You've never seen such a variety of puzzles.

All the Klonoa games are fun, kind of classic-feeling side-scrolling games with a very fresh feel. This one is another action-puzzle game like the first GBA Klonoa, with none of the PS1 and PS2 games' 3D thrills but a definite charm of its own. Its simple-yet-deep gameplay, refreshing storyline, and incredible variety of level design make it a very worthwhile purchase, even if you have played the first GBA Klonoa.

The first GBA Klonoa took the series in a new, puzzle-filled direction. This one continues that tradition with an all-new array of levels, whose complexity and ingenuity reach levels well beyond those of the first by the end of the game. The perplexing and annoying multi-key juggling from the first game is gone here, leaving nothing but fresh, shrewd puzzles. You'll love 'em.

This game has a good difficulty curve, starting very easy, progressively getting tougher, and including some VERY difficult challenges for the hardcore gamer who seeks the top ratings in all the levels. The game's storyline stays very interesting, even to a gamer that's seen it all. Another thing that sets this game apart, once you get to the more complex levels, is just how many ways the designers found to use Klonoa's fairly simple play engine. The game will have you doing things you have never done in any other game. To progress you have to come up with puzzle solutions that you never would have thought of; I swear that the designers found every single thing you can possibly do using Klonoa's simple array of moves. DESIGNERS TAKE NOTE: Prove me wrong and make Klonoa use his abilities in even more ways in GBA Klonoa 3!!! :) Nothing would make me happier.

The graphics (*** out of 5) are cartoony; they're good but not the most impressive part of the game. The game play (*****) stands out, so simple yet lets you do such a variety of things. The challenge (*****) ranges from ridiculously easy to puzzles you may not figure out for half an hour. The story (****) is fun and may surprise some by the end, and the game's variety (****) is bogged down a bit by the constant barrage of time-consuming puzzles, but enhanced by a few boogie-boarding levels in a pseudo-3D that break the monotony. Overall (*****), this is a game you should buy.

If you loved Empire of Dreams, you'll love this!

This game that was realeased in Japan back in 2002, now finnaly sees an english realease, which is good as it's an extremly fun and addictive game, and is also quite original. It is a platform game with puzzle elements (sort of an action puzzler). But the thing about this game is that you have a very limited amount of simple moves at your disposal, all Klonoa can do is jump, and shot out "wind bullets" from his magic ring to capture enemies or boxes with. Once he has an enemy (or box) he can jump in midair or throw it. Also, without an enemy or box, he can jump and hover in mid air with his ears if you hold down the jump botton. And these are all the abilitys you have to work with, but yet the game never gets repetitive and you always have to come up with new ways to use these few skills. It's easy in the beggining, but gets harder in the later stages (or visions as they're called here). There are many different types of enemys for you to use however, including ones that explode or ones that absorb another enemy then come back to you. There are also "action" or forced scroller stages and "hoverboarding" stages. The action ones can be fun (depends on how you feel about forced scrollers) and the 3D-ish hoverboarding stages offer a bit of variety. If these stages arn't your cup of tea though, you can simply skip them (not if you're trying to unlock all extra stages though) and move on. The boss battles are races (in the first you're actually trying to escape the boss) in which you must remove all the main monsters and obsticles in your path and be the first to the goal. There are extra stages in the game, if you collect all "sun stones" (one per vision). And if you collect all "dream stones" you get a picture. You can also try to get all "S" ranks on all of the visions (the most challenging part of the game). Anyone who has played Klonoa Empire of Dreams knows bassicaly what I'm talking about. There are a few new things and a few changed things, but bassicaly this an advanced Empire of Dreams, so if you liked that game get this one! As for everyone else, this is a game I highly recommend (as I do all the Klonoa games) and think most players would engoy it. Simple but Fun.

All I have to say is Booooo!This game is not worth it, I would be better of playing 'Piglet's BIG Game'.
