Grim Fandango

The Good
No other adventure game, with the exception of Gabriel Knight: Beast Within, even comes close to the wonderful writing of Grim Fandango. This script would play fantastically as a movie. The voice acting is leaps and bounds above your normal video game quality.

Location designs are breath-taking. Interesting perspectives and area layouts make for always-engaging exploration.

The puzzles in this game are also a credit to the designers. Every puzzle has a place in moving the plot. Gamers never have to endure the endless key and lock searches that other games depend on.

The Bad
Some odd clipping problems are noticeable. The controls, especially when entering elevators, are a little annoying.

The Bottom Line
A must-play for any true adventure game fan.
