The profession of a private detective is a hard work, whatever one may say. Early rise, tiring work, fuss with stupid assistants, mediocre villains – yes, all this will be reduced to the grave! Even Sherlock Holmes – and he allowed himself to kill. But the routine of a classic detective can always be exchanged for something more interesting. Yes, what is there, sometimes you don’t even have to change-just add a thrill, a little humor and get behind the wheel of the only car in the city, from which all the inhabitants shy away! And respect has nothing to do with it: well, who wants to fall under the wheels of two drivers who personify the law, but at the same time spitting on it and demolishing everything in their path?! This is the nature of Sam and Max – civil detectives who can bring any business to the end. Or to the handle.
This pair is far from the image of immense, slow cops with donuts, on the faces of which it is read: "I learned this life a long time ago, young Padavana". Actually, they have nothing to do with people: Sam is a big dog in a gray suit and a felt hat, and Max is a white rabbit with outstanding ears and a good smile of a maniac. If one always considers the operation from beginning to end, tries to be consistent and rational, then in the head of the second – boiling semolina, from which valuable thoughts occasionally emit.
And this is despite the fact that the white psycho managed to become the president of the United States! You should not be surprised – these two visited a bunch of troubles and have seen a lot: they flew to the moon, made friends with the whaleswell, repuls the toy mafia and even destroyed the ominous plans of the hacker, which wanted to sharpen the whole world in virtual reality. But this time the problem is much more serious, because we are talking about the safety of not only the land, but the whole universe.
Darwin's theory in action
Have you ever heard of the intergalactic prison Penal Zone? No? Only ardent sociopaths who want to capture the world and immerse it in chaos are sent to it. Here is a gorilla-overgrown, General Skunkapa, landed there, but managed to break free and now intends to return to his villainous activity. And it consists not only in the enslavement and destruction of the planets, but also in the search for powerful artifacts that give their owner unusual abilities, such as the ability to teleport or in the blink of an eye to calculate the correct amount of tips in a restaurant.
One fine day, the giant brown-lilac muzzle of the gorilla lands on the street where Sam and Max live. The neighboring house under the weight of the spaceship quickly turns into a pile of bricks, but this does not prevent the general from screaming that he came in the world (and in his eyes it is read “Resistance is useless!"). Only a couple of detectives and the head of the presidential security service understand that the case is the seams and we must quickly get rid of the hypocritical guest.
But there are enough those who fully support the scarcap! For example, the underground people – a cross between people with moles who spend most of the time underground, do not work and whine a lot about how difficult it is for them. The alien gives these creatures a free galactic journey: a man enters a small room on the ship, the door slamms, the rumble is heard, the flickering light is visible from the cracks, and then everything calms down, and only personal belongings remain in a special urn. What is happening there actually? You will definitely find out in the future. Well, or in the past, it depends on what angle to watch: travel travel, paranormal abilities and a chance to change the future steel by the leitmotif of the pilot episode of the new adventures of two detectives.
Humor blow
The developers did not hit philosophy, just Max found a great gift to use magical objects. The very ones that the monkeys are chasing the general. Glasses entered the raking fluffy paws, through which the near future is visible, and the phone that can transfer its owner to any place on the ground, if only there was another apparatus nearby. It seems that all these inventions are a matter of nonsense, though? In principle, the way it is, but the detectives find them the right application.
Imagine: the entrance to the store has blocked a hefty primacy, it is impossible to agree with it, and getting inside is simply necessary. What to do? Put on glasses, see what will happen to it in a couple of minutes, and repeat the spied trick with a banana peel and an open sewer hatch.
But what if the unfortunate rabbit landed at the clutches of one of the guards of the Skunkapa and after a minute will turn into an excellent paste? We get the phone from the bosom, pick up the first number that came across and melt right in front of the surprised gorilla!
Most of the tasks are solved with the help of simple manipulations with a stolen cell phone of one of the heroines and two magical artifacts, but it is not possible to do it to the right decision far from immediately. And not even because some moments are too heavy … just some clue make you forget about logic and turn on the imagination. Say, feed the pigeon's phone so that he attributed him to the nest, or turn Max into a rocket launcher in order to smash a spaceship into fluffs.
However, what heroes, such antics, and the company has gathered here the rightful. For example, a girl named Momma Bosok – smart, beauty, scientist, inventor, mistress of the laboratory and charm itself. One thing is bad – she has long died and is now translucent, flies from place to place and may appear from nowhere at any time.
Or here is the sailor of Steenka ("smoke"), who does not need anything from life except a bunch of money. But even having won the lottery, the sea wolf still continues to act on everyone on the nerves.
Not without the fatal beauty, into which the general falls in love with. True, it does not correspond to the classical image a little: she only knows about cunning and treachery by textbooks. But this is quite enough to mix all sorts of rubbish instead of natural foods to the food of local eating customers. Guess who makes fun of every action? That's right, Max!
The impudent, evil rabbit does not fall silent for a minute, constantly releasing caustic comments about and without. He is ready to sharply on any topic, but prefers black humor and vulgarity, for which he sometimes gets on the head from Sam. Often in the literal sense: to remove the partner from the road, the dog just throws it into the air. In rooms with a low ceiling, the eared maniac has tightly, but he is not afraid of difficulties, and there are not so many levels.
Described beauty
Most of the streets who visit civilian detectives are more likely similar to each other, and even the main characters are joking on this (they generally like to comment on the work of developers and scriptwriters). Although, compared with the first two seasons, there is a real full house: we will fall into the subway, and a spaceship, and a small bar with terrible music, and to the temple of a secret society, and in a dilapidated house with ghosts, and even in another reality!
You won’t have to walk on foot – almost everywhere the beloved Desoto is dominated, who will knock all the barriers, fire taps, advertising stands, benches and road signs along the way.
A phone, an old computer and a console respond to the general name COPS and can help with valuable advice, although before you hear something really important from them, the inventory will have time to quarrel and forget the topic of the conversation. But as soon as the scanner joins them, the newly formed quartet will begin to process evidence and give out accurate addresses where there may be any clues. Card in the teeth, steering wheel in paws – and forward!
All movements around the city are accompanied by colorful videos, showing in detail how exactly Sam and Max are spreading their favorite city. The caricature style of the game is definitely to the face (it is not for nothing that the series originates from comics), but in some places three-dimensional animation paid too much attention, completely forgetting about the details. No, we have nothing against the backgrounds. They are perfectly drawn, and the backstage life is worthy of a careful study-rats fight each other by the garbage, mole rumble back and forth along the tunnels. However, if the raven looks like a desk, that is, excuse me, the pigeon looks like a cube, this is already too much ..
If you find fault, then only to control. Running with the help of arrows and WASD has long become the norm in quests, it remains only to dream of convenience: the camera does not always show the desired angle, and for the tenth time to pierce Sam for the barcade before finally break the barricade, then another entertainment!
But not even once flattened against the wall, he still continues to joke intelligently, encourage everyone and all and confident cowardly moves to the only true decision. Yes, and faithful Max is always there, although a trip on his thoughts is unlikely to forget: well, atomic bombs, aircraft carriers and paintings of Armageddon are making in the head of the rabbit?! He is not a devil in the flesh? Although everything can be – the ending leaves many questions that we can get answers only at the end of a five -part trip.
Verdict: The excellent start of the new saga about a pair of intergalactic detectives. The fight against alien villains is an entertaining undertaking, especially when they are so charming, and there are much more successful, topical jokes. We demand a continuation of the banquet!
[[Break]]
Act I
Who could predict what the visit of General Skunkapa, who swore so sincerely, would lead to humanity? No one except Sam and Max, and they are disarmed, locked in a cage and are forced to observe how the villain destroys his native planet.
However, it is enough to get to Sam's pistol to be wrapped with the offender. But for this you will have to get out of the lattice, but how to do it without a master key, a file or dynamite? Only with the help of paranormal abilities – like those that Max recently found. Well, teleportation will suit us: we pull out the phone from the bosom, dial the number of a green-haired young lady named Steinka, and-Voila! – Detectives at large, but the world is still in danger. All hope for dexterity and a well -aimed shot of the dog … But no, not fate: the general does not care the earth's weapon, he did not even really understand what happened.
Let's try differently. The inventory contains an unusual drive lighthouse, which can be attached to the scunpt on the back and send it home – to Penal Zone prison. But the gorilla is all the time on his guard, and he has no problems with his hearing: just like that can’t get behind.
We need to urgently look for another way out, and in this we will try to help a large brain in an equally large test tube, which communicates with detectives telepathically. He knows a lot about the new skills of the rabbit and hurries to present one more that will allow to turn into anything: it is enough to put something like a rubber nose into the desired appearance, grind and activate. It would be nice to turn Max to a closet or something that Sam can hide from the penetrating and incredulous look of the general. Or maybe a palm tree is suitable from a drawing near the throne? Why not, in fact!
And now the dog successfully sneaks up to the goal, while the naive Skunkapa thinks that the plant has put Steenka in order to decorate the ship. Clever movement of the hand, fast run back, activation of distance management – everything, the portal to prison is open. But we underestimated the general: he is too strong, does not want to return at all and clung to the helm that there is strength. You need to find a way to make him unclench his fingers.
And again, help comes from the speaker: he advises to turn to another prisoner, Harry, who calmly lets saliva in his aviary. Whether he was unconscious, or he was pumped up with something, but he will not work out to talk with this mole. I wish I could read his thoughts ..
And what? Not a problem! A friend from the test tube indicates in the direction of the next artifact, which will give Max a wonderful ability to delve into other people's brains. It would seem that ordinary cards, but if you throw one in Harry, you can find out a bunch of new. True, it does not smell useful here – unless you can call his phone from our machine for teleportation.
It worked: detectives on the upper deck, where there should be at least something useful. No, apparently, the owner does not like to flaunt his weapon: on the window there is only a drawing of his beloved bazuka. Although, given the ability of Max, you can try to make a real death machine out of it. Great! It is time to take sculpers and force him to disappear from our universe forever. Boom!..
The general carried away to the open portal, but this is not the end! More precisely, the end, but it has yet to be reached, but for now it would be nice to find out how a pair of detectives was on board the ship of one of the most dangerous villains of the Galaxy.
Act II
It all started quite everyday: Sam and Max stood near his office, and while the rabbit was indulgent, the dog was talking on the phone with the police commissar. Fortunately, to unfortunately, but only the city swept a wave … Legality. No offenses, no criminals – boring to horror.
In any case, it was exactly until the restless eared dumping found strange glasses in a pile of garbage, wearing which I saw everything we talked about above. At this very moment, a gigantic ship in the form of a gorilla’s head appeared in the sky: he landed exactly on a neighboring house, reducing the office of an old acquaintance with the ground – Sibil.
Skunkapa himself came out of the opening monkey, saying loudly that he flew in the world and wants to help earthlings with the development of technology, and especially glad to see the underground people. Agent Super Bull, Head of the Presidential Security Service, immediately jumped up to the new arrived (and the president we still have Max!), and behind him and two detectives.
The general joyfully answered all the questions: it turns out that he flew from the distant marshy planet Pencesacola, on which there are a lot of mosquitoes, dissidents and crying babies. There he was quite comfortable, but the thirst for adventure prevailed-the alien arrived in order not only to help the local in everything, but also to find the mysterious eye of the yoga of the Soggota-an artifact that allows you to see the future (apparently, his rabbit was picked). Skunkapa also noticed that he was always glad to guests on his ship, and for moles he prepared an unforgettable journey to another world. Almost nothing betrayed the true essence of the gorilla. Nothing but an evil laugh, a terrible look and periodic transitions to a scream. Well, we should check how much he is hospitable, and visit the ship.
And inside everything is not at all the way we recently saw: quietly and calmly so much that it seems as if something is missing. Oh yes, the voices of the brain-it would be necessary to check how he, maybe he will be able to give some useful advice. Although it is unlikely: our incorporeal friend seems to have died, and there is no chance to bring him back to life. Or there? Let Max check – put on his new toy and look through it first on the brain, and then at Sam. The vision is quite optimistic: now the detectives know that for revitalization you will need a demon broth and a futuristic power generator of the Bosz. What the hell?!
Okay, there is still nothing to do on this ship. We finge! No, wait, someone is going to enter the room. And for sure – before us is one of the representatives of the underground people, a firm gait heading for the door, from where, apparently, an unforgettable cruise starts. Obhrodid sounds come from there for a couple of seconds, then everything subsides, and only in a metal urn there are two objects: a miner's helmet and a ticket that the little man used to use. Well, now we’ll definitely sink.
We should go through the surroundings and see what yes how. To begin with, it would not hurt to approach the office and check the car – how is the phone, the old computer and the console beaten by time, from which the COPS detachment is in it. It seems they are all right, only there is not enough scanner.
… And these guys, however, can get bored so much that they want to hide underground! Fortunately, the sewer hatch is opened opposite the local eatery. There is almost nothing interesting inside: the rats fight for the tidbit of a tidbit, exporting each other noble kicks, and on the left someone left Lincoln's head. But the detectives are already familiar with Aib, but the mysterious tunnel on the other side is really interesting. It’s a pity, Max does not want to get dirty – you have to return to the surface and go to the Steerian bar.
Here, as always, a full house – as much as one client. And he is a competing private detective Flint, who had just brought spaghetti with meatballs, and he is not tuned to the conversation. Minute, and what kind of stupid music comes from the radio receiver? A mess, you need to talk with the old man Steenka – an old sea wolf who has been holding this institution for many years.
His business seems to be good. Yes, it is slightly dissatisfied with the permutation that the granddaughter started, and the music also annoys him – but what to do, you have to keep up with the times. The only joy is the manufacture of new dishes than the sailor and is engaged in days. For example, I recently prepared a demon broth, whose recipe will agree to share only when he wins the lottery. That is, never: the old man still remembers how thirty years ago Sam and Max stole his patent for something remarkably tasty.
Maybe the granddaughter of Steenka can tell something useful? No, it is unlikely, although the girl knows something without a doubt-well, she does not know how to lie, no matter how hard she tried! So, are we really at a dead end? Let's see what the rabbit gift of foresight will say, and first we find out how to talk flint. Oh God, but he will be chopped off a minute for a minute! It is urgent to save the poor man, and the Miner’s helmet will help us: the detective puts it on his head, includes a flashlight and sees arachis in a plate, which he has terrible allergies. Really the waitress wanted his death? Only Flint rises, as in the place where he was only sitting, the ax sticks out. Everything, the meal is spoiled, you can talk.
The detective is investigating the disappearance of the power nucleus of the Momma Bosco, and the traces lead to Steerkh Wire. Recently he discovered a curious letter signed "with.". In it, someone confesses to the girl in love, speaks about the imminent arrival and clarifies her phone number. Interesting, what will happen next?
We’ll find out right now: let Max wear magic glasses again and look at the beginning at the beginning, and then at his granddaughter. The old man rejoices at the winning lottery ticket, which he received from Sam, and the young lady speaks with someone unknown on the phone. And everything would be fine, but where to get this same ticket? In the future, which the rabbit sees, they will give on the radio that Harry will become the winner – the one who could not come to feelings on the ship Skunkapa. But so far he is just an employee of the Laboratory of Momma Bosco, to which we will go, returning to the car and opening the card.
A ghostly scientist is glad to see us and says that the power generator was really stolen, but now it is more preoccupied with a spatial destabilizer, which has been working on for a long time for a long time. Well, let's not yet bother her and process Harry: he complains that he did not get a ticket in the cruise of the scarcap. Let's try a barter? Mole happy agrees to exchange a lottery ticket for a chance to finally relax. Now you can return to Bar Stanki and please the old man with a prize of seven hundred million dollars – the demon broth passes into Sam's hands.
It remains to get a power generator, but it would be nice to take a greenish girl somewhere to search the establishment. Let's try to call her and organize a meeting specified in the letter – just return to the car, dial a familiar number and courageously be silent in the phone. And you can also dial Sibil – you will not regret. And do https://sister-site.org/goldenbet/ not forget to grab the wires for lighting from the rear seat – they will definitely come in handy, maybe even for torture.
What is she hiding in the bar? You definitely need to look for a bar. By the way, a good idea – a green button was discovered here, by pressing which one of the tables lowers and opens a secret move, which leads to the sewer. Here in a pile of garbage is the disappearance of Momma Bosco, which Sam refers to the ship Skunkapa. He floods the broth in a flask with a brain, puts a generator nearby and connects it using wires from a machine. It happened, Gordon (yes, that’s the name of our friend) came to life!
Act III
That's who can really tell about the monkey general. The worst fears were confirmed: he is going to enslave the universe and is not doing this for the first time. In addition, Skunkapa has a passion for magical artifacts that he himself is not able to use. One of them is below – this is a toy phone necessary for teleportation.
Gordon does not have time to finish, the enraged owner of the ship bursts, who nevertheless manages to restrain himself and not show his true face. Following him, an agent of superboll enters, the conversation with which puts a lot in its place. He says that the villain fled from the Penal Zone maximum security prison, which is in another dimension, but it can be returned back, activating the drive beacon.
Maybe it’s worth the Vanka – find out how she is there? Sam and Max are teleported to the corner of some street: apparently, the girl dropped the phone. Okay, it definitely won't be superfluous. Now we call Sybil and return to the native lands: it is worth finally penetrating the room where the moles go before the trip.
Howard opens the door, inside is discovered a talking computer that scans detectives, selects all Sam's personal items and equips them into a metal urn. So-so, what does it mean: "Do not shout, please, so as not to scare away the next visitors"?! Well, now, at least, it is clear what is happening here: the air temperature in the room increases so much that the underground people begin to sweat and literally melt. Poor!
Let's see what is happening in the Sting Bar? The old man stands behind the counter and wipes his icon – a gift of a smokunkap. This trinket is the same drive lighthouse, so, without waiting for the end of the conversation, Max is pounced on a sailor with fists, but to no avail. Then he decides on a desperate step: to teleport to the phone of a girl who remained in the urn.
The computer is glad to return the “customers”, but the sea wolf is trying to stop the process: the general appointed it to his deputy. But no, it turned out to be a lie: judging by the database, Steenka made the eighth chef on sauces. In upset feelings, he leaves the room, and Sam takes from the urn not only his junk, but also a beacon, a torn note, a scanner and a collection glass of pizzerias. And where only the old grych collected all this?!
But we will find out a little later, but for now we will return to Momma to lend a spatial destabilizer. The teleport was not the best decision: the henchmen of the Skunkapa were already waiting for the henchmen, one of which was chosen by Sam and pulled him out into the street, and the second grabbed Max.
How to save a friend? Let's try to climb the roof along the fire brigade on the right. There is no move inside here, but on the sign “Laboratory of Momma Bosco” sits a dove with something shining in the mouth. It did not work out to take the little thing – the bird dropped it down, but Max decided to call the Steenka, lying in the pocket of Sam in time: the rabbit and the gorilla teleported together, but on the cornice there was a place for only one of them, and the second fell on the part of the partner.
The gorillas are removed from the road, you can safely choose a pigeon treasure – the engagement ring. Now you can look at Momma, otherwise she was waiting: she managed to finish the destabilizer, and even the remote control of the remote control made. Thank you, dear!
It is time to look at Cops in action: Sam decides to give them a scanner so that they analyze the evidence found. For the procedure, you will need two items, and first it will be a sticked phone and a glass from a pizzeria. Excellent, a new place appeared on the map.
You can eat perfectly in the pizzeria, but the detectives are not for stuffing their stomachs-it seems that they will have to rummage in garbage tanks opposite in search of something worthwhile. Max puts on glasses and looks at his comrade: he sees how they rise to the roof of a neighboring building and approach the pigeon nest. For what? Omnivorous birds hid something, and the only way to get up is to feed the pigeon’s phone, wait for it to take off and call.
Everything was not in vain-in the nest lies evidence, a postcard from a collector of rare toys. She and the engagement ring go for lunch to COPS, and a new item appears on the map – pawnshop.
The entrance is protected by one of the gorillas of the Skunkapa, and Sam is at a loss. Max looks through magic glasses at garbage containers from which the dog makes a banana peel. Another look to the future-and Sam pushes the lid of the hatch, muttering something about the classic trick. Well, everything is really simple: open the hatch, put the peel on the lid and call the primacy, which will go to the sewer with a light movement of the rabbit paw. And in a pawnshop, nothing but a racket with a tied ball, there is no – you see, the general did not like her, since he decided to get rid of her ..
It remains only to find a toy store: COPS analyzes the last find and an old note from a metal urn, after which they give an address. It is a pity that the shop is closed for lunch. For the sake of the interest of Max, he puts on glasses and sees how Skunkapa is approaching them along with Sting and two guards, selects all the property of detectives and disables both of them. Unfortunately, events are developing too rapidly ..
Act IV
… and the heroes come to themselves already on the ship, sitting in a cage. In the cell opposite, Steenka is sharpened, which, however, is easy to convince that the general is a profitable party for her. Well, if the girl is free, then Sam and Max can easily teleport closer to her phone. But everything goes wrong as planned: the detectives changed the future, the Skunkapa found out about their plans, spying them on glasses, and sends a couple to Penal Zone.
But a beautiful prison! But what is it tikking all the time? A bomb is attached to the back of the rabbit, you need to urgently make your legs and teleport anywhere! Halfway, Momma and Super Bulls pull the detectives into the laboratory and explain that the colony was covered with an explosion, and now you can get rid of the general in the only way: to create a new dimension using the fault generator that collected Boskos. The only "but" – this device needs an insanely a lot of energy to earn. Well, and return the drive lighthouse to the back of the scarcap would not interfere.
The old trick with the telephone of Steenka works again, but sneaking up to the villain from behind – it is better to quietly climb the upper deck and consult with Howard. No, a bad idea: while there were no heroes, the brain began to degrade, he will have to go ahead. Stupid undertaking, but it works!
Now you need to urgently teleport to the office by dialing Sibil's number. However, it will not work to hide from the general just like that. He begins to fade along Sam from ship lasers, but he runs past the crevice in the ground, one of the rays falls into it and breaks down the passage down. Sybil boxes fly there with her phone, so it's time to make a second call.
Remember the tunnel that Max did not want to approach at the very beginning? Well, now you can go into it. Where does this secret move lead? Yes, straight into the temple of a sect worshiping two detectives and a mysterious box, which in no case can not be opened – you never know, suddenly Armageddon will come ..
And what is this hole in the box? It seems a socket, and what! And the cable is nearby, a little above the left. Excellent, now you can connect the fault generator and create a new dimension where the scunchka will fly away.
But the gorilla does not want to give up again: this time he grabbed with one hand by the crane and holds on to him with his last strength. Well, we will play his greed, but for starters, we will force sectar-tortures to sweat, increasing the temperature in the room. The puddle stretches from the hole in space straight to the passage to the new prison. To do this so that the Skunkapa releases a hand? Maybe lure it with a racket with an attached ball? What, it will completely go beyond the artifact.
He believed? In vain, oh in vain … goodbye, general, we will miss you!
