Once a masterpiece- always a masterpiece
When Grim Fandango went out- it wasn't, by any means, a flawless game, but one can argue that it never was a game in the first place. It's a piece of culture, a mastepriece of beautiful craftsmanship. From the dark bridges and streets of casabalnesque Rubacava, to the undewater coral mines on the edge of the world, the Land of the Dead amuses with its spiritual richness and depth. The journey of Manuel Calavera isn't just a pursuit after Mece- it's a pursuit after long-lost justice, emotions and, ultimately- the sense of life and death itself. With polished textures and improved lighting, acompanied with one of the best orchestral soundtracks in years (masterfully brought back to life for the remastered edition), this gem, while retaining some flaws of the original, just cannot be percieved through them- just as noone is judging Rembrandt's canvases through the quality and age of their material, but for the essence that resonates though them. And the resonation of Grim Fandango was, indeed, never such a strong one.
