What's this game about anyways?


You are the Grim Reaper, and you get fired because your rival at work is getting more clients than you. So, you gotta look for new job opportunities.

Ha, your question gives me the perfect opportunity to post an excerpt from a 2008 VGC article about point&click adventure games written by Nick Pantazis (aka naznatips), who was the head writer for VGChartz back then and works for gamrReview today:

"... My very favorite Point-and-Click Adventure and one of my favorite games ever is Grim Fandango. Yes, once again it's a LucasArts game (remember when they made good games?). Grim Fandango is an incredibly unique adventure game developed by Tim Schafer (also created Psychonauts). Created in an ingenious film noire style, Grim Fandango tells the story of a travel agent of the underworld investigating why some souls are denied their proper passage to the after-life. Creative, funny, and brimming with art and style, Grim Fandango has earned its spot in history. Unfortunately, it's also historically noted as one of the main reasons LucasArts abandoned the Adventure genre. It was a massive commercial flop."

I couldn't describe it better.

Still beats playing generic sports games on your edgy console of choice Creativity FTW

You wouldn't say that about SSX3 if you had played it.

I love the world and characters of Grim Fandango, but dat gameplay.


I did play it, and it was hell of a lot fun. All in all the entire SSX series is incredibly enjoyable IMO I just wanted to point out that its easy to generalize and categorize other peoples enjoyment patterns and tastes, based simply on internet caricatures that are asociated with consoles and games.

Yes, point and click adventuresare not as reveared as they were in the 90's (but they start to pop up a whole lot more in the last 5 years), and the Vita might be dissapointment, sales wise, that doesnt mean that some of us cant have a whole lot of fun with them

Does somebody know if the Platinum trophy is hard? I never played Grim Fandango so I can not how difficult the trophys are... http://psnprofiles.com/trophies/3304-Grim-Fandango-Remastered
