It is beautiful.

The original was the greatest adventure game of all time. The remaster looks and sounds better. The biggest problem with the original was at least three puzzles that weren't necessarily difficult, but DIFFICULT to execute on the win 98 platform way-back when. The puzzles are much easier to EXECUTE in the remastered version. There will probably not be an adaptation of GD into a motion picture. However, I would love to be in an auditorium with other GD fans, watching a panel of newbies playing the game in front of us all on a big screen. Hearing the newbies commentary, and asking us for help would be really interesting. Not to mention seeing the incredible artwork on a bigger stage and hearing the mesmerizing music on bigger speakers. Somebody rent a movie theatre and make this happen!

Poor remaster of a great game

Grim Fandango is one of my favorite games of all times. It has a great story and a really unique immersive world that pulls you in. I decided to get the Double Fine remaster and revisit the game. I feel terribly disappointed by Double Fine's remaster. As some of the other reviewers called this game Grim Fandango Rebugged, that would be a more apt name for this release. I often found myself forgetting to save and then having to replay a certain part I spent hours playing because of some bug that caused the game to crash. The game especially likes to crash where it transitions between cinematics and gameplay. The remaster in itself is not really that noticeable, so I find that very disappointing too. I think more time could've been spent on making Glottis' character model looking a bit smoother and nicer. It's a minimal remaster, and I feel what I'm left with detracts more than it added from the experience, which is sad. I love this game, but I hate this incarnation. Double Fine I expected better.

Great Game, Won't Work on my Mac.

I loved playing this game in '98 and so bought it to play it again. Sadly I can't even get past the intro. My Macbook Pro (I7, 2011, OS10.10) won't get past the starting titles (Lucasarts screen) without crashing the computer so badly all that is left is to reboot. I'm not sure there was any QC done on the mac version prior to release.

Wonderfull experience

I really enjoyed this game. It was fun, challenging, full of funny and lovable characters and overall just great pastime. The only problem that i see is that the game had to end, because i wanted to enjoy more of it. Oh, well ... i'll just play it again from the start. :)

Apex of classic adventure games!

LucasArts were the masters of adventure games, and this is their swansong.
