Despite occasional comic scenes attractively displayed as pages in a fantasy storybook that are utilized in lieu of a sweeping narrative, never mind the title's humdrum plot. Centering on a group of fairies, including the charming Delfbert ("Delf" for short), and their quest to foil an evil monster, you'll be much more surprised and delighted by the actual hands-on excitement itself. Thank a setup which sees you visiting dozens of individual, self-contained stages set in mystic forests, wooded glens and other attractively-rendered fey locales. In fact, presentation's one of the title's strongest suits, as flowery bursts of fireworks, shooting bolts of light and fluttering pixies add considerable charisma to every stage.
