What Grimm is
Grimm is an adventure game developed by Spicy Horse Games and released in 2008. It was published by GameTap Entertainment. It is available on PlayStation 3 and PC (Microsoft Windows). It runs on Unreal Engine 3.
The premise, in the publisher's words
Once upon a time, fairy tales were valuable cautionary yarns filled with dire warnings and sage advice. However, over time, the stories have become so watered down with cute woodland creatures and happy endings that they have lost their true meaning and purpose. No more! This is American McGee's Grimm, and Happily Ever After ends now!
How it plays
Its themes are action and fantasy. It is a single-player game with no multiplayer component.
How it was received
Grimm holds a critic score of 60 out of 100. That places it above 15% of the 7,525 rated adventure games in our database, which average 72. Games released in 2008 averaged 65, so it scored 5 points below the year average.
How long it takes, and what that costs
The main story runs about 20 hrs. Completing everything takes closer to 30 hrs, roughly 1.5 times the length of the critical path.
What you need to run it
The minimum specification calls for 2.4 GHz Single Core Pentium Processor, 512 MB RAM and Nvidia 6200+ or equivalent video card with 128MB Video RAM. At 1GB of RAM, it will run on essentially any working PC — that is below what a budget laptop ships with today. Install size is roughly 1GB. Both tiers are compared side by side on the requirements page, and you can check your own parts against them without installing anything.
What it launched against
Grimm launched on 31 July 2008, within three weeks of Braid, Persona 4, Street Fighter IV and Rhythm Heaven. All of them reviewed better.
Released around the same time: Braid, Persona 4, Street Fighter IV, Rhythm Heaven.
