system as Day of the Tentacle. At any rate though, this game is a classic, one of the best point-and-click games out there and I really wish they'd make more of them of this quality. They really just need to fix up the difficulty of the games I think, or just add in a hint system along with a score, so you can use hints if you get stuck, but if affects your score. Keeps everyone happy I'd think!


Yeah this blog entry kinda ended up as a review, maybe I will write one up later.

Just one more thing, my 'tracked games' list contains all games I have finished.

Happy gaming!
