I love Klonoa, but... this game... it's a bad game.

Lets go through the bad before we get to the good.

The gameplay- the platforming- it's just awful. And I think that's because of three things. The level design being bad- the controls being bad- and then you come to realize this is an unfortunate faithful remake to the old game. As such- the imperfections of the old game seep into this one. I'm sorry- but this needed more of a modern touch. They needed to fix the janky controls. They needed to improve the level design. Faithful be damned.

I mean- listen to the voices. Especially in the first game. That's just unacceptable, I'm sorry. If the audio is that distorted- don't use it? It's common sense. Just record new voices with the old cast if you can get them- or an entirely new cast. I know it won't be the same, I know. But it's better than this.

Lets go to what I liked about the game. Obviously- its Klonoa! His friends. The world. Its such a charming little world- with even a unique language, too! I want more Klonoa. I hope they can create more, and improve the flaws.

This series has potential.
