A special hyper melee mode of game skips the adventure portion of the game and allows you to play in war game or strategy game fashion only. High resolution graphics are the order of the day. The puppets were filmed over blue or green screen and pasted into the backgrounds needed. The background sets were prepared by Steve Lebed. Yes, the sets are models, miniature models.
Animation is by full motion video of poorly animated and lip synched puppets.
Poor suspension of belief here. The voices of the audioanimatronic robots produced by a Hollywood puppet farm were perfored admirably with all the clicks, whistles and grunts that an alien can muster. Those responsible were Jeff Baker who did the Harika, Paul Skotarski who whizzed the Spathi, Bob Supan who voiced K'tang and Mycon, and Jaquiline Underwood who funked the Pkunk and sultried the Syreen. Each character has their own distinctive personality, appearance, ships, and worlds. Each species of the 24 has full speech for all responses in communication.
