I think Hit the Road might be looked at here through severely rose-tinted glasses.

Personally I think the puzzles in Sam & Max are excellent: sufficiently challenging, but not obscure or annoying.

That said, I don't play adventure games primarily for the puzzles, I play them for the total experience. So I'm pleased to see an adventure game series with priorities other than looking really serious/dramatic or punching you in the face with elaborate and sometimes frustrating obstacles. I mean, that's okay too, but there's so much of that right now. The Sam & Max games just give you lots of fun stuff to discover and add unexpected surreal twists to gameplay mechanics that we already know, which in my book is totally awesome.

Games like Sam & Max and Phoenix Wright have given me the most fun in adventure games I've had in years.
