This review is from: Grim Fandango (CD-ROM)

For those of you out there who love the point and click games (nostalgia) Get Grim Fandango. This was a Lucasarts masterpiece game. Get it if you love classic games and don't worry, it's in 3D with a great story, moving and lovable characters, and, don't tell anyone this, but at the end I cried. I swear it. So if you remember games like Day of the Tentacle, or the oldschool Indiana Jones point and click game, or even Full Throttle. Especially Monkey Island. If you love and remember those games then buy Grim Fandango. You won't regret it I promise you.

Graphics: 4 stars - For it's time the graphics were top notch and you can even appreciate them today with the style they work with.

Story: 5 stars - It's a moving story of one characters travels through the land of the dead to reach the afterlife. He is working at a Grim Reaper, hence Grim in Grim Fandango, company where he picks up dead souls and, depending on how good they were during their life, they receive points and can buy a ticket for either the train to the afterlife, a car, or some other forms of transportation. The Train is the one everyone wants because it takes you to the afterlife the quickest. The main character discovers a plot that is screwing up the system with who gets what form of transportation and such so he investigates. He meets a variety of characters on his odyssey and you'll get attached to them. Ok that's enough talking

Sound: 5 stars - The musical score for the game is incredibly well done and implemented. Ever song works perfectly with each scene in the game and you can truly appreciate the music and hard work that was put into making the game.

Overall it's a must buy.

So go buy it

PS. I got it from Amazon as well if that makes you feel more confident on your purchase.
