I completed Grim way way way back when.

Its an awesome game and the story really does pick up after the first chapter or so. Once you get used to the control system for Manny, its great fun. As with all adventure games there are a few puzzles that will make you tear your hair out with frustration, but they are logical enough to be solved eventually.

Definitely give it a go- the finale is brilliant.

Kaben Thumbs Up

True, I suppose I could get it on ebay. Just would rather buy in the shop. Thanks anyway, will probably do that.

I completed it yesterday for about the third time.

Its very very good. As good as any of the monkey island games.

How far have you got?

The only annoying thing in the game is the phrase "My Scythe. I used to keep it where my heart used to be."

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

not /that/ far, so long ago i cant remember the exact place, but i had no idea how to progress any further so gave up

once you look at a walkthrough for those type of games, it totally ruins it
