Where is the Sequel? A game like this needs one!
User Rating: 10 | Grim Fandango PC
I played this game back in 1999. At the time, I was completely blasted by the very well developed game line, the imagination and of course, the music score. Back in 1999, it was way ahead of its time, by so much that still today it is hard to find a game like it. Many have tried, few had succeeded (I would say the closest thing I’ve played after Grim Fandango that it’s close in terms on innovation and music score is Beyond Good & Evil). It was so advanced that my 1999 computer, which was relatively high end for the time, had problems running some of the graphics and the sound was not that good. It was the ONLY complain I had of the game, so I decided to finish it, shelve it for 8 years, a play it later on a better computer to enjoy it at all its glory
Well, I was surprised in 1999, and I was surprised again in 2007 with the quality of the game. Granted, the plot was resolved, I already knew how the game will end, but again I had difficulty solving of the puzzles, which I enjoyed and was thrilled, and the graphics and the music are still very good, even when compared to today standards. Many games look old and the music out of context after a few years of release, but not Grim Fandango. This is a classic, and as such it stands the passage of time
So now with the performance issues I had back in 99 resolved, I must give a solid 10 to this game. Now, if they only develop a sequel. I need one!!!
