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
I loved playing this game in '98 and so bought it to play it again. Sadly I can't even get past the intro. My Macbook Pro (I7, 2011, OS10.10) won't get past the starting titles (Lucasarts screen) without crashing the computer so badly all that is left is to reboot. I'm not sure there was any QC done on the mac version prior to release.
I really enjoyed this game. It was fun, challenging, full of funny and lovable characters and overall just great pastime. The only problem that i see is that the game had to end, because i wanted to enjoy more of it. Oh, well ... i'll just play it again from the start. :)
oh lala, this game is so FUNNY, i have laughed so much during this game and you still want more.
This adventure is crazy, astonishing, original, so original that it is great.
I don't know what to say except it is worth playing. SO GOOD!!!
I find difficult to play old games, especially old point and click adventure. But if you past the first 15 minutes of this games, you just will fall in love with the charaters, they are so amazing. I played the title in italian and the voiceover was just perfect.
The game last six hour, but it feel like two. The only downsides are some puzzles with very few clues, that without any guide are almost impossible (for me). The remastered edition seems a legit conversion, the characters and the lightning are vastly superior, the background sometimes are a little blurred.
