A great game that is, even in these days, a pleasure to play.

I really enjoyed this game back when I got a copy of it in 1999. The puzzles were really engaging and fun to do, and the difficulty level was just right. The story was great, but I never finished it because of the infamous crane glitch. But when I found a video card that seemed to work last year, I played it through, and even now it is a great story.

The sound effects and music are fantastic, and really draw you in. It is the kind of music you would rip from the CD and play for its own sake. The graphics are obviously old by todays standards, but it doesn't distract from the game, and the characters being Calaca skeletons helps look past that. The game-play is straightforward, with only some minor issues with elevators and some doorways. The value is almost timeless, you will enjoy the story no matter what time you live in. The tilt is very good, you always have the excitement feel of a good movie.

Speaking of movies, it really does play and feel like one. There are plenty of twists and turns, and a lot of surprises to happen. And the scenery is always worth a closer look, adding to replay value.

Overall a fantastic game, well worth playing today.
