Should I buy Grim Fandango?

I've been hearing amzing reveiws from this game and many people call it a classic. I sadly never had the chance to play it (was in to counsel games back then) so I was wondering,

- Is this the classic everybody says?

- If so, will I enjoy it? (I have FEAR, CIV 4, Suprem comander and outher assorted goodies. never played an adventure 2D game.)

- Were can I buy it? (Really old game = not in stores:()

Please help me.

If you're not a fan of the adventure genre, or if the setting doesn't really appeal to you, you may not like it.

The game is very much story-focused - there's no 'action', just dialogue and puzzle solving - but it is definitely one of the best games in its genre. (The first year is a bit boring, but it greatly picks up after that)

Yes - it didn't beat Half-Life, Thief and Starcraft for Gamespot's 1998 GOTY for nothing! ;)

- If so, will I enjoy it? (I have FEAR, CIV 4, Suprem comander and outher assorted goodies. never played an adventure 2D game.)

If you live in Europe or Australia, most stores should stock it, as it was re-released in those places a few weeks ago. If not, you might be able to get it very cheaply through Amazon/Ebay - you shouldn't have to pay much more than bargain-bin prices, due to the re-release.
