Klonoa: Door to Phantomile

This is a game that is filled with a simple yet endearing story, excellent game mechanics, eye-popping visuals, a challenging collection element, and a surprisingly bittersweet ending that will make you want to play it all over again, especially to see the once-static cinematics recreated in full 3D. Klonoa is one of the best platforming games of all time and this is a superior remake of an already flawless original. Get this game now, keep it in your collection, and enjoy it for years to come.

Don't be fooled into thinking that this is just a creaky update of an old classic, because this version of Klonoa is an essential update that mixes brand new visuals with some of the best level design ever. Quite simply unmissable.

Klonoa is a remake of the original, and it follows the template brick for brick, but for newcomers to the series it’s a must-play entry into the world of platformers. For returning fans, there’s still a nice bit of nostalgia to it all as well. I got a kick out of the original 12 years ago, and it’s been great coming back to the series. The visuals look crisp, though there’s better on Wii in the form of titles like Galaxy and Nintendo’s own Wario platformer, but it runs at 60 frames a second, and the core gameplay more than justifies the franchise’s reentry into the gaming world. It’s well worth the $30, and a great platformer with plenty of difficulty ramp-up to appeal to everyone. Welcome back Klonoa. Hopefully you get to kick your feet up and stay for a while…

The best part about this new remake of Klonoa is that it's going for the discounted price of $29.99. Considering the game won't take you an especially long time to finish, that's a great price for a classic platformer that still has some appeal for modern players while also being charming enough for younger kids to get into, as well.

Despite being too short and easy for its own good, Klonoa is still a well-made, exciting platformer. The level design is quite impressive, seamlessly integrating 2D action in a 3D world, and the various views and branching paths create a novel experience. Tossing your hapless foes into other enemies or background switches is a fun mechanic that opens the door for some clever puzzles in the later levels. The visuals bring everything together, breathing life into this world overrun by an unknown evil. Klonoa is over before you know it, but it's darn fun while it lasts.

Om du är förberedd på ett relativt kort spel och kan stå ut med spelhistoriens kanske mest irriterande, puttenuttiga röstskådespel är Klonoa en gedigen titel och ett plattformspel som lär sätta mer än ett leende på dina läppar. Designen är strålande, spelkontrollen precis som vi vill ha den och återigen har vi bevis på varför två (och en halv) dimensioner kan vara mäktigare än tre.

Klonoa is one of the best platforming games on the Wii. For a game that is over a decade old, it is a testament that it can hold its own versus all the new ideas and fancy advances in gaming. It is a shame that the difficulty is set so easy and there isn't much game to play. Your time spent with Klonoa is well worth the experience, even if it is all too brief.

Klonoa heeft de tand des tijd uitermate goed doorstaan. Het ouderwets platformen is het hele spel door vermakelijk, waarbij het spelen met de ruimte en de simpele doch diepere besturing voor extra plezier zorgen. Het is alleen heel erg jammer dat het plezier ook weer heel snel afgelopen is doordat je het eind al bereikt hebt. Hier draagt de moeilijkheidsgraad ook aan bij. Dit doet wel echt afbreuk aan het spel als geheel. Toch is Klonoa een leuk avontuur waar je veel lol mee kunt hebben
