Overall the gameplay was enjoyable, even using the Tank controls. Like one where you have to move a wheel barrow over some pipes to synchronise 4 pistons or one where you have to align 4 lock tumblers, they sound simple but are actually kind of tough. Grim Fandango features some tricky puzzlesĪs well as the usual talking to people, picking items up and using them on other things type of gameplay Grim Fandango also has a few tricky and at times frustrating puzzles you have to solve. If you’re not going for the platinum though you can use the normal camera-scentric controls which make moving much easier. The Tank controls do make moving around and interacting with things a bit trickier but you soon get used to them. You have to move Manny between different areas, pick up and use items correctly and interact with various characters in order to progress through the game.Īs I mentioned earlier in the article, you have to use the Tank-style controls to be able to unlock the platinum trophy. The gameplay is Grim Fandango is much like other adventure games. On the subject of dialogue, the voice acting was particularly great in fact I would say that it is better than most of the voice acting for the huge, multi-million dollar AAA games we see nowadays. Overall I though the story was very good and even though I was attempting a quick play through using a guide, I found myself watching every cut scene and not skipping any dialogue. Manny and Glottis go on a four-year adventure to stop the crime boss and find his lost client. A crime boss int he Land of the Dead has been stealing tickets for the Number Nine train from their rightful owners and is trying to sell them to rich people who don’t deserve them. He ends up being your companion throughout most of the game and the some the interactions between Manny and Glottis are pretty funny.Īs the whole game is done in a film noir style, the main story revolves around a crime. One fo the characters you meet early on in the game is Glottis, a demon whose primary job is to drive and fix cars. Many the characters you meet are very interesting and there is a good dash of humour in the game as well. Like many adventure games of the time there is a lot of dialogue to go through with the different characters you meet in the game. During the four years Manny spends in the Land of the Dead he takes on a few roles, the travel agent, a casino owner and a ship’s captain. Grim Fandango is done in a film noir style and the main story revolves around Manny searching for a lost client and getting her to the Ninth Underworld. With Manny angry at getting such low quality clients, he decides to steal a client from his colleague and that’s when the game kicks off good and proper.
