Klonoa: Door To Phantomile

STORY / GAMEPLAY
Some people believe that dreams come true and the same seems to happen on our story, as dreams have vanished from the Kingdom of the Moon. All dreams come to life after our hero Klonoa wakes up in terror seeing that a mysterious huge airship crashes and spreads a shadow all over the country. Klonoa and his fellow Huepows must investigate what went wrong. On his way he must confront many enemies, avoid dangerous gaps, jump on higher platforms, kill big bosses and so on. Quite "heavy" quest I guess so it is imperative for Klonoa to always hit a bubble clock and use it as a checkpoint. The gameplay offers great fun as you travel across Klonoa's 12 colorful levels. You can hit the enemies with your laser-like weapon (a rod style) or even capture them and use them as a "push" to climb into higher platforms. Apart from technically awesome, Klonoa is a very addictive game and, in my opinion, it surely is one of the best platform games ever created for the Playstation console.

GRAPHICS / SOUND
This game pushes Playstation's hardware to its limits. The visuals are simply awesome with thousands of colors, smooth animation, multi-camera views with automatic zoom-ins and zoom-outs, great looking and vivid characters, great environments and background effects (including weather). This game will surely stun you. As for its sound, the game has an awesome background music and a wide variety of sound effects (some of them have echo). Klonoa can be described with two phrases: Pure fun! Great presentation!
