Each character has his or her own mannerisms that are amplified by superb voice acting. This is due in part to the fabulous script and dialog heard and witnessed in the game. The plot will immerse you for days and is thoroughly enjoyable and interesting from beginning to end. The highpoints of the game, though, focus on the incredible storyline, puzzles and dialog. Each one, whether a skeleton or a huge, demon-like monster, has a cartoonish look which works incredibly well. Unlike LucasArts' games in the past which featured 2D sprite based characters, Grim Fandango features fully animated 3D polygonal characters.
Reminiscent of titles such as Alone in the Dark or Resident Evil, each scene has a preset camera angle in which to move your character. You'll travel from your office at the Department of the Dead to beautiful forests and city scenes. The environments are captured in such a way that you really begin to feel like you're in Manny's shoes. The 3D rendering and characters really shine as each place you visit is beautifully presented and the artwork is magnificent. This new direction the genre has taken proves to work out very well with Grim Fandango, easily one of LucasArts best productions. In the past, their games have been simple mouse based point-and-click entries with hand drawn backgrounds and 2D characters. What LucasArts tried to do with Grim Fandango was expand on the company's extensive collection of graphic adventure games by taking it to the next dimension, 3D.
