Sam & Max: Save The World is easily one of the funniest games on the Xbox 360. It looks like a cartoon made for kids but it's actually more for teens and adults because of its satire and references to pop culture. The comedy has its parodies on religions like Scientology, United States politics and military, and video games.
The game is carried successfully on the shoulders of Sam and Max, two opposite personalities that complement each other very well. Sam plays as a more straight up detective reminiscent of ones from Hollywood, always focused on the case. At the same time has his moments of funny exchanges with Max and the other characters.
Max on the other hand is simply malicious and cruel in a funny manner. In his conversations he enjoys mocking things and making references to guns, destruction, and anything else that involves bodily harm. It's surprising that this rabbit with bad manners is actually a detective.
There is plenty of dialogue in this game, and some of it can be pretty pointless because it's not funny and doesn't help move the story. If you can't stand Max making jokes all the time, even about the most mundane objects, then this game will not be for you. Most of the characters play off each other pretty well, and the best ones include recurring characters like Bosco, a paranoid convenience store owner who dabbles in conspiracies, and Hugh Bliss, a weird religious magician who runs the Prismatology cult.
