Wonderful Adventure but disappointed

Disappointed?!? Then why the 5 stars? Against my personal expectation, I award this game 5 stars because I experienced no issues with game mechanics, story, or presentation of this game. I expected much more from this title because I had read on the internet (so it had to be true, right?) that this game was awarded #1 Adventure Game of all time by an Adventure game publication. This game was FAR from that for me. I enjoyed the original story, comedy, and the puzzles were pretty well thought out and often resulted in some form of hilarity. So, for the record, I did enjoy this game. It was just very shy from blowing me away like I expected it would. Not the developers fault by any means. You can expect an original story in the spirit of Cinco de Mayo design, as you play a grim reaper who you discover to be a struggling saleman trying to sell travel packages to speed good folks travels across the wrought-with-peril land of the dead to thier final destination and work off your time to earn yours. There are memorable characters, plot twists, and clever puzzles. If your an adventure game enthusiast and haven't played this game, you won't regret picking this up, but don't go in with my high expectations. If your looking for fun adventure gameplay with a comedic approach that you can find on GOG, I would definitely recommend Toonstruck and Leisure Suit Larry: Love for Sail over this title. If you've already played those titles and want some more, take a crack at this one.

sadly many bugs

While the game itself is a good one, there are many many bugs letting the game crash back to the desktop or letting the game freeze.

Great Game, remastered with min effort

The game, story, audio and graphic is a 5 Star. But control is stupid and buggy. Both in the original and remastered version. I remember that in original Manny Calavera had to be controled by keyboard and cursor keys. I thought this to be a crazy concept. And it was. The remastered version now goes back to mouse control (great concept change!!!), but it's just buggy. There are multiple scenes were I got stuck because characters did hang up. And without auto-save this is not funny. For a game you can not die you don't save. But hell, in this game i did save a lot. Sound is great, story is great, Graphics are ok. But it's more or less the same as in the original game. So thanks to lukas Arts to make it in the first place. And some thanks to DFP to port the game to current operation systems.

Beware stuck bugs, remember to save game

I did get stuck bugged twice and had to restart the game both times. The progress that was not saved was lost and I had to go again. Despite the stuck bug not being a huge issue for me the game does not auto save and that was an issue. Do remember to save manually every now and then so you don't have to go and repeat your lost progress.You do not have to go overboard with manual saving, I only got stuck two times, so do relax. You might not even encounter any bugs at all. I'm not really into Point-and-Click adventure. If you're someone unlike me and likes Point-and-Click you should definately try this one out. To be fair to the genre. This title could get 5 stars, however because of the stuck bugs mentioned above I'll leave 4 fair stars behind.
