One of those little Gems that will endure the test of time. A truly amazing and charming adventure.
User Rating: 10 | Grim Fandango PC
Back when I was sporting a Pentium MMX 200 I played the demo of Grim Fandango, its strange and attractive graphics and the movie-esque trailer drew me to it. Being nout but a wee 13 year old at the time, I couldn't afford it and I had to wait 'till the birthday, excitely I popped it into my CD drive and (after cleaning out some of my 3 gig hardrive) I installed it. I was so upset. It seemed that 16mb of ram was not enough for this beast. So I clubbed together my birthday money and got myself up to 64 meg of ram. The Power! I was engrossed, this game was, to my mind, what games were made for. Manuel Calavera, a very charming reaper, was by far the richest charactor I had ever come across in a game and those that surrounded him (Glottis, Meche, Domino, Hector and many more) were all as vivid. The story is amazing, and after 4 play throughs, I still chuckle and and cry. Give it a go, these days you can pick it up for a fiver and it will run on any system (if its patched to run on XP) and is well worth it. Play it and fall in love with it. My only snag is that a sequal has never been announced... Viva la revolution! (Graphics Reviewed as my first reaction, though not too ugly, they are now aged.)
