Sam & Max - Freelance Police Previewed

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the dogs-in-trenchcoats dept.

tabacco writes "Adventuregamers.com is running a preview of the new Sam and Max game, titled Sam & Max: Freelance Police. Those who didn't enjoy Escape From Monkey Island's keyboard interface should be happy to know that LucasArts is making its sequel to Sam & Max Hit the Road a traditional point-and-click adventure. According to Adventure Gamers, Sam & Max: Freelance Police will have mini-games like the first one, and the same weird humor. Check out the official site for more info." S : We first spotted this title a couple of weeks back, but this new preview confirms point and click gameplay and Steve Purcell's involvement.

  1. This place reeks of adventure and excitement, Sam! by saladpuncher · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Well first I need to say that having Steve Purcell back for the sequel is a step in the right direction. All of his stuff for Sam and Max (comics and games) is brilliant and shouldn't be done without him. Look at Monkey Island to see what happens when the original creator doesn't return. The Curse of Monkey Island and Escape from Monkey Island were good games but when you compare them to the original 2 they come up lacking.
    The new Sam and Max is also being produced by Dan Connors who worked on the original game (which is great), Day of the Tentacle (very good), The Dig (pretty darn good), The Curse of Monkey Island (good), and the big one itself: Grim Fandango (friggen awesome!). Looks like the new Sam and Max should be great...in my own very subjective opinion of course :)

    PIRATE: We're going to bury you with our extra stash!
    MAX: BURIED ALIVE? I'm alarmed!
    PIRATE: We're going to shoot you first.
    MAX: Oh, thank God!
