One of the most acclaimed adventure games of all time is now back, better than ever. Grim Fandango's epic story of four years in the life (or death) of Manny Calavera, travel agent to the dead, has been remastered to look, sound, and control even better than when it won GameSpot's Game of the Year award upon its original launch. Grim Fandango still stands as a classic of the genre, with unforgettable characters and unique combination of film noir and Mexican folklore.
Grim Fandango Remastered includes:
Repainted, hi-res character textures
New, dynamic lighting
Classic score re-recorded with a full live orchestra
The Best adventure game .. hands down .. the best. Full Throttel and Day of the Tenticle were good but Lucasarts went all out in this one. The content and Day of the Dead theme made for an adventure game thas has never been matched.
Story is twistedly good, which is why we're playing. But adventure game puzzles from the 90s are so bloody irritating. (Very much appreciating the Universal Hint System website)
The game is playable and its charm shines through, but there are too many technical issues to not warn people about them. You will experience game breaking bugs throughout the game and getting past them is a puzzle in itself. I wish this game would get a patch or something to fix them, but atleast you can find ways around these bugs so you aren't completely stuck. Just save often and look up your issues and you'll be golden
This game is a classic, I had so much fun with it in my younger years. I played through 1 - 2 hours of this game last night with my fiance and will be continuing to the end and we had a blast. I did hit a couple of temporary freezes in my game, although they were short lived. I can only assume these are due to me playing on a modern Windows release and Microsoft do enjoy breaking stuff. I will be playing on Linux for the next session.
Anyway, a very fun game with a witty and comedic script. I'm pleased I have this in my library.
