These backgrounds are absolutely gorgeous. Combined with the detailed characters, the graphics in Silver shine as a testament to the continued viability of 3D characters against 2D backgrounds. Using pre-rendered backgrounds also allows the game to use some innovative camera positions. The hand-drawn teasers between levels are simply stunning. To complement the cinema-quality visuals, Infogrames produced possibly the best audio ever in a console game.
Classical music provides a suitable accompaniment to the quest.
At first I couldn't hear the dialogue because the music was drowning it out. The dialogue is also delivered well, for the most part. Most of the time the actors deliver their lines on par with a Disney movie. At times they slip into the tragedy that is video game acting, but for the most part the voices are excellent. Even with the aforementioned cutesy characters, the threats come across with appropriate menace, thanks to some great writing.
