What our customer's say!

"PS3 Hit and Miss", I have to say, the problems people state about playing it on their PS3 are valid. But it seems to be a hit and miss problem. I played this on my father's PS3 and it had that problem of hitting a particular scene and then freezing. I brought it home and played it on my own PS3 and it worked smoothly with not so much as a long pause between loading chapters. But hit and miss notwithstanding, the fact that this glitch appears on any of the PS3's (which by all rights should be playing it better than any stand alone player with all it's updating abilities) necessarily causes me to drop the star rating.

The other thing is that, whether you play it on Arcade or Home mode, it skips randomly around the scenes every time you die. Granted, once you've gone through all of them once, it will play the ones you died on in order until you pass them. But just the fact that it has the randomness, no matter what setting you put it on, to begin with just ruins the flow of the game and makes it really irksome until you get to the point where you're actually playing the game.

That said, once you get around to playing the game proper, and once you find a system that it works well on, this is a pretty fun game. I never got a chance to play it in the arcades back in the day. But being able to play it now shows how innovative this was at the time. Instead of controlling digital sprites, you (not so much as control as influence) fully animated cartoon characters. While the guessing and timing of when to press what button when can get aggravating at times, it's also rewarding when you finally figure it out.

Also, the graphics are amazing. There's a little featurette that compares the graphics of several versions (including the laserdisc and DVD versions). This is clearly the most polished this game has ever been.

So to break it all down, great game, awesome graphics, great transfer...when it works. That's the biggest strike. It simply doesn't work dependably. You may have a PS3 or other Blu Ray player that it works fine on. You might get it and find that it's glitchy at best. Given that kind of hit and miss chance of whether or not it will work, I simply can't recommend this product.


"Not Compatible With PS3", When it works, this game looks wonderful. However, it simply does not work on a PS3. I don't know what the performance is like on other blu-ray devices, but if you have a PS3, do not buy this product.

"So many glitches and no maney back!!!", This product was impossible to play in my PS3 ...there are a lot of glitches...no support from the supplier...and NO money back guarantee.

"not good on ps3 blue ray...", Will not play on ps3 blueray player. I don't know if any one wrote a review on that fact. I don't think I saw one when I went to buy it.

"Do NOT buy if you plan to use the PS3 to play. ", Well I have been a avid fan of Dragon's Lair since I was a kid. The game simply won't play in the Playstation 3 Console due to software problems. Everything else that I use for my system works perfectly but for some reason the software between the system and game conflicts and results in lag time when you need to make a move.

I also looked everywhere for some type of tech support thinking that maybe there was a patch or update to my PS3 but there was nothing.

Only buy this game if you plan to use it on a standalone blu-ray player.

I'm highly disappointed I can't enjoy the game. From what I saw of the graphics the game is beautiful.

Read this reviews before You buy...

"This is great - seems most issues are down to the player...", Well i just got this from Netflix and ran it on my Media PC with PowerDVD 7.3 Ultra.

There were absolutely no pauses in a scene.
There were some small ones before / after death scene.
Quality is outstanding.
Yes running this on a PC you still get an infinite lives issues (even if you set to 5) and the menu screen background turn black.

Gues this is what happens when a beta product (blu-ray) wins over a finsihed product (HD-DVD) - i assume DL will release a bug fixed version eventually.

However i had a great few hours playing this - i have bought many other versions and got bored / not go past opening few scenes. With this i played it all the way trhough. Great fun, great experience, shallow gameplay by modern standards but fun!

Can't wait for space ace to appear in my next netflix shipment :-)

"Dragon's Lair is back!", Dragon's Lair and Space Ace were my favorite arcade machines back in the mid 80's. These laser disc machines offered something none of the other arcade machines could. I have fond memories of dumping quarters into Space Ace and Dragon's Lair with my friends. It was great playing Dragon's Lair again on the PlayStation 3. The inrush of old memories and emotions while playing was incredible. Now, where can I get Space Ace for the PlayStation 3?


"Worth every penny if u have a ps3", The game play is flawless, just like I remembered back in 1983 ( Yes I'm an 37 year old still playing video games ) Using a PS3 and a controller with this game is a must!!!! I used to be the high score champ of Dragon's Lair at the local arcade, If u are a hater then u wouldn't understand how big this game was when it first came out!! In the arcades people would line up to play at 50 cents a turn, no one knew the moves, so it could last only a minute if u suck, I invested a lot of my allowance money to finish this game. It was worth every penny!! Some people watching would even clap after the dragon was killed. GOOD TIMES TO A THIRTEEN YEAR OLD.
If your an adult gamer like me then buy this game.
If your too young to remember this in the arcades forget it.


"Another format, another Dragon's Lair port. A beautiful re-re-re-re-release for the retro masochist.", Would you like to see a cartoon character die in dozens of comically gruesome ways, again and again? Then this is for you!

Are you a fan of former Disney animator Don Bluth ("The Secret of NIMH," and "Pete's Dragon" are most illustrative of his style)? Then this is a must-have!

Are you looking for a cutting-edge game with retro roots to play on your Playstation 3 console? OK, give this a try -- but be careful. If you're under the age of 30 or so, you're unlikely to put up with this old style of game.

This game was a revolution back in 1983 when it launched in arcades. It was simply stunning to see branching digital video in this pseudo-interactive form back then. The novelty wore off quickly when the game's high price and limited replay value came through, though. At fifty cents a play, it was a better deal to watch someone else suffer through the trial-and-error gameplay while you watched the beautiful video.

The game has never looked better. This edition is leaps and bounds over any other edition yet released, and there have been dozens, including platforms you'd never think would work, such as the black-and-white Macintosh on multiple floppy diskettes, the GameBoy Color, and the low-color, screen-door graphics of the Sega CD. Even the original LaserDisc and deluxe DVD editions are trumped here.

Controls are fast and responsive, and the gameplay is true to the original The original scene selection order has been preserved and the controller timing feels accurate to me. You can play with your Blu-Ray remote or a Playstation 3 controller if you're on that system.

Sadly, while it's beautiful and is the best version of the game yet, it's not perfect. The menu items don't work properly on the Playstation 3, which is the most popular BD player at this writing. When you select the "5 lives" option, the machine conveniently forgets this and you have 1 life forever, as if your arcade machine were set on FREE PLAY. That's not a bad thing from my perspective, but it would be interesting for people to simulate just how annoying a quarter-snatcher the arcade version was. The disc seems to request access to the internet, so there's a possibility this could be patched, but I have a feeling this disc will remain as-is unless they do another publication run.

There are ARCADE and HOME options so you can choose to see the shorter clips as originally presented, or as seen in home versions (like the playable drawbridge scene at the beginning). Since there is no effective limit on your lives, you just play until you finish or can no longer take any more. Each scene is presented at least once (sometimes flipped left-to-right) and you can't get to the ending unless you have beaten them all. Pauses to access the disc are imperceptible, much faster than any prior home version running off an optical disc.

The extras are nicely done. There's a "watch" mode in which you can see the solution for each of the screens, as well as the MANY different ways your hero can die. From what I can tell, it's the only way to see the animation where Dirk crumbles to bones, because of the "5 lives" bug above.

There are some interviews and a commentary track with 3 of the game's creators looking bored. I only glanced at the opening, but turned it off when I felt that I could read Don Bluth's mind. He seemed to be thinking "I'm tired of this 25-year-old ****, give me my check so I can go home." Good for the sake of completeness, but I doubt you'd watch it again and again.

There's a lovely clip showing the endgame with graphics from the rasterized Amiga version, the early PC version, the deluxe PC version, the original LaserDisc version, the DVD version, and this new HD version. Each one is added as a stripe on the screen until you see them all side-by-side. The comparison is stunning. When you looked at the fisheyed monitor in the 1983 arcade, you had no idea the game could ever look this good.

Finally, there are some previews of similar games that are coming soon, namely Space Ace and Dragon's Lair II: Time Warp. In my opinion, they're completely non-essential because they're so much more annoying. They're so much more annoying because there's a lot more speech in them, which means you get to hear the same silly dialogue again and again and AGAIN! Perhaps they'll be bundled into a value package with a fixed version of this disc in a few years. Given the publisher's penchant for reissuing this content, I think that's a pretty sure bet.

"Wish I had read all the reviews first", The only portion of the positive reviews that I would agree with is the amazing detail in the game. The clarity is awesome, but the game itself stunk in my opinion. I had played it a few times as a kid and was always fascinated by it, but when I tried it on my PS3 I was very disappointed. The interruption/delay in between scenes was very annoying. I would most definitely not recommend this game. What a waste of money!
