Namco Klonoa - Empire of Dreams Gameboy Advance Action Review

Overall Rating
 5 of 5

Price Paid:  $15.00 from Gamestop

Summary:
I can pretty much sum it all up with this: If you enjoy platformers (Mario, Sonic) you will like this game. And if you don't enjoy platformers...you will probably still enjoy this game. There's a little of everything in this game: platforming, mini-games (something like snowboarding), puzzle..

Summary:
I loved Klonoa Empire of Dreams. I know that most people don't know that it is on the market but I feel that Namco should make another Klonoa really soon.

Summary:
This is one of the best platformers on the GBA. Klonoa uses a ring to catch and puff up enemies to use them as weapons, to perform double jumps, etc. This game is very well put together. It requires you to think your way out of situations using the enemies in smart and innovative ways. This game is great and comes with the highest recommendation. I was playing this game over some of my PS2 games. I am tired of Klonoa being overlooked. He deserves to have the referenced respect that Crach, Sonic, and yes even Mario have managed to ganer. Go get this game before it becomes hard to find. I also highly recommend purchasing Klonoa on the PS2, as it was a much derseving, yet over-looked game like this one.

Summary:
Among the lack of any good first-generation platformers was a lame SMB2 rehash with the original Mario Bros. I don't have anything against the Mario games, but why rehash a game when Nintendo knows they can do better? Along with SMB2 was Rayman: Advance. Which was the same game you saw on multiple platforms, we yawn again as the search for a topnotch platformer continues. We look and look the shelves, looking at a platformer that isn't another port. And that's where Klonoa: Empire of Dreams, comes in. After playing Klonoa through 90% of the game, i can safely declare that Klonoa: Empire of Dreams is the first topnotch platformer that is NOT a port, and it's one worth a look too.

STORY
-----

On the Empire of Dreams, 'twas a grumpy emperor that has insomnia, a disease that does not let him sleep. He jealously makes sleeping a crime. One day, Klonoa woke up on that same empire and was arrested. But just before he was going to get sentenced to nasty nachos and a 800 hour marathon of Barney(Or just get injected with a lethal injection or... you guess), the emperor makes a deal with him. Klonoa is sent to dispell the four monster of each of the four mountain islands. This is where the game begins...
