Klonoa: Door to Phantomile

THE GOOD:
I have to say this game was wonderful. Very emotional in some ways that I can't explain...seeing as I'd spoil the game for ya. You are in control of Klonoa who's known for his big ears, blue hat and adventurous attitude who one day seem something land at the top of a hill not far from him. With his little companion Huepow who is used inside Klonoas ring to use him as energy. Together you embark on a huge journey where you find friends and foes.

Settings are bright, colourful and are hours of fun. Avoiding and completely obstacles as you dodge or beat up the little enemies that come along that you can use to an advantage at times to beat big enemies or to get to those hard to reach places. The music with the game is something you'll enjoy tapping your feet too. Not only is some of the music so upbeat, but some can be very emotional and sad. This game also includes voices as well, though not in English it doesn't matter. The voices...

THE GOOD:
this game kicks total and complete @$$ in every way.

THE BAD:
IT'S TOO SHORT! after you finish it you want more, more, MORE! (can't wait for Klonoa 2 on PS2)

SUMMARY:
What more can i say? This is what a video game should be. I've been playing video games since Pong, and i've never loved a game as i have Klonona. The graphics, even after seeing 128bit beauty, are superb. If you examine one particular object you might think the graphics to be simple, but the whole picture is outstanding. Nicely renderd 3D environments without the anoying bugs of all out 3D games (Klonoa is in essence a classic side scroller) The gameplay is smooth, tight, and simple, and you get the occasional dramatic camera angle to show how high or low your character (klonoa) is. And yes the music is done very very well, it's suprising and refreshing, a change.
Klonoa is a gem, a must have.

THE GOOD:
kickass graphics, superb soundtrack, briliant level design, somehow addictive

THE BAD:
a bit easy to complete, might not appeal to hardened gamers

SUMMARY:
you wouldn't think that namco- the makers of tekken, soul blade and ridge racer (to name but a few) would make a cute and cudly game.
but don't be put off that the game is seemingly for kids. as this is one helluva game- the level design is kool, music is cheerful (it might annoy some of u people out there).
the only 'bad' thing about this is that it is pretty easy and you should be able to complete it in less then a week. BUT....the thing is can u collect all the hostages (i forgot what they were called) on every stage in less then a week- well u won't know unless u buy the game which is the point of this review... i serously recommend u try to find and buy this game this game and play it for old time sake and see what games use to be like...

THE GOOD:
Good graphics, sound, and high enjoyment level. No frustration here.

THE BAD:
Klonoa's high-pitched repetative voice and sounds gets a little irritating after a while. No biggie, though.

SUMMARY:
This is one of the many silent wonders on the PlayStation. For the few who've had the pleasure of playing this one, you know what I'm talking about. Great graphics, catchy music, and just plain fun. No instruction books needed for this game. It's simple enough for everyone, but still has all those in-game challenges and puzzles that everyone knows and loves. This game is recommended for anyone looking for solid platforming fun!
