i LOVED this game. i remember trying to imitate that clarinet part from the background music here for a while... i never got the notes quite right, but it was worth a try. :-P
joffe88, two characters in the game's second act are directly modeled after the roles played by Peter Lorre and Claude Rains in the film. The main villain, Hector LeMans, was designed to resemble Sydney Greenstreet's character of Signor Ferrari from Casablanca.
This very moment, I am playing Grim Fandango for the first time, and am in the casino after talking with Glottis as he played a relaxing tune on the piano. I've read a decent amount about this game before actually installing it tonight -- already, I'm amazed.
grim fandango ownz :D the best game ever,, grim fandango and the legend of zelda ocarina of time are the best games ever :) i have just one question,wich game are best?? grim fandango or sam and max?
Damn, I gotta replay this game sometime. I think I was too young back then to actually understand much of the dialogue, not to mention understanding all the references to film noir movies. :)
This level reminds me of Casablanca!! As if the creators wanted to pay tribute to the movie!!!The suit itself ,is a homage to Bogart!!!

It's REALLY getting to me that Bogen wasn't voiced by Mark Hamill. Because that sounds EXACTLY like him, doing his Joker voice.
But damn this game! <3 The chat with Charlie was one of my favorites!

Classic Lucasarts that feels like Telltale ^_^

Explain. This feels like Lucas Arts through and through, and is a good 20-30 hours long (as opposed to the 2-4 hours of a Telltale game).

The game itself is as cinematic as it gets.
Also: You should check Vexation's Grim Fandango videos on Vimeo. The game is already a movie.
