Advantages: excellent story, rofl,

Disadvantages: nothing else will be as good, it finishes :( I want it to keep going, I miss it. =(

Grim Fandango, set in the land of the dead provides us with one of the best adventure games ever.

Grim Fandango incorporates an excellent storyline, with laugh out loud humour, with characters that by the end you'll feel sorry to leave. A simply amazing combination that leaves the player desperate for more.

The game characters, rather than being the typical point and click are controlled by using the keyboard. This while for the majority of the game works well, there are several instances that it just causes total frustration.

Most of the problems in the game are not too difficult with only one or two exceptions that I can remember. There are many guides freely available on the net if you are getting stuck so this isn't really a problem.

Most people play adventure games for the challenge of the problems and to become involved in a good story. This games has this in aces. The storyline is outlined in several other reviews here but what I need to stress is that when you finish this game you will wish you hadn't. I finished this game three years ago and it still ranks amongst the best games I have ever played for sheer enjoyment. I simply fell in love with the characters and their world. The humour will have you laughing so much that other people living with you will wonder what you are doing.

I am jealous of anyone starting this game for the first time.

Summary: get this now.
