The date is 15th of December 2004, Grim Fandango has recently passed its 6th Birthday. What an amazing 6 years this has made for me! I can honestly say, hand on heart, that this is the best game I have ever played. For it's time the graphics are jaw-droppingly unbelievable, in my opinion they are better than games made in the 'naughties', I'd have to say they are on par with San Andreas at the moment, and San An scores less than this game in my ratings. The gameplay is impecable, the learning curve is so simple and the challenges are challenging yet doable at the same time. The humour is one of the greatest in any video game, forget about all the immaturity in Grand Theft Auto, this is the real dry and witty humour that only Lucas Arts could pull off. It's an absolute shame that they chose to follow Star Wars and not flawless (to a certain extent) adventure games such as Grim Fandango, Sam & Max and Day Of The Tentacle (of which I am currently playing). The soundtrack is also brilliant, it's on my MusicMatch Jukebox now, the jazz meeting latin music is great. The characters are unique, you won't find anyone like them in many other games... they're dead for one. The environment is brilliant, despite there only being a set area which you can explore. The storyline is a little rough but believable, I have completed this game so many times I have lost count, easily into double digits and I'm still not tired of it. Will Manny find and rescue Meche? You'll have to play for yourself to find out. I'm ready to take you now...

Point-and-Click Adventures. Love 'em or hate 'em, there's no denying that some of them are the most revolutionary games ever. And Lucas Arts have made some of the best of them. So, in 1998, when the chapter of adventure ... Read Full Review
