Grim Fandango has (almost) everything going for it, it is a funny game that is well written and has good actors. The art direction is fantastic and the whole package in general is very attractive and very creative. Why isn't it a 10? Well, the puzzles are horribly counterintuitive, they feel totally random. If I have to limit myself to following a guide step by step so that the story progresses... I might as well just watch a full gameplay on YouTube.
