    Developer: Namco
    Publisher: Namco (Bandai Namco)

    In my life I have loved these games. And I still do. Klonoa: Door to phantomile is a magical and heart warming adventure.

    Story: Klonoa is a young cat (Namco has confirmed he is a cat) living in the magical world of Phantomile a place where people always forget their dreams, because they are taken away to the moon kingdom. But one day a Nightmare awakens named Ghadius who has put Phantomile in peril. With his trusty ring and Huepow his companion who has a secreat, Klonoa will go on a magical adventure.

    Gameplay: Klonoa plays like a 2D platformer but it's in 2.5D perspective. Klonoa can run left or right or face foward or backwards. There unique thing about klonoa is the way you use you're enemies to you're advantage, you basicly have to shoot a wind bullet at you're enemies they will then inflate with air. Once inflated you can fire you're enemies at other enemies or use them to double jump. Klonoa can take 6 hits before he can be knocked out then he will lose a life. Grab dream stones for great rewards they actully look like little green diamonds. Or free Phantomiles that where trapped by the Nightmares. Klonoa has some bosses but like the game they are really easy. So dont excpect a hard difficulty.

    Presentation: The graphics look cartoony and quite pretty everything looks like something Jesus would make if he was real and wasn't a pussy. And also it looks great for how old it is.

    Musical score: Really nice music and heart warming music can be found in this great game but voice acting may put you off. As they are all basicly high picthed gibberish.

    Conclusion: Klonoa is a great game that will provide a great experiance for adults as for children I dont think they will appreciate this game enough. The visuals are nice. The gamplay is great and fun. Plus the story is great and wonderful. So go and download the Klonoa rom of Romulation now ! Or Die !Do it ! Now !

    Thanks. I was still undecided about downloading this title, I'll start downloading right now.

    PS: Isnt the score supposed to be out of 50? Not 40?

    You're getting better, but still need work. Try make your next review longer. Thanks though, didn't know about this game. Will look into it. :)

    This doesn't really bother me but is it really necessary? I mean it is a review after all. Don't think its too appropriate.

    Oh it is appropriate all right. It's because I'm still a bear an animal born to raise hell infact if I saw a dinosaur I would rip his head off.

    I think it's a bit inflammatory.
    You might want to work on proper usage of you/you're.
    Otherwise, nice review.
