Grim Fandango

I've been a bit off on adventure games for a while. Havn't really played one in a while other than the big console games like LA Noire.

So New year, new leaf and a desire to remind myself why I love these games.

So I cranked out the box for this classic and busted it out.

In total it took about 6 hours to play it through, but it is 6 hours of superb fun. Glottis is one of the best characters in video game history and the setting reeks of atmosphere and laughs.

It's not a perfect game, the controls are a problem, and the game never regains the heights that year 2 provides, but overall I would probably put this in the top 5 adventure games of all time and probably in my all time top 10 games of any genre.

Vive La Revolution.

5/5
