It's okay for the intro movie, where a lot of other games, such as Blood Omen used these kind of graphics in cutscenes. This builds up a lot of tension which determines you to go on in order to find out what will happen next.The choice of graphics isn't that good. The interesting element in storyline is that an unknown assassin kills off systematically the other contests. The story in this game, to be honest, is quite interesting but it feels somewhat the same like in other games: you're a prince in which you need to compete in some sort of Rites of Rulership, a contest where you compete for a Greek-like kingdom known as Silmaria, and in the end fighting of a dragon.
It's somewhere in between, because there are things that this game does a good job and in the same time it has some bad elements as well.
While there are better RPG's out there, Quest For Glory 5 is nor bad nor great. I'm not familiar with any of the Quest For Glory games until recently when I have tried out the fifth one in the series. So, give it a try if you are in the experience for the interactive adventure elements. The more puzzles you solve, the more areas you uncover/unlock, so really, it is this that will entice you to go on, rather than the story. You get the usual pixel hunt puzzles, your regular items combination puzzles and also quite a few conversational puzzles, where you will struggle to pick the optimum answer, to get a move on. The offering, while not that original, is by no means one to sneer at. At any rate, there is a certain dynamic and a feel that fits really well in the game, and which is bound to put you in a position from which you can simply enjoy the puzzles. The game tried something a little more innovative, bringing in 2D environments on top of which the camera moves as if they were fixed in a certain point, though 3D. Right from the start, luckily, the adventure story tropes take a bit of a step back. You have to rid Silmaria of a dragon, but until you get to do that, you will have to prove yourself. The story ark in Quest For Glory 5: Dragon Fire is a bit too familiar by this time to really give you any pleasure or anticipation chills. Very well polished adventure, though with a flimsy story
