  • Bad controls

    I’m sure the story is great but it’s so difficult to get from scene to scene that I quit after about 30 minutes. Please add in indicators to move from room to room. Controls are difficult to maneuver as it is
  • Grim Fandango

    I hate to write a bad review about this game because I’ve loved it since back in the 90’s when I played it on my computer..
    I almost had it beat on my iPhone X and I was ready to rescue Meche from Domino in the cooler, I wasn’t able to zoom in on the tumblers.. “Hence I couldn’t rescue Meche and I’m stuck there”.
    I tried to find a way on the internet to send a message to Lucas Arts and let them know about it instead of complaining about it on here but I couldn’t..
    So I hope they fix it soon and I definitely recommend the game if they can fix this problem..

  • I loved it!

    I played this game on PC several years ago, so when I saw it had been remastered I downloaded it and played again. Thankfully I didn’t remember the solution so it was like playing it all over again. If you like puzzles and have the patience to solve them, this game will keep you entertained for hours. Some puzzles are really hard to solve and you will be few days stuck trying everything and still no able to solve them and it could be frustrating, but that’s part of the fun of playing these kind of games. The puzzles don’t need to be solved in order as someone stated in one of the comment, but in some cases you do need to complete something in order to move forward. If you like games that you advance quickly, this game is not for you. But if you enjoy using your brain, don’t get discouraged if it takes you 1 or 2 days to solve a puzzle, have patience to walk around, talk to everyone and try everything on each part, you will enjoy it. I read someone wrote you don’t have a cursor to check what you can click on, that’s not true. Just hold your finger on the screen and move it around and you will ‘activate’ the cursor and you will be able to see what things are interactive. I didn’t have any problems with sound or saving/loading the game. Hope Lucas Arts remasters other classic games like Monkey Island Saga, Sam & Max, Maniac Mansión, etc. Big fan of Lucas Arts old Adventure games here :)

  • Requires lots of storage

    It might be because I downloaded this on an iPod touch with literally no storage
    But tried to delete almost all the apps I don’t use
    And it didn’t work at all
    I’m not going to rate a 0 because the gameplay might be good but I don’t know that
    So anyone thinking of buying this on an iPod touch with no storage
    Either but storage

  • Fun!

    Sort of glitchy in places but can be overcome.
  • Black screen of death iPhone 8

    Got about ten minutes in, saved my game, and when I opened the app later, there was no sound. When I closed the app and opened it again, I got the black screen of death that other reviewers have mentioned. Nothing to do but uninstall the app. I love Double Fine and convinced myself it wouldn’t happen to me, but here we are. I’m using an iPhone 8, totally up to date as of November 2018.

  • So far, so Grim

    Grew up in the 80s but never played this one. Saw my bro play Day of the Tentacle and Full Throttle. After reading glowing reviews wanted to try this.

    First the story is humorous. Secondly I did not encounter any freezes on the mini iPad 4. Inventory worked, no bugs and I'm in year 4 and almost done. I found out double clicking makes you run. And if you hold your finger on the screen and drag- a circle cursor appears whenever there is an actionable item. Very helpful in knowing what you can do.

    And yes a walk through is essential and required. Going to be sad when I finish this game- it's been that interesting. Overall worth the $1 sale, feels like a steal really. Cheaper than a snickers bar. When this came out I use to buys snickers 5 for $1. How I miss those days...

  • Glitchy.

    Pretty glitchy. It gets stuck on the inventory screen and won’t let me exit. Also, I can’t pick the exit line of dialogue, it makes me go through all choices before stopping conversations. I loved this game on PC and was excited to play. This was disappointing. It was nice to see it again and hear Manny joke with the secretary though.

  • Great game

    This game is fun, and keeps your attention. I must say that it’s a little annoying that the screen freezes after pressing cancel in the item viewing area.
  • Interesting and well-made

    This game is very interesting as it has a great storyline from the start with the voice overs and not just that, but changing in the scenes being a game and having actions in Manny, the character you play. The interesting music is also played at moments which either puts suspense or matches the scene. There is an adventure you have to go through and some parts may be confusing as you actually have to figure out what to do next and the cut scenes are well-made. I would recommend this game to anyone who like not only action but adventure in a game as it has a different style than other normal video games with cool settings and a different never seen before plot line.
