THE GOOD
*Updated visuals look awesome    	*Clever level design mixes 2D action with 3D
environments    	*Grabbing and tossing enemies is fun.
THE BAD
*Game is over far too quickly    	*Not enough challenge in the main quest.
Klonoa was originally released for the PlayStation more than a decade ago, but
you would be hard-pressed to discern its age at a glance. Even compared to
modern releases, the updated visuals look impressive and inviting, crafting a
colorful world in which it can be as much fun to marvel at the delightful
scenery as it can be to jump across pits. The simple gameplay hasn't received
the same overhaul as the visuals, but the tight controls and clever level design
give rise to a rewarding adventure that is a pleasure from beginning to end. If
only the end didn't come so quickly. Klonoa is over before you realize it,
abruptly cueing the ending credits long before you're ready to leave this world.
It's short and offers little in the way of challenge, but Klonoa's classic
gameplay and enticing visuals make it a satisfying and fun adventure.
