All five episodes from point-and-click adventure Sam & Max Season 2 in one, neat package.

History

In an Atari London press event on 2nd December 2008, Atari revealed a partnership with Telltale Games to bring Sam & Max Season 2 worldwide for the PC and Wii.  Later in the day, Telltale posted the news on their blog, saying that this is the "first time foreign language versions of Season Two are available, with fully localized releases in French and German, as well as Italian and Spanish subtitles".

Episodes

Sam & Max Season 2 consists of five episodes, rather than six like the first season. Telltale stated that they felt six was too many, and that working on five would allow them to improve the quality of the episodes. Each episode roughly lasts around three to four hours, with a running plot throughout which leads up to the final episode. Clicking on the ~ at the start of each summary below will take you to that specific game page.

Ice Station Santa

~ Sam & Max discover a robot destroying their street, which has apparently been sent by Santa Claus. They go to investigate, and find that Santa is being controlled by an evil force, and is sending out harmful toys to kids. Going back in Christmas past, present and future, the freelance police send Santa back where he belongs.
 

Moai Better Blues

~ The pair take a surprise trip to the tropical lands of Easter Island to try and stop a massive volcano eruption. The ancient Moai Heads recognise Sam & Max as a sign from the prophecy that will end their existence. Sam & Max convince some ocean chimps that Max is their almighty God, but not before Mr. Spatula can start the lava machine.

Night of the Raving Dead

~ The whole town has been taken over by zombies, and their evidence tracks the outbreak down to Jurgen's castle in Stuttgart, Germany. Upon entering, they find that 'The Zombie Factory' is actually a rave, Sam & Max do everything they can to destroy Jurgen's reputation. However, they up getting their souls crushed and being turned into zombies. With the help from a monster brought to life, Sam & Max return to the world of living.

Chariots of the Dogs

~ Bosco has vanished from the face of the Earth, and Sam & Max enter his store to try and find him, but end up being abducted. Bosco explains that he entered a time machine and has been turned into a cow. Visiting locations from different places in time, such as the White House and the start of the universe, Sam & Max return Bosco's family tree back to normal, and solve the paradox of him not existing... but who really is T-H-E-M?

What's New, Beelzebub?

~ Sam & Max head down to Hell to try and save Bosco's soul from Satan. Sam & Max find that they have their own personal room in Hell, thanks to sending so many people down below. In the room they find dioramas of personal hells, and set out to free them. However, Satan notices this and sends Sam to a personal hell of his own. He escapes with the help from Max, but realizes that Satan isn't really the top dog in hell...

Distribution

Sam and Max Season 2 was distributed through GameTap, a subscription based PC gaming service, and was followed by a worldwide release through Telltale Games' website a day later. A worldwide, retail Wii and PC version was announced on 2nd December 2008. On February 26th 2009, it was announced that the game would be released on XBLA with the new name of 'Sam & Max: Beyond Time and Space' (instead of the 'season two' subtitle). On October 14th, 2009, the whole season did come out on XBLA with a price tag of 1600 Microsoft Points.

Gameplay

Sam & Max Season 2 is a point-and-click adventure game. This simply means that all the controls you need is to click somewhere to interact with it. For example, clicking on someone starts a conversation with them, or clicking an object could either add it to your inventory, or just give a description of it. The inventory is represented by a cardboard box in the bottom left of the screen, which can be expanded to show the contents. You will have to use items that you pick up to help you get past scenarios and advanced in the plot. You mainly control Sam, however certain points in the game allow you to control Max.
