Critic Reviews for Mia and the Dragon Princess
Mia and the Dragon Princess is a hugely entertaining FMV action game, with great fight scenes and genuinely funny writing.
Beyond incomprehensible, Mia and the Dragon Princess is the type of low-budget FMV schlock that gives schlock a bad name. Regardless of what choices the player makes, the story does not hold together, the action doesn't hit, and the interface is boring. This is the first Wales Interactive title I've played that is absolutely not worth your time.
In terms of production values and writing, Mia and the Dragon Princess is a standout in Wales Interactive's FMV-inspired run of games. Unfortunately, it stumbles around its branching narrative device and the story's pacing and structure can suffer the consequences.
Another in the series of film adventures from Wales Interactive wants to enchant us with a theme, branching story and plot. Unfortunately, not very successfully.

Mia and the Dragon Princess doesn’t really stand out amongst the crowd of interactive films; I doubt I’ll remember it in the same way as I remember The Complex, for example. It was an enjoyable time, enough for me to play through to try and get different endings a handful of times. Despite the broken spot in the story tree, it was a welcome addition to the gameplay experience. The acting was good, though some characters seemed unnecessary. One branch of the story felt complete, the others were definitely just dead ends and generally not terribly interesting. Is the game worth playing? Sure. Does it belong in the FMV hall of fame? I don’t think so.
Mia and the Dragon Princess is cheesy as it should be and brings what is expected from a good FMV, with relevant choices, cartoonish performances and many unexpected consequences. However, it fails to offer an interaction without any inventiveness, in addition to serious continuity problems and, mainly, a script full of potential that never actually comes true, regardless of the chosen ending.

Mia and the Dragon Princess is worth a look if you are a fan of this type of game. Impressive acting talent is present although they are in full-on ‘hamming it up’ mode, the fight scenes are well choreographed and there are a few killer lines of dialogue. If the idea of a children’s TV drama mixed with a brutal British gangster film appeals to you, this could be a dream come true.
While there are some exciting and fun moments in this FMV adventure, inconsistent performances and plotting hold it back
