Grim Fandango

The Good
I like the humor in the game, some things are laugh out loud, some you may only understand 10 minutes later. The cuts scenes are very good quality, they come quite frequently breaking up the game into smaller segments. Manny's voice - it seems strange but if the main characters voice got on your nerves you would not play, but Manny (main character) is alright, quite pathetic, I sometimes feel sorry for him. The storyline is engaging right from the start, Get a good case in the department of death or your fired! I like the land of the living, it is more surreal than i first thought, you have to see it.

The Bad
Using the keyboard, I never play games like this, finding things in the game world is quite hard. It took a while to get the hang of it, but there is a control menu to help learn them. Getting stuck, once you are stuck you are very likely to stay that way as talking to characters for inspirations certainly does not help unless you need to do something with them directly. Camera angles are very tomb raider style, i got lost in them somethings are hidden from view.

The Bottom Line
It's great, not for a total puzzle game beginner though. Pleasure to the eyes and ears, You need brains and finger dexterity.
