Summary: A classic adventure game
Review: Grim Fandango is, hands down, the best adventure game ever, after the Monkey Island Series. All of the characters have their own unique personality and wit that will make you laugh. The keyboard is a little frustrating at times, but it is the only bad thing. The puzzles are dumbfounding at times, and some have ridiculous solutions, but it's nothing you can't look up on the internet. If you're looking for a very, VERY good adventure game, buy Grim Fandango.

Summary: What can I say which hasn't been said before?
Review: I never realised how much Grim Fandango had taken over my life in the short space of time that I had been playing it until I came to uninstall it a bit ago... The short Mexican guitar trill brought back all of those memories...At first I wasn't sure whether or not to buy Grim. It had good reviews, nice packaging, but sounded a little silly...thank god I did in the end. Even my sister enjoyed playing it, and she doesn't like Adventure games! With beautifully rendered back drops, cut scenes which will leave you drooling, real-time characters who really seem alive (!) and a wonderful change of atmosphere for every year, Grim Fandango is a peak of pure pleasure. If you half want to buy this but aren't sure, I will promise you now that you WON'T be disappointed! Oh, and the game seems to last for ever, as well, and the story line run up to the end will have you on the edge of your seat until the shocking climax shoot out!

Summary: What a blast!
Review: This is one of the most enjoyable games I have ever played. It should have experienced more success than it did. LucasArts does a great job putting out hilarious adventure games and this one (in my opinion) is right up there with Monkey Island. The puzzles are very well integrated with the story line. The characters are great. Glottis is truly hilarious. At a couple points during the game I found myself laughing so hard I had tears in my eyes. This game is very classy and very well designed. If I had to make a complaint, it's that the game ended to soon.

Summary: An exceptional game!
Review: This was truly one of the best games I have played in a long time. It has challenging puzzles that may at times seem impossible but the solution is often right before your eyes. Based upon the Mexican Day of the Dead it gives the player a little bit of background while keeping them entertained. Great game, lots of P.I. cliches, mentally stimulating, and just plain FUN!

Summary: Original and Literate
Review: Grim Fandango is best described as a detective story in the Film Noir tradition. The hero of the piece, Manny Calavera, evokes the private eye of the 1940's or '50's melodrama whose story begins with a dame walking into his office and who quickly finds himself enmeshed in a vast and corrupt conspiracy which may do him in. The difference here is that at the beginning of this story, Manny is already dead, and the events transpire in the Land of the Dead, the place where, according to Mexican folklore, departed souls go to embark on their journey to the hereafter. Blending Mexican folk mythology with the Film Noir genre, Grim Fandango is ultimately respectful of both traditions, and the striking art design is in keeping with this approach, combining Art Deco and pre-Columbian elements. The dialogue, refreshingly witty and literate, draws the player in to the characters and the story, as does the varied musical score, which includes Mexican folk melodies. The characters are for the most part vividly drawn, and due to the superb performances by the voice talent (particularly Tony Plana as Manny and Maria Canals as Meche) are fresh despite their mostly formula roles. One character which may provoke mixed reactions is that of Glottis, Manny's driver. A cartoonish, Jar Jar Binks-like figure, Glottis skews the story in a younger direction (at odds with the mild epithets employed by other characters in a few instances), and while my children liked Glottis, I expect most players will find him either endearing or irritating. The interface in this game is unusual. Rather than pointing and clicking with a mouse, the player controls Manny's movements with the arrow keys, waiting to see Manny's head turn to an object he becomes interested in and clicking "enter" to see what happens. This approach takes some getting used to, and can be cumbersome at times, but it places Manny at the center of the action and increases the player's identification with Manny, ultimately serving the story. The puzzles, many of which are multi-step, involve crafting Rube Goldberg solutions to various problems. Some of the solutions are thoroughly counterintuitive (I won't give anything away, but let's just say that objects such as balloons or a crystal paperweight are employed in bizarre ways), and are best solved through aggressive trial and error. Clues may pop up from time to time to expedite this sometimes tedious process. That aside, the Lucasarts team, especially writer Tim Schafer, deserve high praise for this highly original and literate adventure.

Summary: the best humour you'll can find in a game!
Review: A delicious atmosphere, a great sound, the best designed, architectured world and a great , great sense of humour. For me, the option of also having the dialogues written is perfect, since I am Portuguese and it is easier to understand if I can read it too. I love the spanish accent. An excellent adventure and puzzle . Very good entertainment.

Summary: Grim Fandango is the best
Review: This is one of the best lucas arts games in the world. It is fun, funny, and challenging.The plot is good, so the game will last you a lifetime. I think lucas arts should make this kind of game more, rather than depending on the success of episode one games. This is a the top of the chart of the best games. I dont think anybody has given this excelent game a bad review. If you have, you should get off the computer and think of what makes a really good game. What makes this such a great game? here are some examples. 1. there are plenty of humorous characters. 2. it never gets boring. 3. it gets more challenging. So, if you have not bought this game, buy it now before its sold out!
