English voice acting?! BLASPHEMY!

Klonoa characters don't speak English! There better be an option to switch to Klonoa gibberish.

Klonoa is looking as good as ever. And despite what one of you guys said (I can't tell, I haven't been here that long, don't watch a lot of videos), I'd call this game 2.5D. It's limited to the 2D plane, but it makes use of 3D. Just look at those overlapping paths, jutting out at noticeable angles. You can't do that solely in 2D!

This game screams 1997. Cutesy, Ultra-Japanese characters, 2.5D platforming, and comically bad voice acting. Pass.

Arbitrary, that's because it was made around that time or perhaps early 2000s.

Hey, EA just remade Pandemonium for the iPhone.  I'm looking at it right now on the app store ($2.99).  So there you go somebody remembers Pandemonium.

I remember Pandemonium also and kind of liked it.  Like one user said, I hope the do have the option for gibberish since it would just be more at home with the original then.  Can't wait to get it even if it is October when its out here.

I remember playing the Pandemonium 2 demo dozens of times (back then I could not afford many games) I had a crush on the girl Nikki. Yes she looked like a slut in her silver bra/top thing, but there was nothing hotter for a 12 year old. So much better looking than Lara Croft (I thought back then)

Klonoa I also played a lot in demo form...I subscribed to a magazine where I got the demo called Euro Demo every month so 80 % of my PS1 gaming was demos =P

I played the PS1 Klonoa not too long ago, I really wish they'd bring those types of games back. At least on a smaller scale as downloadable titles or on handhelds.

I didn't want this Quick Look to end.
The game looks so colourful and dreamy... it makes me feel like a child again.
Or should i leave my infantile tendencies behind me and grow up?

Gaining powers makes you feel like you're progressing, but if the level requires the powers to get past it anyway, then it's not really that necessary. 

I think it's great when a game can ramp up the difficulty and intricacy of the puzzles without introducing new powers.
