The Land of the Dead is actually a fascinating, wondrously surprising
and beautiful place so maybe the graphics seem outdated but the gamer
is pulled into one of the most compelling, unusual and creative worlds
in gaming. Grim Fandango has a terrific story, great humor, colorful
graphics, lively music and exceptional voice acting.
The puzzles in Grim are fun, but tough. They are smartly placed in
the narrative.Many of the puzzles are made up of multiple steps
requiring actions in several different game locations. The puzzles
accomplished in Grim Fandango may seem small but later on you realize
that they have had an important impact on the plot of story.
One of the most frustrating parts of Grim Fandango is that hotspots
in this game are signified by Manny's head movements. It works most of
the time but it's frustrating when Manny is at a distance or when
hotspots are close together.
Grim Fandango is one of the few adventures that left me with a terrible
feeling of emptiness once it was completed. I hope that LucasArts comes
to their senses and make a second Grim Fandango.
:'( I want more.
