The graphics are very simple, but quite pleasant. Each island has a different season associated with it, so of course they all looked individual. You could tell which island you were on at a glance. The only thing I was disappointed with was the lack of character choices. There were 8 choices: a turtle, 3 bears, a monkey, a cat, a dog, and a bunny. While that is a decent amount, it would have been really nice to be able to change their fur color, at a minimum. There also isn't much of a choice in clothing when you first start out. Luckily you'll find lots of it easily so that's not an issue for long.
The choice for character sounds was slightly lacking. There were only 9 sounds choices, none of which remotely sounded like a bear. But since I didn't even notice the sounds that I chose during the games, I guess it doesn't really matter. Most of the sounds that you hear are the background music, which is very calming and relaxing, and the sound effects from the games, like the sound of wind.
