A platformer that feels much like a puzzler, Namco's Mario-inspired game should engross fans and players who like to exercise their brains as much as their twitchy fingers.
Cat-like hero Klonoa is in deep do-do for talking back at evil Emperor Jillius, who has outlawed dreams. To gain an imperial pardon, Klonoa must figure his way through 40 levels in five worlds. Something of a hep cat, Klonoa sports a cool backward baseball cap that's cleverly decorated with a picture of Pac-Man, the star of Namco's current Pac-Man Collection for GBA. Cut-scenes show Klonoa chatting with Navi-like pal Huepow.
