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.

With its great story, beautiful artwork and fabulous voice acting, you'll be missing out by not giving this game a whirl. Graphics: The artwork and 3D rendering is absolutely gorgeous. Each character looks different and has an overall cartoonish look that works well. Sound: Because of a nice, laid back jazzy soundtrack and fabulous voice acting, the sound is superb.

Patch If you are having problems with Grim Fandango crashing, you should try out this patch. Or even if your game isn't crashing, you should still download it, as it is a vital patch released by LucasArts.
This patch fixes reported problems associated with having a very fast machine Pentium II and faster , a crash associated with copying over all the. Sure, you can pound the streets in your jogging bottoms; you can subsist on a diet of Yakult.
Bran Flakes and organic celery; you can visit every homeopathic, aromatherapeutic. Whatever starry-eyed worldly ambitions you might be nurturing, your ultimate destiny is to lie underground in an overpriced wooden casket, your eye sockets filled to the brim with squirming maggots, their little wormy gobs crammed to bursting point as they gorge nonchalantly on your putrefied flesh.
The reason for all this grim chit-chat? It's their latest entry in a long line of distinguished graphic adventures which have included such classics as 5am And Max, Day Of The Tentacle, and their recent dick-buster The Curse Of Monkey Island. The brainchild of Full Throttle creator Tim Schafer. Grim Fandango looks set to be somewhat darker than previous happy-go-lucky adventures.
Which isn't to say it's a frown-a-minute exercise in morbid contemplation; it's all a bit quirkier than that. Think of the tone that runs through Tim Burton's Nightmare Before Christmas and you're bang on track. You take command of Manny Calavera. Manny's job is to take people from the Land of the Living to the Land of the Dead, via a four-year package holiday through the shadowy underworld. As the game begins, Manny finds himself falling victim to a convoluted embezzlement plot which prevents him from getting hold of the correct corpses.
In desperation, he steals a living human, jeopardising not only his career but also the fate of his own soul. Inspired by classic '50s film noir and ancient Mexican mythology, and spanning a four-year time scale, Grim Fandango certainly sounds like it could be the deepest LucasArts game yet. It's certainly the most visually ambitious, being their first graphic adventure to use 3D characters and locations.
No, not Chatham: this is a vibrantly coloured otherworld, inspired by Mexican folklore. You, mister player sir, don the guise of Manny Calavera, a downtrodden travel agent who sells package holidays to the recently deceased. Manny's dream is to leave the Land of the Dead and graduate to the infinitely superior Land of Eternal Rest which, as the name suggests, is basically one gigantic doss , but in order to do this, he must first deliver a prerequisite number of truly top-notch customers - those who've lived downright saintly lives on Earth.
Trouble is, a rival agent seems to be stealing all the best 'leads' Head honcho Tim Schaffer has been quoted as saying the ensuing storyline is "kind of a road-trip story and a buddy film, and it's also a femme fatale Double Indemnity-type deal with a little City of Lost Children thrown in, and Chinatown and Casablanca and The Big Sleep. Not exactly conventional is it? And a good thing too: there's far too much bland pap in the marketplace already.
This, on the other hand, is something that you can really get your teeth into. As if to underline the project's unique flavour, LucasArts have also opted for a distinctive, highly stylised visual feel.
The majority of the characters are skeletons, with bold, simple features, while their home world is as brightly coloured as the famous Mexican 'Day of the Dead' festivals upon which it is based.
