The game definitely has the claymation/Aardman look to it, and not just in the still images that bookend each race. The pigs, race courses and, of course, Shaun himself, all look the part. As a result, anyone looking for a game featuring Shaun will find Fleece Lightning a good title to look into.
While Shaun and his racing opponents do take center stage in the game, I was pleased to see how well the different race locations seemed to fit locations from the show. Besides simply taking cues from areas around the farm, the various items you will find on the courses, like trucks, look like they were in the show as well. Green Ant did a good job of nailing the feel of the show.
I'm sorry to say, while the game's visuals look good, it's audio is a bit nerve-wracking. The music is okay, but it quickly gets repetitive, especially since all or most of the races seem to have the same song behind them, and they all open with this odd "Home on the Range" sounding tune played by different farm animal noises. When it comes to Fleece Lightning's sound effects though, then the audio gets unbearable. While in a race, you will be bombarded by a constant stream of sound effects that range from the pigs oinking to Shaun skidding as he takes turns or various bump and bong sounds if you run into anything. Before each race is over, you are simply assaulted by a non-stop barrage of clips. In the end, I simply turned off both music and sound effects.
I was also a little disappointed when I realized that whatever music I was listening to before starting the game would turn off when it launched, even with the music and sound effects options turned off. I know this is a minor detail, but it's one that most iPhone based games seem to have mastered.
