madonessay Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 Hiyo! I first read a review for Grim Fandango in a magazine back in 1998. It piqued my interest but I didn't buy it (I was about 10 at the time, so I only bought the odd game). Anyways, ever since then, I've noticed this game mentioned time and time again in various places, but seeing as it's a good 7 years old, I haven't been able to find it in stores. Is it still available anywhere (legally)? Sounds like quite a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VampireNaomi Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 It's still available, but I guess it depends on where you're from. Try Ebay or Amazon. I don't know how many pounds one dollar is at the moment, but Amazon.co.uk seems to be a little cheaper than the US version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madonessay Posted January 21, 2006 Author Share Posted January 21, 2006 Yoy! thanks for that. seems a hell of alot cheaper on ebay. now, why didn't I think to look on ebay before.... hmm, while I'm at the whole asking questions about the game, how many hours does it take to complete (roughly)? Just so I know when to buy it to have the best uninterrupted set of days/weeks, as opposed to playing for a week, having to stop for a month, and interrupting the story enough for me to forget what was going on. Happens far too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrik Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 You know, I can't actually remember at all how long it took me to complete it the first time around. I mean, it was back in 1998. :~ I did, however, manage to track down a couple of quotes for you: it should take most a good two- to three-dozen hours Grim Fandango will take the average gamer between 40 and 50 hours to play As long as you don't be silly and use a walkthrough or something. It is indeed a fantastic game, and you would definitely be missing out a lot to have not played it considering the immense love it's gained from, well, everyone. Truly a classic. And it even ages reasonably well too, what with all the prerendered 3D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madonessay Posted January 22, 2006 Author Share Posted January 22, 2006 Oooh! that's a nice, long game. And, don't worry, I am not a walkthrough kinda guy. I should definitley get me a copy. I did notice from the screenshots I saw that it does still look quite nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
