![]() The most common causes of this issue are: Oh - and the remastered version is almost identical to the original - really no reason to buy it again if you bought the original.Your IP address has been temporarily blocked due to a large number of HTTP requests. This would be worthwhile if it was free but it worth paying for at any price in my opinion. It's just more of the same each time without increasing the fun factor. But worst of all, there is really no sense of reward when you do. Some of them are so obscure as to be virtually impossible to figure out logically. But my biggest BY FAR is the obtuseness of the puzzles. Using skeletons as a model doesn't allow for much variety and it all becomes monotonous visually after a very short while. The animation is okay I suppose but not really my cup of tea. The world is far from immersive, with only small clusters of explorable space available at any given time. But after playing this snoozer for several hours I can honestly say I don't see what the fuss is about. So I'm not a gamer who has no appreciation for older games like Grim Fandango. I grew up enjoying innovative (for their time) funny, challenging adventure games like the Leisure Suit Larry series, for example. This is why i'm giving Grim fandango a 10/10 There is just not a bad thing i can say about it. Overall, this game is simply a masterpiece on all fronts. I hear some things from others about the music being redone, and the aspect ratio changed, but for me non of that matters, for this is the only Grim Fandango experience i have played. Pairing that with tank controls make it a full retro experience. Some things i can talk about though is the enhanced textures, which can be changed to original by the push of a button. ![]() Remaster wise, I cannot speak too much for not playing the original. ![]() I actually played the game through a second time with tank controls, not for the trophy, but so i can play the game the way it was meant to be played. The default control is scheme is NOT tank controls, you must change this from the options screen. Now, i could complain about the counter-intuitive "tank controls", but even they got that right. ![]() A hefty challenge is what i like to see in a PAC game, which most new ones seem to lack. While some might complain about the immense difficulty that some of the puzzles boast, with the answers being extremely cryptic,but i don't mind at all. The gameplay is your standard point and click stuff: walk around, talk to people, pick up stuff, solve puzzles, it's all great fun. All the characters are well voice acted, and the dialogue is consistently funny. The story takes you to a variety of different locations, from the ocean-side town of Rubacava, to the very gates of the 9th underworld itself. Even background characters that you only share 2 or 3 lines with are interesting. The story in entrancing, keeping you locked in it's world of fantastic writing and original, developed characters. There is not anything bad i can really say about Grim Fandango. I can say now that i regret not getting Grim Fandango back in the day, for it is now in my top ten favorite games of all time. Now here we are, 2015, point and click now being a favored genre of mine, especially taking a liking in old ones. I just didn't think it seemed appealing, probably due to the point-and-click genre dying down at that point. Grim Fandango was a game i originally had no interest in in 1998.
