Complete playthrough. Back on form after a somewhat disappointing second episode, this fairly short episode of the Sam & Max series was great fun. Here, the cop duo find themselves trying to infiltrate a mob operation fronted by a casino, with enjoyable tasks required to prove themselves. The puzzles here are perhaps a little less obscure than other instalments - a good thing! - and the writing continues to hold up.

max was a little more tolerable in this one and the backtracking wasnt half as obnoxious but the whole time the stakes just felt so incredibly artificial that when it finished all i could muster was "wait its over?"

I get that episodic content is supposed to be short, but this lazy trifle barely even qualifies as a demo. Maybe that's for the best, considering the continually weak writing and lame voice acting. On the bright side, the 4 or 5 puzzles in the game are pretty decent. Still, a full walkthrough for this "game" would barely even be a paragraph long.
