    The quality of animation seen here is unheard of in modern gaming – or many contemporary films, for that matter.
  2. Game Chronicles

    Adults and kids alike won’t be able to resists the mesmerizing visuals and the memorizing gameplay.

    If you want to reclaim some precious nostalgia from your past, in High Def, then this is the definitive version of Dragon’s Lair...bar none.

    Dragon’s Lair HD is not likely to appeal to anyone who is not already a lifelong aficionado of the game.
  5. GamesRadar+

    It's killer as nostalgia, somewhat crap as a game, and the surprising $50 price will put it out of the minds of all but the most passionate collectors.

    If you want to play the game, there are far cheaper ways to do it and in terms of comparison, they aren't all that bad. Dragon's Lair HD could have been something special, something truly nostalgic, but walks away as nothing more than a shameless cash in.
  7. PC Format

    It looks lovely, but plays like an out-of-tune banjo, thanks to the notorious trial-and-error gameplay. [Sept 2006, p.104]

    The first video game I played. I was an 8 or 9 year old child when my father gave me this game for our Windows 98 system. Isn´t necessaryThe first video game I played. I was an 8 or 9 year old child when my father gave me this game for our Windows 98 system. Isn´t necessary being an expert to enjoy the adventures of Dirk the knight because the idea of the game was created for any kind of player. The entire game is a cartoon movie where you have to control the hero's actions while watching it. It's a big challenge because some parts require memorizing button patterns if you want the protagonist to escape unscathed from some absurd situations (in my case at the begining dungeons). I wish they would make games like this today, but it's an artistic miracle that happens once every thousand years... Fortunately, there are compilations and remastered version for PC to enjoy it over and over. The second game of Dragon´s Lair called "Time Warp" is my favourite of the saga. How many hours I´ve spend playing it...?… Expand
