Grim Fandango is one of the last great graphic adventure games. It is a great game however and deserves to be in everyone's collection. Grim Fandango stars Manny Calavera, a grim reaper who is not making quota. He can't seem to figure out why almost none of his cases are making it to the Cloud 9 express to the afterlife. After a tip, he goes off on a five year adventure to get the answers to what happened. Each year is separated into its own chapter. Along the way you will meet interesting characters and come across some challenging puzzles. The graphics are pretty nice and have a great use of color. Using the Day of the Dead holiday from Mexico as a theme is quite nice. It really adds to the whole game experience. The sound is good and the voice overs are perfect. No over acting here. The control scheme is a bit off as you use a keyboard or joypad to control Manny, but you get use to it after about ten to fifteen minutes. This is a game that all gamers should go out and buy and play. You will not be disappointed by this game. The only beef that I have is that it feels like it wraps up a bit to fast, but it is a great game and unfortunately, there has never been a sequel.
