Other developments are afoot that will clearly make Grim Fandango a fresh and invigorating experience. The storyline covers a period of four years and features approximately half as many again locations than Monkey 3 so there's every indication that we're not in for another 'finished in five-hour' Full Throttle experience. The characters themselves will evolve as the game progresses and thanks to the graphical mix of 3D and 2D the artists will be able to synchronise limb and head movements with animated face textures for more even greater realism.
Thanks to the miracle of 3D technology the game uses a re-worked 3D engine borrowed from Outlaws and Jedi Knight and features a movable camera to transport you right into the heart of the rich and densely populated gaming environment.
Although the interface is still being worked on, early versions of the game have used the cursor keys to control Manny, which would be another major innovation in terms of adventure gaming, though Tim is keen to point out that nothing has been decided yet: "Tricky interfaces sometimes alienate people from playing adventure games.
There's no reason why they have to be slow and tedious to play - you just have to look outside the genre for inspiration. So far the numbers are impressive: 90 locations, over 50 characters, 80 puzzles, 30 cut-scenes, 7, lines of dialogue All this innovation comes at a price though, and LucasArts have hinted that unless you've got a pretty high spec.
PC, you won't be able to play. That said, LucasArts were never afraid of pushing the envelope, that's why they're at the forefront of adventure gaming. Let's wait and see what they come up with this time - from what we've been privy to so far, we at Zone are sure it'll be worth the wait. Since then it's been tweaked, overhauled, and generally tinkered about with, but has still provided the skeleton for every one of LucasArts' long line of maximum-quality 2D adventure games.
But not Grim Fandango. The leap into three dimensions has necessitated the creation of an entirely new system, which maintains many of the basic SCUMM principles, but also introduces many startling changes. For starters, there's the interface - or rather, the lack of one. As the years have passed, each subsequent LucasArts adventure has tried to lessen the intrusion of the point-and-dick interface - what started out as an 'action bar' taking up half the screen in Maniac Mansion eventually mutated into a pop-up coin' interface for last year's Curse of Monkey Island.
Taking this to its logical extreme, Grim Fandango has no need for cursors whatsoever. Instead, the interface and the lead character are one and the same. Sounds confusing? Not really - it's actually more logical. In the 2D adventures, you'd notice a 'hot' object ie one you could interact with when you moved the cursor over it. In Grim Fandango, Manny Calavera the hero will bring such items to your attention simply by turning his head to look at them.
In the 2D adventures, to make a character move from one side of the room to the other, you had to click on the position you wanted them to move to. In Grim Fandango you have direct control of Manny. You make him walk there yourself. If you think that sounds a bit like the adventure gaming equivalent of Mario 64, you'd be right. The idea is to make interaction with the storyline as seamlessly absorbing as possible - or as project leader Tim Schaffer puts it: "There's nothing slapping you in the face, reminding you that you're playing a game.
Tres cool. Some gamers may be burnt out on point-and-click adventure games, but Grim Fandango promises to breathe new life into the genre--even though all its characters are dead! As Manny, travel agent to the Eighth Underworld, you become aware of a plot to dupe heaven-bound Land of the Dead citizens of their passes to paradise.
The resistance movement taps you to get to the bottom of things. Grim Fandango offers clever point-and-click adventure gaming of the highest order with in-game graphics that feel like cut scenes, an energetic jazz score, and well-performed dialogue. The plot is equally entertaining, as you play Manny, a grimacing reaper who sells travel packages for the afterlife. This lush, compelling puzzler also puts the entire interface right at your fingertips with Fandangos excellent game-pad support, though Manny has trouble negotiating through areas like doorways.

There is humor in the game: sometimes black, sometimes just funny. Grim Fandango Remastered screenshots:. Size: 1. Layers of Fear VR. Bridge Constructor Portal. Using the arrow keys, you move Manny around the rendered scenes in which he can look, run or pick up items. Instead of an interface driven by hotspots, your character's head moves in a looking fashion when you're near an item to be used or obtained.
This is a really nice feature that works great. Unfortunately, it is also in the interface where Grim Fandango has most of its technical glitches. For instance, Manny gets turned around sometimes while running or walking around. At times, it looks like you can go certain places but you really can't.
Another problem is that the elevators never seem to work right. Half the time, you cannot just walk in the elevator as it makes you push the action button to do so. After doing this, he may start walking back and forth in place, instead of entering the elevator. Instead of being presented with a box or a full-screen bag of your inventory, you can only see one item at a time. The inventory is located in Manny's jacket and he can only pull items out one at a time. Apart from these few trifles, Grim Fandango is an extraordinary adventure game.
With its great story, beautiful artwork and fabulous voice acting, you'll be missing out by not giving this game a whirl.
