My mom bought this game a long time ago and I like playing it. The graphics are excellent, the characters are great, and the storyline is excellent. I really like playing this game and I also like trying to solve the puzzles in this game. If you don't have Grim Fandango, get it because it's that good.
Adventure lives on.

Not a whole lot to say except that as far as adventure games go, this is the standard that all others should try to exceed.
Outstanding voice acting and scripting. Hilarious game without making fun of itself. Tough but logical puzzles that will have you scratching your head. Beautiful and ORIGINAL storyline, movie material right here.
This is what adventure gaming was fated for.
As much fun to watch as it is to play

First, you have to understand that I do not generally enjoy, at all, this sort of wander around, solve the puzzle sort of game. But in watching my son play, I was hooked. The designers have created a great blend of the familiar and the unexpected. Heck, you just don't see film noir aztec/art deco adventures in the land of the dead all that often. Superior story, fun soundtrack, and visuals that are every bit as engaging (in their own loopy way) as Riven all contribute to a game that is...well, here's the kicker for me. My son has long-since worked through the whole game, but he still gets it out regularly, pops it in, and "watches" it just like any of his favorite movies.
