On the subject of dialogue, the voice acting was particularly great in fact I would say that it is better than most of the voice acting for the huge, multi-million dollar AAA games we see nowadays.
Overall I though the story was very good and even though I was attempting a quick play through using a guide, I found myself watching every cut scene and not skipping any dialogue. Manny and Glottis go on a four-year adventure to stop the crime boss and find his lost client. A crime boss int he Land of the Dead has been stealing tickets for the Number Nine train from their rightful owners and is trying to sell them to rich people who don’t deserve them. He ends up being your companion throughout most of the game and the some the interactions between Manny and Glottis are pretty funny.Īs the whole game is done in a film noir style, the main story revolves around a crime. One fo the characters you meet early on in the game is Glottis, a demon whose primary job is to drive and fix cars. Many the characters you meet are very interesting and there is a good dash of humour in the game as well. Like many adventure games of the time there is a lot of dialogue to go through with the different characters you meet in the game. During the four years Manny spends in the Land of the Dead he takes on a few roles, the travel agent, a casino owner and a ship’s captain. Grim Fandango is done in a film noir style and the main story revolves around Manny searching for a lost client and getting her to the Ninth Underworld.
With Manny angry at getting such low quality clients, he decides to steal a client from his colleague and that’s when the game kicks off good and proper. The game takes place across four acts (years) and sees Manny assuming different jobs during these four years. Many of Manny’s clients haven’t led such great lives when they where living and don’t qualify for express travel to the Ninth Underworld on the Number Nine train, a train which takes only four minutes to reach the Ninth Underworld and are forced to travel across the Land of the Dead on foot, a journey which takes four years. In Grim Fandango you play as Manuel ‘Manny’ Calevera a grim reaper style travel agent whose job is to arrange transport for recently deceased people from the Land of the Dead to the Ninth Underworld (the place of eternal rest.)
#GRIM FANDANGO REMASTERED GUIDE PLUS#
It’s always worth adding the free PS Plus games to your library even if you don’t think you’ll play them right away, you may want to play them later on.
I added it to my library way back then and only started playing it a week or so ago. Grim Fandango Remastered was free for PS Plus subscribers for the month of January 2016.
#GRIM FANDANGO REMASTERED GUIDE PS4#
The original Grim Fandango was released in 1998 by Lucas Arts and the remastered version was released for PS4 and other platforms in 2015. Oh well, I’ll need to do another play through.įairly easy platinum trophies aside, Grim Fandango Remastered is actually a really enjoyable game. I did switch at the very start of the game but I must have moved the character a bit before I switched and it didn’t count. To get the platinum in Grim Fandango remastered you have to switch from the camera-centric controls to the ‘Tank’ control scheme but you have to make sure you switch at the very start of the game, before you even move your character. I finished the game last night and sadly it turns out that I did not actually unlock the platinum trophy.
