The animation of the characters is absolutely darling. I particularly loved they way the younger characters stand twisting their toes against the ground and the fluid flight of the dragons throughout the game. The developers have managed to keep the feel of Playmobil toys, while bringing them to life. While the characters are great, the backdrops in the game are more on the mediocre side. The textures are fairly detailed, but the 3D modeling of the world isn t up to the quality of the rest of the game.
Most areas are simple polygons with the backdrops painted on the walls.
While this works inside the castles and other buildings, the outdoor areas look odd. The edges of the forested areas are simply huge walls with trees painted on them. Audio Most of the audio in the game is the voices of the characters and they are very well done. From the children you meet in town to the rich voice of the dragon all the actors are easily understood, entertaining, and each fits the on-screen character they portray. The effects are also well done and combined with the music they add a feeling of pageantry to the game.
