Summary: Sadly overlooked game
Review: For those of us who were addicted to this game when it came out, it's very sad to see that it was so underappreciated. The graphics are beautiful...the storyline is intelligent and funny. and the game play is easy to adjust to. It makes me wonder exactly what went wrong here.

Summary: Superb
Review: An engaging and original story, superb voice acting and fun music are just some of the things I can say about this game. Everyone I haved talked with that has played this game has loved it. Its one of the games you don't forget and know its a classic as soon as you finish it.Runs on my WindowsXP box with no trouble, so grab this game and enjoy a great piece of work. Just an update to my review. Grim Fandango runs fine on XP if you don't have more than one cpu. Since the Pentium 4 processors with hyperthreading emulate multiple processors this applies to single processor machines with these Pentiums as well. (Designated with a c) There is a way to get around this. Setting the game to run with a cpu affinity for one cpu. Yes, scary technical jargon. It just means forcing the game to run on a specific processor. Running the game in compatibility mode starts the game with an affinity for one cpu but wrecks the sound support. As a dev I was able to write a simple 3 line program to start the game with an affinity for one cpu without making it run in compatibility mode, thus getting it to play and not give up on sound. If you have a multiprocessor machine or a hyperthreading cpu and you really want to play this game you'll want to search the web for a program that lets you start applications with a specific cpu affinity. There was one called exemode a while back.

Summary: Lots of Fun and Humor
Review: Super game. Hated for it to end! Liked the characters, music and the puzzles. The story line was unique and fresh. Wish there was a sequel on the horizon.

Summary: At this price: IT IS A GREAT DEAL!
Review: I got this game as a nice gift for a friend who owns a pretty old computer. Let me tell you that this game is a milestone in Adventure/Quest Gaming, specially if you take the following aspects: - Graphics: OK, it's a little bit old, but the creativity and coloring of the scenes is amazing. - Dialogue: a nice display of the fun and tongue-in-cheek humor you expected from Lucas Arts games. - Sound: the music and environmental sounds are crisp and involves you in the action. It is a shame that this genre of gaming is almost extinct. This game is also a reminder of the good things we USED to get from Lucas Arts. This company has made a tradition nowadays to deliver awful products like SW Galaxies.

Summary: It's like a movie
Review: Welcome to the Land of the Dead - a place of corruption, villains and...dead people. You control the sales agent Manuel "Manny" Calavera. He (you) works for the DoD (Department of Death) within the Land of the Dead, selling journeys to the Ninth Underworld. You can get there by train (this is what's called a Double-N-Ticket), by boat, car, walking of postal. By train is the best, it only takes four minutes, BUT, you must have lived a very good life, so very few people qualify. The rest takes four years. Why are you working? Well, because you have been doing something you weren't supposed to do in your past life and work at the DoD to pay of your depts to society. Man, we're getting deep already. The game is based on the mexican holiday Day of the Dead. Now, when you think of the game as it is, a skeleton walking around, it doesn't sound fun at all, but that's what LucasArts is so good at - making the game fun! So, they have put a lot of finishing touches on all the characters, and, well, you can't explain, you've got to see it.
Anyway, back the story...a while ago, you were the best sales agent in the LotD, but now, Domino's the best there is. The DoD runs a illegal game, and you intend to prove it. And it sure in hell aint as easy as it sounds. You have to think the brains out to complete this game.Lemme tell you, when you steal a client from Domino, which is ensured a Double-N-Ticket to the Ninth Underworld but you can't fint it for her, all hell breaks loose. The good thing is that, if you have played a game in the Monkey Island series you know that a lot of the solutions is so nutty and weird that you don't even think about it for houres. But not here, everything is logic in this game. When you play the game, it got this wonderful feeling of a film noir, from the 30's. Grim Fandango got high-rollers, murders, weapons, corrupt bastards, and of course, great MUSIC!!! The music is one of it's kind, and it fits SO well, just like a film noir. It's jazz and swing. All made bu Michael Land and Peter McConnell, as usual. Even if you don't like jazz and/or swing, you wont bother.
The wonderful things about this game that is that it is, as I said, like a film noir, the music, the story, corruption, and it is like NO OTHER COMPUTER GAME YOU'VE EVER PLAYED BEFORE! You wont get this kind of feeling in Half-Life, Serious Sam (serious??) or any other game, it could ONLY be made by LucasArts! Ok, I'm done...but I reckon you should by the game. Trust me, the best money spent on a computergame in the history! Enjoy!

Summary: 10 stars
Review: This game is awesome: plain and simple. I picked up a jewel case copy for about ten bucks while visiting family. The setting is the land of the dead and you are...that's right...DEAD. You play Manny, a bony stiff with a reaper's scythe who's trying to work his way to the promised paradisiacal underworld. Naturally some problems get in the way and you have to work out the kinks. The storyline is enthralling and it kept me coming back for more every time. The animation is like nothing I had seen before I played it and nothing I've seen since has really rivaled it. Some of the puzzles are a little tricky but patience is the key to figuring them out and whatever you do, DON'T CHEAT unless you are absolutely positive you can't figure out what to do--this game is far too entertaining for you to ruin it by getting too much outside help. I just wish they'd make a sequel!!! Buy it now...
