You can easily choose what dialog option to perform from the coveted conversation tree and you can also interact all the time with an inventory system that allows you to solve puzzles a lot easier and faster.
In addition, Sam & Max Hit the Road isn’t a game about violence, instead all the action is fun and all their stories, including this one is filled with humor and exciting things.
