    A really frustrating game, i found myself ripping my hair out when i died at the same spot numerous times. I know this is an old arcade game, so i will take that into accounting. I took me half an hour to play through the game, but many have spent a whole hour on it, but i just wanted to finish the thing. I could see this game me much better if there where some nostalgia involved, but notA really frustrating game, i found myself ripping my hair out when i died at the same spot numerous times.

    The controls where also extremely confusing at times.    … Expand

    I remembered jamming quarters into this game at the Arcade, when it came onto XBox gold free game My headed exploded. Great looking animation, playing without the arrow guide is intuitive and challenging. It was nice to finally beat it. It's the experience I had in the arcade. If you don't remember it or didn't enjoy it then, you won't enjoy it now.

    Though you might think Kinect would be the perfect fit for its staccato gameplay, it ultimately makes things even more frustrating. [Issue#87, p.87]

    Dragon's Lair is not the game you're looking for on Xbox Live. The controls don't work well and you don't need a lot of time to beat the entire game. So leave your sword where it is, because Dragon's Lair doesn't ever make you feel like a knight.
