Lucasarts have done it again!

The Good
There is almost too much to say about this game so to summerize...

The graphics are well made, they have a unique mix of film noir and Mexican looks. The music fits the mood of the game, as it is a mix of Mexican and 40s and 50s styles. The characters are well designed and are well mixed, each one seems to have their own personallities. There is just too much to say since Lucasarts know how to make games.

The Bad
Because of the change from mouse control to keyboard, some devoted Lucasarts fans might get put off this and game. Also after you complete the game you wish you could get to know the characters so more.

The Bottom Line
A great game, that's all that needs to be said...Lucasarts have created another great game that is perfect for adventure gamers and normal gamers alike
