Complete playthrough. Back again with another excellent episode, Abe Lincoln Must Die! finds Max running for US President after inadvertently 'killing' a literal puppet standing in for the role, competing against a giant statue of Abe Lincoln. With a musical number popping up at a wonderfully unexpected moment, this whole episode was a great time to play through.
Abe Lincoln Must Die! is the fourth episode of Sam & Max Save the World. This is the best episode so far in my opinion and I will get into on why.
In this episode Sam & Max gets a call from the commissioner (well they call him...) who lets them know that the president of the United States has gone insane and needs to be stopped. So off to the White House they go where one thing leads to another... There's a lot of US politics references, fun characters and even a musical number! The over-arching storyline is closing in as well, but still with a lot of questions.
Gameplay-wise this is much like the other episodes, however there is a lack of mini-games in this one which was a bit disappointing (unless you count a certain button a mini-game).
Overall I loved this episode, because nothing is as enjoyable as some Bush-era political satire. That together with the regular whacky Sam & Max humor, it makes a perfect and enjoyable match. And hell, the satire presented is still very relevant! As I said in the beginning of the review, this is the best episode so far and I hope the rest holds to this standard.
