Grim Fandango

[Hitti-Litti]

Have any of you played this amazing, greatly done adventure game? I'd like to hear your opinions of it too. I have played it through few times, but now I'm going to start it from the beginning, again.

Absolutely great game, and marvelous music.

Never heard of it. LINKY!

I think I'll pass, I'm not fond of skull faces.

I have it, but never got far.

To PrinceScamp: Skull faces don't matter. If you're interested in solving puzzles in an adventure game, this is for you. You can always load the demo.

To Chuckchi Husky: I have never gone through it without walkthrough. The game is an experience, the second year is the best.

Yes, i have played it, yes, it amazing and yes, the score is excellent!
I haven't finished it, though. The puzzles are quite tricky and i got stuck somewhere. In my opinion, it is one of the last great adventures, along with Discworld Noir.

Like I said in post 3, I have never got through it without walkthrough.

One of the best quotes:

Glottis: We will soar like eagles... ON POGO-STICKS!!!

I've heard nothing but good things about this game, but I have yet to try it for myself.

Best adventure game period. Yes its better than Monkey Island, Broken Sword, Gabriel Knight...
But most casual players turned it down due to the controls. What a shame. Soundtrack can be downloaded from here

Reminds me of a friend who hadn´t watched Das Boot because he didnt "see german movies". Go figure.

i've never played this game but what i've heard is the same as underseer

I tried it several years ago. I never got attached to it and didn't like it so much. Perhaps it's because I didn't have time and opportunity to actually play it. My opinions are based on the first impression.

Oh yes! This game is so incredibly good. It's actually the only adventure-game I finished without a walkthrough, but it still took two weeks of solid devotion.
And the best thing about this game is, without a doubt, the voice acting. It's so well done! Especially if your previous adventure game was "flight of the amazon queen" (freeware now) which has, undoubtly, the worst voice acting.

If you like adventure games, you must have played this one. The only negative point is, indeed, the controls, but you'll get the hang of it. Second-best adventure game, period. The best still is Indiana Jones & the Fate of Atlantis.

I enjoyed it, but I had to get a few clues from the internet. I think I'll have another go.

I was terrible at such games, though I do own it and Day of the Tentacle. I always feel guilty using walkthroughs, but if I give it another chance then I'll use them. One half of these LucasArts games is the story and humour
