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?"
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.
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.
The Mole, the Mob and the Meatball is the third episode of Sam & Max Save the World. Here it picks up to the same quality of the first episode in my opinion.
The story here is that you are to extract an undercover mole in the local Toy Mafia, whose headquarters is at Ted E. Bear Mafia-Free Playland and Casino. Sounds innocent enough, huh? It's a Chuck E Cheese-y looking place where the staff wears big bear heads. You also get to meet an old acquaintance if you've played Telltale Texas Hold'em. Overall the storyline of this episode is good and the characters are fun, there's no real tedious moments and it's probably the shortest one so far - but that's not a bad thing!
Gameplay-wise it's the same as previous episodes so no complains there, however I want to add that I definitely liked the whack-a-rat mini-game. Makes me think of the ending scene of Sam & Max Hit the Road.
The episode wraps up with references to the major storyline and that definitely makes me want to play the next episode to see how it continues. This was a good episode and I hope the rest of them are too.
