Where is my damn Grim Fandango DS

[A Black Falcon]

FMV? Games like Grim aren't big because of FMV, they're big because of CG and voice... and yes, you can compress both and compression methods are getting better. But you can't avoid problems when you need ten times compression and it definitely wouldn't look, or sound, as good. Oh, it would be playable, but you can't say it would be exactly the same.

And anyway, as I said the DS isn't really suited for direct-control adventure games... it'd work much better with indirect-control ones like Curse of Monkey Island. Grim is best with an analog stick. (I played it on a D-Pad, but I remember that when I later got a analog-stick-equipped PC gamepad I noticed how much better Monkey Island 4 was with analog when compared to digital... no need to hold that run key! :))
