In this version, they have brought quite a few changes which have made the game equally good for the new comers and for those who have played this series. This version from the King's quest series is unlike the other versions where you need to play the other ones as well to get a grip on it. Lucasarts' Monkey Island games might be better for newcomers to the genre though. If you can ignore the betrayal of the King's Quest lineage in the graphics and interface, there is some enjoyment to be had here though, with a fun quest that offers plenty of twists and turns. The game certainly isn't ground-breaking in terms of graphic adventures, not doing anything new with the genre, and often feeling like a movie more than a game. The Princeless Bride is a strange game, one that seems out of sorts with its series, thanks to the overly cute graphics and simple interface, but which is difficult to recommend if you've never played any of the previous games, due to the history of the characters. Puzzles wise, there are plenty of challenging ones on display here and despite the game's family-oriented visual style, it isn't as easy as this might suggest. One feature of particular annoyance to veterans of the series is the simplification of the interface, which now requires players to simply click on the environment in order to interact and solve puzzles.
Uniquely for the series, the player switches between two characters and is also divided into chapters, which does interrupt the story's flow somewhat. The plot is the usual innocently enjoyable nonsense that eschews violence in favour of a story highly suited to family audiences who have grown up on The Little Mermaid or The Lion King, and sees players attempting to save the land from the machinations of an evil sorceress. One of the last games in the long-running adventure series, The Princeless Bride takes its inspiration from Disney's animated movies and provides a visually impressive, but ultimately shallow and un-King's Quest-like experience.
