Klonoa 2: 1st Impressions (Unicron! read..)
« on: April 12, 2001, 11:04:47 PM »


               


The game starts out with what seems to be the main character coming back to life (in a dark place, then he\'s surrounded by light) then pops up unconcious in the ocean to drift back to shore. (good news for Unicrons sis, thats really why I posted this before playing more).


 


So far (15 mins in) it plays like a georgous remake of the original, but I expect further in I\'ll come across new mini games and gameplay features that werent present in the original. The in game cinemas are great, like a living cartoon. In fact, if there werent some slight jaggies, I\'d say better than JGR even.


As I play more, I\'ll add more info... I need to figure out how to save though... :)

The game looks very beautiful and the graphic-style is very personal, I can see :)

Please write a review as fast as possible - I\'m beginning to get interested about that game...

I played some more, beat the first boss, figured out how to save. I must say this game is almost EXACTLY like Kirby 64.  Some more thoughts as Im playing:

-The jaggies arent as bad as they seemed at first, after seeing more videos, It looks even better.

-After figuring out what the little dog (?) was saying, I figured out a key move that got me a lot farther. The levels are bright and imaginitive.

-Rayman (and DKC) style map leads to the levels.

-So far though, still little break up in gameplay. I flew on the back of a bird with limited control, and was \'pushed\' along some hills Tarzan style.

My current recommendation: If you liked part 1 or Kirby 64, this is for you. If not, after you tire of the graphics theres not much for you. I personally think it\'s worth a purchase.

While I\'ll continue adding comments as I go, dont expect a number based review, those are useless IMO...

Do you believe in a god that statisfies
Do you believe in a god that opens eyes?
Do you believe in a god that tells you lies?
Or do you believe in me??

I just though about it, he might not be ressurected, he mightve just been in a coma too. I dont speak japanese, so I\'m not sure....

The ending to Klona was certinaly different.  You would never expect something like that with a game as colorfull and cute like Klona.  I can understand why some people might cry at that ending..especially kids

Yeah.Even I found the ending quite disturbing for a game that is supposed to be for kids as well.It was unexpected.
She(and me:))got so happy the bad guys got beaten and  the ending was supposed to be like a harmony and a normal happy life for all th echaracters.But the ending was so sudden.
She also bursted all the bubbles so she could find a secret about the story.But again got more upset:D when one character(I dont remember his name) went ro ask Lephise on marriage but she told him that he loved him as a big bother.And then he was crying  alone while Klonoa and Lephise were examining his present he made for her.

DAMN YOU NAMCO:D
