The game itself needs no explanation :-) This review instead compares this 'remastered version' to the original game. Pros - no need for Residual VMM - responds well to modern game pads. I use XBOX 360 controller and it works great - commentary is quite interesting - wisely don't alter any of the original materials other than some music Cons - unlike other modern remastered games, this remastering smells of lazy, quick money grabber ploy (sounds like Disney really need some quick cash). This remaster does nothing to background 2D when compared to modern remakes such as Resident Evil (priced quite similarly to Grim Fandango Remaster, incidentally). When you change the screen aspect from 4:3 to 16:9, all it does is to stretch 2D background images to fit the screen. At least they could make high resolution version of static backgrounds that could work well with 16:9 screen ratio. Basically an expensive way to get 360 game pad support for Grim Fandango. I quite like using my game pad but the price is fairly steep so if you don't mind playing it with keyboard (or if you're a purist) then I would suggest getting an old version with Residual VM.
