Sony Computer Entertainment Europe have announced more crazy fun from Namco; Klonoa 2: Lunatea’s Veil, the second instalment of the 3D Platform Adventure, Klonoa: Door to Phantomile.
Due for release in Q4, Klonoa 2: Lunatea’s Veil is a unique blend of fantastic gameplay, stunning graphics, and a quirky, original storyline.
Klonoa 2 takes classic platforming action as its basis and then redefines it for the next generation. The game is extremely accessible and attractive to younger players, yet has enough depth and originality to maintain the interest of those more familiar with the genre. Essentially a 3D adventure with 2D side scrolling action, Klonoa 2 places its emphasis on great gameplay first and foremost.
Using his magic ring, Klonoa has the ability to fire wind bullets which inflate his enemies like balloons. He can then use them as weapons, as a foothold to perform double jumps, or to catch a ride with flying enemies. Some levels will require him to snowboard down icy slopes or surf rushing rivers. In other areas he will bounce on trampolines, dive off cliffs, or be launched high in the sky and right across town in a giant cannon.
Graphically, Klonoa 2 sets new standards for games in the fantasy genre. Its cartoon-style animation is as colourful, smooth and lavish as an animated film. Cell shading brings characters and objects to life, while the 3D backgrounds are rendered in sumptuous detail. Klonoa 2 is one of the first games that can really live up to its claim to utilise the graphical capabilities of the PlayStation 2 to the full.
