The large cast of characters is unforgettable. Although for the most part they are skeletons in 40s garb, with mask-like faces that can be attributed to Day of the Dead festivities, their personalities render them as distinct and memorable as members of an extremely diverse cast from any fine film.

Hands down the best adventure game we've ever seen...You'll love Grim Fandango's incredible art, storyline and character development.

Quite possibly one of the top five adventures of all time, and certainly in the Top Ten. The style, atmosphere, wit, creativity and inventiveness are what makes Grim Fandango remarkable.

Grim Fandango es una obra de culto que mezcla humor negro, cine noir y la estética del Día de Muertos como ningún otro juego. Su historia es brillante, con personajes inolvidables (Manny Calavera es un ícono) y diálogos que siguen siendo ingeniosos incluso décadas después. La banda sonora de jazz y música latina es simplemente perfecta y eleva cada escena. ¿El único “pero”? Algunos puzzles pueden sentirse un poco enrevesados o anticuados hoy en día. Aun así, su narrativa, atmósfera y personalidad lo convierten en una experiencia única que todo amante de las aventuras gráficas debería jugar al menos una vez.

Sin duda un clásico, este juego es una obra maestra, me encanta. Sin duda el mejor juego de Aventuras Gráficas.
Sus personajes, temática e historia es lo mejor que hay.

grandissimo gioco che rimane nella storia come uno dei migliori puntae clicca mai realizzati. Divertente e sarcastico, bella storia e, per l'epoca, ottima grafica e giocabilità. Manny Calavera è uno dei **** più iconici del mondo dei videogiochi.

If the Academy Awards opened themselves to video games, Grim Fandango would be looking at a sweep. Best acting: Grim Fandango. Best script: Grim Fandango. Best cinematography: Grim Fandango. The game’s creators wouldn't have to leave the podium.

Everything in the game reeks of excellence. The characters are good, the story is intriguing and the Land of the Dead is a wonderful place.

I was too young to play this in 1998, but I did play it in 2020, and I have to be frank, this game is an absolute masterpiece. The story, the art direction, the voice acting, it's all so incredibly good! Obviously, the game itself and its mechanics are dated, but that doesn't matter at all. This is an absolute masterpiece, still, and I can wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone!

With this title Lucasarts has completely revolutionized the adventure game genre much like Sierra did when it invented the clickable mouse interface.
93
I particularly liked the consistent film noir theme (especially a bit of homage paid to "Casablanca" in Year Two).
91
A sure bet for the adventure crowd and anyone who appreciates a great story. [Jan 1999, p.186]

An extraordinary adventure game. With its great story, beautiful artwork and fabulous voice acting, you'll be missing out by not giving this game a whirl.

GF doesn't really go anywhere new so don't expect too many surprises in that field, where it does excel is in keeping to the tried and tested Lucasarts formula of comedy and logic combined to give you the most senseless fun you can imagine.

Sinceramente non ho giocato il gioco ma
ho visto la storia dato che alcuni ne parlavano bene mi ero incuriosito però purtroppo mi è sembrata molto semplice senza colpi di scena e non essendo un amante dei puzzle e della ambientazione che non fa per me mi ritrovo a dare questo voto

A very original game with great humour, but overly obtuse puzzles (normal for the genre) harm it from getting a higher score.

My truthful honorable incorruptible conclusive rating of this considered game: 6.

Me gustan mucho los diálogos, la historia es bastante divertida y en general, el problema es que muchas veces los puzzles son ilógicos y es prácticamente imposible completarlo sin guía

Mixed feelings. Story is kinda fun, and I loved some dialogs and scenes. On the other hand - some puzzles were really unlogic and I wouldn't finish it without walkthrough. Also steering should be improved.
