Only for the nostalgic...
In short: It depends if you have played this game when it came out: If yes, then you might enjoy the better controls. If not, don't bother. I did not play the game on release, I read much about the controls and decided to skip it. When Monkey Island 4 came out with the same controls, I had to play it because it was Monkey Island, what could I do? And even though I liked the game, having no mouse support really really sucked. So now I decided to give Grim Fandango a chance, it's having mouse support after all, but I just don't have fun. There are too many problems. For one, there are the screens. I want to compare it to Alone in the Dark or Resident Evil, you can manage it, but it can be distracting. The inventory is zoomed in so that you can't see an item entirely, and since there are no descriptions unless you click examine, it takes time to check everything. Also inventory management takes forever since you always have only one item on screen, and you are clicking left and right constantly to cycle through everything. The puzzles, oh my god, range from absolutely easy to insane moon logic. And that was the moment (about five hours in) I realized this game is not for people like me. It's for people who enjoyed it when it came out, and just want to revisit old memories, and in that case add 2 more stars. But there is something positive to be said: The story is interesting, and the voice acting (English) is superb! But that's not enough. Sadly it's leagues below masterpieces like Day of the Tentacle, Indiana Jones IV or Monkey Island.
