An easily overlooked classic!
For some reason, I don't remember much about the first time I played 'Grim Fandango'. I remember bits and pieces of it, especially the first and second acts, but much of third and fourth acts were a blur. What I remembered most from playing 'Grim Fandango' was how frustrated I was with the tank controls and running into invisible walls. My unremarkable experience of playing 'Grim Fandango' made me very hesitant about buying 'Grim Fandango Remastered', even though I’ve really enjoyed Double Fine Production's remastering of 'Day of the Tentacle'. I'm glad I took a chance on this game because it is much better than I remembered it to be. First of all, the tank controls are now optional because you can now play the game using only the mouse, making navigation and giving action commands simpler. The inclusion of the mouse control was so seamless that it feels like it was there all along. I've also come to appreciate the creativity, cinematic homage and dry humour in 'Grim Fandango Remastered' now that I'm older and wiser. The writing was sharp, and voice acting was spot-on and natural. (The only voice acting performance that stood out like a sore thumb for me was that by Pamela Segall, who used the same voice for one character as she did for Bobby in 'King of the Hill'.) The remastering of graphics was subtle, mostly on the lighting of characters, character modelling, and textures. The score was also redone, making the jazzy soundtrack more sonically appealing. It's too bad that Double Fine couldn't go back and re-render the backgrounds so they will look sharper to achieve that full remastered look. 'Grim Fandango' is truly the last of LucasArts' great adventure games, and I'm glad Double Fine has remastered it to run on this generation of PCs and gaming consoles. Great games such as this need to be preserved and updated, so that the next generation of gamers can easily play and appreciate them in the years to come.
