There is a greater emphasis on visual gags in Situation: Comedy, which usually works. However, the greater visual demands caused increased graphical issues. I encountered frequent slowdowns, pauses, and sometimes missing chunks of scenery, even on minimum detail settings. Sam & Max isn’t a high-intensity shooter or action adventure, but you’ll still need a computer with well above minimum requirements to properly enjoy the view.

One of my complaints about the first episode was the skimpy plot and small number of locations. If anything the plot is even more threadbare this time around, but I have come to grips with fact that this is how Sam & Max works. The plot is just an excuse for outrageous situations and off-the-wall commentary, and Situation: Comedy certainly improves things in this regard. Apart from brief visits to Sybil’s and Bosco’s establishments, all the action takes place in a TV studio, but this location provides plenty of fodder for wacky situations. Granted, sitcoms, cooking shows, talk shows, game shows and American Idol have all been skewered before (and better) but never in Sam & Max style.
