How Metascores Are Calculated

Klonoa embarks on his biggest adventure yet! Our hero is in a struggle to win his freedom and rescue an empire from chaos. Help Klonoa conquer 40 of the wildest levels you've ever seen. It's gonna take all of the jumping, wind-bulleting, hover-boarding and puzzle-solving skills you've got. [Namco]

For those of you who believe gameplay truly does triumph over setting and enjoy a good thinking person’s game, Klonoa: Empire of Dreams will not disappoint.

IGN
Absolutely wonderful.

GameZone
Addictive, famously frivolous, and yet so well designed that even the most serious gamer can enjoy it; Klonoa just simply rocks the GBA world.

Nintendophiles
A thinking man's platformer.

GamePro
Bright, kaleidoscopic levels fill every inch of the screen, while the music and sound effects play nicely with Klonoa’s game style.
89
GameSpy
An enriching game experience with lots of technical moves and hours of gameplay. It does not, however, offer much in the way of new style or play for the GBA.

Pocket Games
Easy to beat, but difficult to complete. [Winter 2001, p.46]

GameCritics
Rounding out the package is a beautiful story where Klonoa must literally fight for the freedom to dream—a freedom that has been denied by a grouchy Emperor suffering from chronic insomnia.

GamerWeb Nintendo
It has some of the most brain-bending and sophisticated gameplay of any platform-style action/adventure game released in years.

My Gamer
If you’re a GBA owner looking for an original (non-remake or port) 2D old-school side-scrolling adventure, then look no further than this.

GMR Magazine
More of a puzzle game than a platformer with great graphics and sound. [Feb 2003, p.97]
80
G4 TV
Sound issues aside, Klonoa: Empire of Dreams is a solid platformer that's loaded with its share of addictive challenges and quests.

All Game Guide
It plays much like its PlayStation and PS2 counterparts, but feels more at home on the 2D-friendly Game Boy Advance than it did on higher powered consoles.
80
GameSpot
Nowhere as ambitious as Klonoa 2 on the PS2. However, it is a highly respectable emulation of the general feel of the Klonoa universe.
78
Electronic Gaming Monthly
Despite its strictly 2D perspective, the game just looks phenomenal. [Sept 2001, p.148]
75
Gaming Age
Unfortunately the game follows a highly structured pattern of progression, which can be a slight turnoff to some.
