Adventure Game of the Year

Percentage of Votes: 65.03%

"In almost every way Grim Fandango has proven itself to me as a breakthrough title. The graphics, sound, story are all incredible, the movies are amazing and I really can't find anything wrong with this game other than the somewhat annoying control system. Thankfully it is not as short as Full Throttle and it is definitely worth BUYING!"

"Graphics, sound, music and gameplay are the most important aspects and they were done very well. The atmosphere is unlike anything I have seen in an adventure game before (no, I did not find Phantasmagoria fun or scary) as it not only delves into human fear, but into the realm of insanity as well -- very cool. This game is perfect for anyone who enjoys adventure titles and doesn't mind adventuring in dark and unknown places. This reviewer loved it, and so should you. "-Jove

"This game has failed to make me feel disappointed in any way, except slightly for the fact that it requires 400 megabytes of hard disk space. All elements of this game have been incorporated to make this one of my year's favourite games. In a few words, this game is truly brilliant and anyone who thinks not, has had their brain fried by Quake or is on an illegal substance."-Jaguar
