Grim Fandango

aka: Deeds of the Dead
Moby ID: 201

A nice long adventure game...too bad it's 3D

The Good
The game has a very original and interesting plot... The voice acting is really great...the game is also very funny in a dark, sarcastic kinda way...

The Bad
3D Killed the adventure game star.......that's all I have to say about 3D animations in adventure games...besides, the interface is not comfortable because you don't really know what objects you can interact with, although Manny is looking at the objects when he's passing by them... you don't really know what he's looking at... ( the problem with this interface was solved in Monkey Island 4, there LucasArts wrote at the bottom of each screen the objects and people you can interact with )

The Bottom Line
A funny and cool adventure game, if you don't mind the 3D graphics, you'll have a blast !!!
