aka: Deeds of the Dead
Moby ID: 201

A beautiful gem from the past

The Good
Story is very good , game is never boring and you rarely get stuck. Characters are lovely and have a very strong soul (despite they're all dead :)) plus they act very nicely inside the game. I Like 3d graphic considering that the game was done long time ago and sound theme keeps you good company. It's very long but in a good way. I didn't feel like i was solving fillers but everything is fitting very well inside the whole picture.

The Bad
Despite is quite rare you may feel lost from time to time. it's trick to get used to the controls and also animation are not perfect but these are very little things.

The Bottom Line
Grim Fandango it's a great game, keeps you a lot busy and the story is intriguing and a very immersive experience. I think it has also survived quite well in the last, what is it, 26 years? I just played it again few weeks ago and it was pure fun
