The best sleeper hit of all time, sorta.
User Rating: 9.4 | Grim Fandango PC
You are Manny Calavera, an agent in the Land of the Dead who used to be on top, until that Dom guy came around. Now you've got to climb the ladder again or there won't be an office for you anymore. Welcome to the world of Grim Fandango. Let's start off with the basics, this is an adventure/puzzle game, so there's no combat. But the lack of tension-filled action is made up for in humor, clever puzzles, good art style, and well done dialogue. Right off the bat you'll notice how superb the game's voice acting is. In fact, it's so good, you'll actually think its an old movie, but in color. The art style is excellently done. LucasArts took Mexican style art and culture and blended it so well with oldtime American movies that it just... wow. I'm at a lack of words here. The atmosphere of the game is so unique and compelling, it'll keep you there for hours on end. My only complaint is on the controls and the lack of a tutorial telling what button does what, I found the menu by accident. Other than that though, I have no complaints about this game. In short, anyone with a good enough PC should pick up this game, you will not regret it.
