The Remastered version features a better model quality, dynamic lighting, re-recorded musics and fantastic commentary all over the game!
   I wish they could have done the game 16:9 just like CAPCOM did with Resident Evil HD but still, the game is really awesome and makes u forget about these sort of things !
   this issue only bothers mostly in PS VITA version due to the small screen actually.
   I thikn Grim Fandango re-release is a really nice work! hope to see more Remastered classic adventures on ps4… Expand

I just didn't think it seemed appealing, probably due to the point-and-click genre dying down at that point. Now here we are, 2015, point and click now being a favored genre of mine, especially taking a liking in old ones. 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.
   
   There is not anything bad i can really say about Grim Fandango. The story in entrancing, keeping you locked in it's world of fantastic writing and original, developed characters. Even background characters that you only share 2 or 3 lines with are interesting. 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. All the characters are well voice acted, and the dialogue is consistently funny.
   
   The gameplay is your standard point and click stuff: walk around, talk to people, pick up stuff, solve puzzles, it's all great fun. 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. A hefty challenge is what i like to see in a PAC game, which most new ones seem to lack. Now, i could complain about the counter-intuitive "tank controls", but even they got that right. The default control is scheme is NOT tank controls, you must change this from the options screen. I cannot tell you how great that is. 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.
   
   Remaster wise, I cannot speak too much for not playing the original. Some things i can talk about though is the enhanced textures, which can be changed to original by the push of a button. Pairing that with tank controls make it a full retro experience. 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.
   
   Overall, this game is simply a masterpiece on all fronts. There is just not a bad thing i can say about it. This is why i'm giving Grim fandango a 10/10… Expand

The game hits hiccups with moronic puzzles that give no guidance and are just here to make the game seem more genius then it actually is. I understand the fact that some games don't want to hold your hand through, but this game gives bar non hints and is just basically boring and tedious. When games are more confusing than my math homework, I pass.… Expand

Klar, dass im Zuge des HD-Remake-Wahns auch Double Fine nachlegt und mit Grim Fandango Remastered eine aufgepeppte Version für PC und PS4 veröffentlicht. Gut gealtert ist der Knobel-Klassiker aber nur bedingt: Während das kürzlich erschienene Remastered von Resident Evil seine vorgerenderten Hintergründe mit zahlreichen Effekten auflockert, wirkt das LucasArts-Adventure seltsam starr. Dafür gefallen die butterweiche Steuerung via Controller und der neu aufgenommene Soundtrack. Wer Grim Fandango nie gespielt hat, greift ob der immer noch hohen Qualität unbedingt zu, alle anderen sparen sich das Geld.… Expand
