Kingsley's Adventure
Description
Kingsley's Adventure is a 3D action-adventure game for the PlayStation in a similar vein as The Legend of Zelda. In the game, you play an orphaned fox called Kingsley who was adopted by the king and queen of the Fruit Kingdom. For the most part of his life he, lived in the Carrot Castle where he was being tutored by an wise badger into the ways of a warrior and true knight.
When a former cook from the castle is fired after being accused of food poisoning, he takes a turn for the worse. He steals the queen's spellbook and enchants the king's soldiers so he can take over the castle and thus control of the Fruit Kingdom. Now it is up to the player as Kingsley to save the day. But before you can really save the day, the young Kingsley will have to prove his valor and honor as a knight.
Kingsley can collect items, talk to the inhabitants of the Fruit Kingdom and fight enemies with various weapons such as a sword, axe, knife and crossbow. He will have to dodge cannonballs, crushing blocks and buzzing saws. Activate switches and open locks, jump over dangerous terrain and collect power-ups and items.
Win the trust of villagers in the kingdom by helping them solving their troubles and clearing dungeons. Find a way into fortresses to defeat the dark knights in order to restore peace to the kingdom.

Fits in well in its own environment
The Good
This game has, I think, perfect graphics, at the very least... not because the technology couldn't do better, but because the game's world is made in such a way (along with its background music) that everything as is drawn and displayed on screen (with all the intentional 'cuteness' too) just fits in along with the storyline.
The music is especially pertinent to which part of the game it accompanies... although often deceptive, as it attempts to hide the sheer difficulty of the platformer.
The Bad
The controls were remarkably awkward, especially when they're most needed in dungeons.
The storyline is also (just a bit sometimes) lacking, especially when it comes to the dark knights' (non-existent) backgrounds, although what little dialogue there is is usually redeemed through its humour.
The Bottom Line
Short and sweet (despite its difficulty).
