The main problem with Sam & Max Season Two: Moai Better Blues is one of length. No matter what others may tell you, length is everything and with the game only lasting two or three hours, the fun is over just as you're starting to get into the game. This was a problem with Season One and it's still a problem with Season Two. I suppose it's not really a criticism as such, more testament to the quality of the game that you don't really want it to end when it does. There's a trade-off to be made between the episodic nature of the game and length of the game though, and this time the episodic argument won.

TellTale games hit a major home run last year with the re-introduction of two of gaming's most comical adventure characters: Sam & Max. These characters were originally popularized in the early 90s when LucasArts released a PC adventure game: Sam & Max Hit the Road. Unfortunately, the PC adventure genre was on the outs at the time, and adventure/puzzle games haven't been popular (except for Myst, perhaps). Great adventure games like Myst have made it through the adventure recession, proving that a game can always be successful if it's great. For those who don't know already, Sam & Max is an episodeis series of adventure games created by Steve Purcell. TellTale games had greatly improved upon the original game by making their series fully 3d, which even PCs from several years ago are powerful enough to run.

All in all, 'Sam and Max Episode 3, The Mole, The Mob, and the Meatball' was a lot of fun to play. Although there aren't as many areas as in Episode 2, there's a lot more to do than in Episode 1. Once again they keep the price just right, and there's even the option on Telltale?s site where you can buy the entire season all at once. This allows you to get the episodes as soon as they come out, and not have to mess with buying the new one each month. Buying the entire season will also allow you to get the entire season on one disc, shipped to you at the end of the season, which makes that a pretty good value.

One of the best parts about this, is the low system requirements, virtually any even remotely up to date system can run this. The only problem I saw, which is a minor one, is that I can't run it at 1680x1050 for my widescreen, but then again, I can't do that on most games I pay 4 times as much for. This game ran beautifully windowed at the highest supported resolution, though. All in all, this is one game that's definitely worth the time spent, and maybe even worth a second run through to see any other humor you missed the first time around.
