Klonoa: Empire of Dreams
Review by KlonoaX
"This game blew my away!"
This game has got to be one of the most impressive titles on the GBA. I have been playing it everyday since I got it, and I've yet to become bored.
Graphics: 8/10
The graphics are really good. They might have been able to do better, but for me these were really good. I could make out what everything was supposed to be so that's good. But, they might have been able to do better. So that's why the 8.
Sounds/Music: 9/10
The sound was really good. The music didn't get annoying and the sounds were clear. In fact, I LOVED the music. I didn't get tired of listening to any of it. But, as usual, I think they might have added a little more variety, so 9 here!
Gameplay: 10/10
The gameplay is completly awesome. You are Klonoa, a cat who gets arrested for dreaming in this guy's kingdom. You have to go through five worlds to get back to your original world. Not the best story, but then again the gameplay far makes up for it! You have basic techniques. A=Jump, B=Windshot and the other ones are basic too. In each level, you have to go through it and collect three stars. The three stars unlock the door out. How do you do this you ask? I'll explain! Klonoa's wind shot unleashes a blast of air that inflates your enemies. This allows Klonoa to grab them and carry them. You can jump and then jump again using the enemy as a boost, you can throw them, you can do a lot of things. There are gems in every level too, which you can collect. Their are the bonus levels as well! Their are two types of bonus levels, the boarding one, and the scrolling level one. The boarding one is a level where Klonoa is on a snowboard. You guide it through the level trying to collect the hundred gems. The scrolling level one is a level which moves, and this in my opinion is harder. Their are fun boss fights as well. The boss fights all have a certain gimmick to them.
Overall: 9/10
This game was totally awesome, but I personally think it could've used a few more tunes, and a little better graphics. A few more varietys of bonus levels would've been cool too, but what can I do? Anyway, buy this game! IT ROX! I don't recommend it to people who want side scrollers which you have to shoot everything with guns, like Megaman X, cuz this requires mind power to play. Cya later!
