Dragon's lair games are essentially cartoons that you push buttons to watch. The whole game is a quick time event. From the point where the cartoon starts your job is to press buttons that correspond with the onscreen prompts. The longer you keep this going the more the movie will play without interruption. If you make a mistake you'll see a death animation typically of your character getting eaten or something and then you start from the last checkpoint. Checkpoints are plentiful but this is based on an arcade game so it's quite difficult. In short, it's a movie you push button to watch and isn't for everyone. Just know what you're getting into when you buy this.

It's a little buggy compared to the relatively stable PS3 port I'm used to, but I'm glad I am finally able to play this game again. It's definitely worth it when it goes on sale if you have a lot of nostalgia for this game. Hopefully one day ill be able to beat this without any input guide :3c

I told my mom about walten files episode 3 and she told me to play this game. I'm not really sure what the correlation is but the animation here is bangin

This game is a museum piece and I couldn't be more glad that it's widely available, that's the only reason that I'm giving the thumbs up sadly. There are so many problems with this game, I can't change the aspect ratio it would be great to have the 100% original footage, there are no video and audio options that I could find and the volume is too high at all times, I'm not sure if this is a thing for this re-release or it's from the original but I feel that the scenes get cut too short and I don't mean when you pass the QTEs, I mean the ending of many scenes where Dirk is leaving the room or something get cut short. The big one though is the menu, as I said there are no options to customise so the language of the game is from your PC (I guess) wich in my case would be Spanish, the menus don't work in Spanish, the text boxes were made for less text I wager and there are 'switches' in the new game menu that should say "on-off" well in spanish they say "Encendido-Salida" so it actually says "On-Exit" and since the words are way larger they overlap with the rest of the menu. Either way this is basically a Don Bluth short film and you HAVE to watch Don Bluth stuff if you're interested in animation.

Great classic that I would recommend picking up if you wished you could beat the arcade cabinet. If you are a fellow achievement hunter, beware that this games achievements are extremely hard to achieve as you have to work around some frustrating bugs for a chance to have them unlock.
