When you boot up WSA, if you've ever dabbled with Goblins you'll immediately recognise that distinctive visual style - the very weird, gaudy coloured high resolution look. However, the resemblance doesn't end here - more about that in a moment.
The introduction very much sets the flavour for the rest. It's done out in true cartoon fashion, with exaggerated Tom and Jerry style violence, and the accompanying sound effects are appropriately wacky. The sonic side is carried off quite well throughout, in fact, with good quality digitised speech complementing the cartoony spot FX.
This cartoon motif is more pronounced than it was in Goblins, but the puzzles are very much of the same ilk. Yes, it's true that WSA is certainly a step on from Goblins in that it is much more of a graphic adventure...
