Klonoa has some of the most ingenious level designs this side of the 16-bit era, seemlessly blending side-scrolling platforming with the third dimension in a way that puts most modern "2.5D" platformers to shame. It's a beauty on the Wii too. The creative talent on display here makes the current stock of stale Japanese "me too!" titles all the more grating. The minds behind Klonoa were masters of their craft, and it shows even in this straight remake of the PlayStation game.
