 The review from Adventure Gamers expressed dislike of the soundtrack, and, at times, "found it too heavy and not well suited to the game's theme".A "Computer and Video Games" review also noted that the game had continuous and long data loading from the CD-ROM that interrupted the game and "spoils the fluidity of some sequences and causes niggling delays".In 1999, "Next Generation" listed "Grim Fandango" as number 26 on their "Top 50 Games of All Time", commenting that, ""Grim" offered adventure fans funny, touching, and infuriating moments in following its characters, and it did so through a magnificently beautiful game."
