Regarding sound, Duck Detective: The ghost of glamping continues to maintain the wonderful English dubbing of its previous episode. The interpretation of the dubbing of actors and actresses is more than remarkable. All the characters have their personality and their ways of speaking that make them unique. Eugene Mcquacklin, for example, is the parody of the coarse, lonely detective and becoming. He constantly has internal monologues and errors on the case. But apart from the detective Duck, we will also have an ESNOB rabbit with a French accent, a shy pigeon, a Castora oa freddy impassive, the crocodile companion of Eugene, which relieves comics in the game.
