This was definitely the best game I have ever played! The music was great for the locations, the voices were great, and the game was sad, funny, and entertaining. I would give this ten stars if I could!
the best adventure game yet

This game has an exellent story line and is very fun to play, although a few puzzles are TOO challenging and it gets frusterating. I also like its uniqe graphics. So, BUY IT!

The grpahics and story are OK. But, the puzzles are
so stupid, I regret purchasing this game. Luckily,
it only cost 10 bucks. I will finsh this game by
following the game guides found online (without wasting
my time trying to figure them out) just so I can see what
happens in the story. For example, at one point, you have
to get some bones and throw them into a tar pit so that
these flaming rodents will jump in after them. I figured
this out on my own. However, what I didn't figure out was that
I had to do this over and over again until all the rodents were
destroyed (a total of 4 times). I had to read the game guide to
find out I didn't do it enough times. There are even worse
examples of mindless stupidity, but harder to explain here.
I was very disappointed after reading the other reviews
here and anticipating some fun puzzles that are integrated
into the story. Bottom line- in my opinion, not worth the
10 bucks.
Outstanding

Everyone should own this game. It's clever, funny, original, stylish ... a LucasArts masterpiece.

LucasArts; GRIM FANDANGO; Adventure;(o)(o)(o)(o)(o) disc rating;
The best game of 1996 is here for you to own. You are a grim reaperish looking, insurance guy in the "Land of the Dead." This is a highly amusing game for anyone to play. Grim Fandango combines humor\adventure\puzzles\and amazing level design. You should keep this in your collection for as long as you continue to draw breath, and then give it to a family member in your will.
ALSO RECOMENDED: Sam & Max: Hit The Road (HOT!)
Sam & Max: Freelance Police (HOT!)
Monkey Island 1-4 (HOT!)
Full Throttle
Full Throttle: Hell On Wheels
Sorry, I just don't get it

Yes, it looks great, but MY GOD, what a convoluted and complicated storyline! I quit after I heard the ridiculously-long list of things I had to do to get on the boat! As soon as I ran away, I completely forgot what I was supposed to be doing, and then realized...I DIDN'T CARE.
I didn't think Monkey Island was that great either, though, so take that into consideration. And ANYONE who says they can do these type of games in one day or without a walkthrough IS LYING.

I was having a great time with this title, but it got stuck more then once. The game would not proceed at certain points in the adventure and it frustrated me to the point of giving up.
I didn't like the game:believe it or not

the game's okay, although i don't think making the charactersin 3d was a very good idea, plus at some points game gets outrightboring,and all the main characters smoke... although the game will crash sometimes, and it might get stuck, overall, the game is pretty much okay if you don't count crashes and how the characters act and look... END
it was realy cool
