This is the best way of doing a remaster

Grim fandango is one of my, if not my favorite game ever. I was curious to see how well it has aged. Very well indeed. Because the backgrounds were so good to start with, I am pleased with what they chose to remaster. Makes it FAR more enjoyable to look at. So, why 4 stars? The controls and the bugs. It is tedious to control, no matter the selected scheme. I am thankful for controller support though. But the bugs, oh the bugs! Save save save. Game freezes, sound distortions and a bunch of visual glitches. The game itself? This is perhaps the best voice acting of any game; worth the price just for that. As for new gamers, you will find this HARD. Some puzzles are incredibly annoying (technically, not because they are weird, like you have to stand at the exact spot where you swear you already went before, etc.). Story wise, impeccable except for one thing: when Salvador asks if Manny is in love with Meche before the forest, that makes 0 sense at this point, he has been with Meche no more than 7 minutes! After that though, all the relationships are brilliant, especially with Glottis! I hope this sells enough to get DOTT remastered as well.

Amazing game, flawed remake

This is, without a doubt, one of the greatest games of all time. The characters and dialogue are brilliant, the story is epic, and the gameplay and puzzles are challenging, but fun. The fact that it's finally being re-released is awesome, but unfortunately this remake does have its flaws. Bugs and glitches abound, and the game crashed quite a few times on me. Once the game wouldn't start up at all and I had to reinstall it and replay the game from the beginning to get back to where I was! The "remastered" graphics aren't even in HD. However, I guess I can forgive the game for all its faults, as you can switch to the original graphics at any time, which may stop the crashing problem, and the remake did introduce me and many others to a gem of a game that we wouldn't have been able to experience otherwise. So despite its flaws, I'm still going to give it a 5/5.

Not compatible with 64-bit/ Catalina

Please note that this game version is NOT compatible with later versions of the Mac OS X if you found this link through google. I repeat, this game has not yet been updated to work with Catalina and will only work on your Mac if you can support 32-bit. The note for this is currently in fine print at the bottom of the page and hopefully this message can save you the trouble if you're also a Mac user.

Welcome back from the dead, Manny.

I don't really know what to say about the game that hasn't been said, let's just say that it's my choice for the nicest package of quality I've seen. The art style is great, as is the music, story, puzzles, and characters. Everything is good, great or fantastic. I've perhaps seen better stories (Deus Ex or Planescape: Torment) or graphics in other games but you just can't beat this Dead man's hand (!). You'll be captivated by the zany, Burtonesque, scratch that, Schaferesque world and (Casablanca inspired) story as it's sort of his established trademark by this point. A Día de los Muertos inspired Land of the Dead is one of the most original premises I've seen in fiction, a place filled to the brim with Art Deco, Noir and jazz. Hell, even the brief view of the Land of the Living is memorable and... Honestly more disturbing. The puzzles tend refrain from "put the peanut butter on a fine leather jacket" solutions, as sometimes seen in adventure games, Lucasarts in particular (not that there's anything wrong with them), so they do often feel intuitive, at least to me, but still retain what made their other games so charming. This is a remake that almost does everything right. It takes the game and polishes the rougher edges. The tank controls were the worst part of the original, not that they bothered me (Manny looks at objects by turning his head, then you push a key and he'll interact). There's the option to play with directly mapped keys (is that the name for it?), no turning required, or you can just use a mouse, old school style! Graphics are polished, model textures are redone and there's proper lighting, these can be turned on/off, pre-rendered stuff looks great but perhaps a little low res which is noticeable sometimes. I noticed some reworked tracks that all sound great, and there's commentary available which adds to the longevity. The best game ever made perhaps just got better, and now easier to get access to. I love you, Manny, Glottis and Meche.
