(Which is what a lot of people who aren't steeped in the adventure genre don't quite get.) This game is about the Land of the Dead. Playing Grim Fandango isn't about the jaw dropping graphics, or the smooth textures, or the latest in whiz-bang technology. You'll be rewarded with the texture, style, and nuance of a finely crafted masterpiece. But.if you're in the second category, and you haven't played this yet? Then why, oh why, in the name of all things holy or not, are you even bothering to read this review? Get on your favorite platform, and get this ASAP. They don't seem to make 100% logical sense, and the game certainly isn't going to highlight the puzzle piece with a glowing exclamation point, or halo to let you know what you've missed. (Much in the same way that Animal Farm is much more than just a story about talking animals running amok.) Some of the puzzles are just.odd. The game is about the sum of the parts being greater than an equal to the whole. If you're in category #1? Avoid this game at all costs. The "reading between the lines" of the morals, and themes of the story itself. 2.) Those who want to explore the nuances of the game. 1.)

Did already make the connection with the ticket printer, followed the false lead to input 06 race 06 week, and cycled thorugh all the days, because I had no idea whatsoever that any of the other information pieces are hidden on the track.
