Grim Fandango is this week’s game that has been ported on Wii in honor of its recent tenth anniversary. It was the last truly great adventure game from the company Lucasarts.
The plot of Grim Fandango unfolds during the Day of the Dead across a span of four years where the main protagonist Manny Calavera is utterly devoted to finding Mercedes Colomar. The game’s narrative is strong enough, showing how much better life gets after death. The game could be carried alone but the presentation is exactly what holds back this all-time classic. As Manny explores the Land of the Dead, the soundtrack mixes with the melancholy jazz and the tunes meld perfectly artistic decorations. The game requires keen eyes to play and the little minor faults can be overlooked, cleaned and polished once it is on the Wii port and we can further look forward to getting the Wiimote on Grim Fandango.
