I think books 2 and 3 have more in common than the first two. But now that you bring it up like this, I'm having trouble putting my finger on what exactly makes me feel that way. The first one feels very much like a classic fantasy adventure, whereas the sequels bring a lot more random stuff and unexplained quirks to the world. I vaguely remember a completely nonsensical trip to the centre of the world (in book 2) for no particular reason other than that the game wanted you to. I may be wrong about this though, since it's been many years since I played.
To me, the two later parts felt more like a string of loosely connected weird episodes than a continuous fantasy story. But as I said, I'm having a bit of a hard time arguing for this since my memory of Zanthia's and Malcolm's adventures is so hazy.
