Genres:Platform

Story:Klonoa: Door to Phantomile is a side-scrolling platform game viewed from a "2.5D" perspective. The player moves the protagonist, Klonoa, along a path in a two-dimensional fashion, but the game is rendered in three dimensions. This allows the path followed to curve and for the player to interact with objects outside of the path.Show more

While Phantasy Reverie remake does a good job of repurposing Klonoa Wii into something more akin to the PS1 original, it has still lost some of its magic (in my opinion).
The remake is a great 2.5D platformer. But the original version is truly special.
Namco showcase their mastery in FMV cutscenes that still look good today and show the world of Phantomile off in ways that just aren't the same in other versions. Sprites, while dated on modern screens, still convey emotion. The gameplay feels tighter. The menus and credits are all on-theme with the game. Music, as always with Namco, is amazing.
It's a whole experience and it deserves to be easily accessible in its original form.
Klonoa is one of the most unique jump'n runs I have ever played. The very special art style and the absolutely fantastic soundtrack create an atmosphere that covers the whole spectrum from joy to melancholy in an unprecedented way. The different levels and landscapes are pretty and the mixture of 2D and 3D gameplay is a lot of fun. Especially the ability to throw enemies into any three-dimensional direction extends the player's attention beyond reachable platforms, always trying to spot hidden items or switches that can be activated by throwing opponents at them. Compelling and creative boss fights are just the cherry on top of this underrated PlayStation masterpiece, which has to be preserved for future generations.
This game was a unique and moving platformer. A lot of heartwarming and thought-provoking moments throughout the adventure. Its a playthrough I have not forgotten, even 10-15 years later. It deserves the chance to be preserved and remembered in its original format. The FMV work is something that the Wii version and the remake has struggled to replicate. I hope this game does have a chance to continue and stick around.
While Phantasy Reverie Series is an option to play Door to Phantomile, it loses some of the magic the original PS1 version has. The FMVs feel surreal and dreamlike, something the in-engine cutscenes in Wiimake and Phantasy Reverie Series fail to replicate, especially the final cutscene which hits much harder in the PS1 version. The PS1 version still feels tight and refined to play, and deserves to be preserved.
Conker's Bad Fur DayHumorous action-platformer that does away with the tedious item collection found in most games in the genre. Instead, BFD employs a combination of standard jump, run and explore mechanics and context-sensitive gags and actions. For instance, in the beginning of the game, by pressing the B button on the first pad he encounters, Conker drinks some Alka-Seltzer to wipe out his hangover, at which point players can proceed forward. Later on these pads are used to activate a slingshot and throwing knives; to turn Conker into an anvil and drop downward; to shoot automatic, double-handed guns; to activate a The Matrix-inspired slow-motion effect and flip through the air shooting enemies; and much, much more.Action Fantasy Comedy

Great mysteries and a wonderful reward await the master hikers who reach the top of the mountain.
