Customer Reviews:

One of a kind game [Posted on 2007-11-07]
This is without a doubt one of the best games ever made - adventure or otherwise. It is fun, amusing, original, colorful, and challenging without being annoying. The only games that came close to it may be the Monkey Island series or The Last Express. The game is beautifully designed, with unforgettable characters, amazing landscapes, and reminds me of being inside a really well-written movie. Sadly, LucasArts stopped making games like this, a loss for the world.

VIVA LA REVOLUTION! [Posted on 2007-11-08]
This is the EPITOME of graphic adventures. No other game has even come close to GRIM FANTANGO when it comes to humor (of all shades and shapes), inventiveness, delicious irony, creative graphics and plain good-ol' FUN!!

This is a 10-year old game mind you - yet, it retains its freshness as any true work of art. THIS IS HOW COMPUTER GAMES SHOULD HAVE BEEN - and not the pathetic cookie-cutter products of mega-corporations working in-tandem with GX-card companies...

Your character (hilarious and lovable Manny Calavera) is already...dead when you start. In fact he has been dead for some time, stuck in limbo, trying to pay his way to a better afterlife by selling tickets to other souls on their way to paradise. Guess what: corruption is not limited just to this world. And where there is corruption, there is oppression; and where there is oppression, there is always a revolution brewing...

Realizing he is being duped, Manny reluctantly joins the afterlife underground and takes us in a tour de force of one of the MOST BEAUTIFUL GAME EVER PRODUCED. Immersing noirish atmosphere, detailed art-deco settings, fast Bogartian dialogs - with a subtle ironic frosting.

WARNING: There are known problems with today's faster processors. So, unless you have a really old system running Win98 you will need the WinXP PATCH (otherwise you will not get past the crane scene).

WITH THE HIGHEST RECOMMENDATIONS!!!

Instant Classic [Posted on 2007-11-23]
When I first played this game it was a demo back in 1998, and I was blown away.

I bought this game and played it on my good old Pentium 2 350 MHz and I just loved every minute of it!

I still to this day play it at least twice a year! its a shame that all of the Tim Shaffer games though are very, very, very good don't seem to sell well (Psychonauts is another great game).

One of the best! [Posted on 2007-12-28]
My son and i played this together when he was still a boy, and it was the most involving and most fun of all the adventure games we played together.And the graphics and small slice of latino life were fabulous, too. Highly recommended for preteens and parents to play together!

Still a good game after all these years [Posted on 2008-03-26]
This game is still great. The characters, the storyline, and the acting is exactly what I expected it to be coming from the days when LucasArts was GOOD. Overall, still a great game to play for those looking for an adventure game, but wants a good start.
