The ratings of IGN, 4Players, etc. were really bottomless. They prophesied lack of gameplay and lack of variety. Even small ingenuity they trusted to the development team.
The sad thing is that I read these reviews until after my purchase was (previously such sayings as K (n) ack game belongs etc.). But Twitch video convinced me already and for 45 on Ebay I saw no reason not to buy it.
Pure Clarification: No it's not a crash or Spyro ... the world has virtually only Schlauflvl and even someone with no imagination could imagine a few more game elements, which makes the game a bit more varied. Is it ultimately only to thrive, opponents with the square button to smash and find hidden caves and walls around artifact to find parts.
Spryo was then extensive ... in a complete 3D game world and various routes that could go made the game a hell of fun. The many attacks and attack options I miss something.
The game: Knack is better than expected. The loving world, the different enemy types and their corresponding balance the size of Knack is just great. If sticking small, so there are still opponents who can definitely finish a. If you then re-size it overruns this easy to make without having to worry.
In its simple gameplay but quite hidden a wonderful gameplay, which only comes on the Schwierkeitsgrad resources to bear and then inviting you to really focus on frustration.
The game has its weaknesses, and in particular as a launch game, it is perhaps not the best. But it's a great game, which guarantees fun for all ages.
On heavy, the game is a real challenge, without having this must verspürren excessive frustration. The checkpoints are well chosen. Unlike many games of today are not created checkpoints every 10 meters, but his progress you have to fight even if one goes down times.
The gameplay, Knacks thoughtful forces and above all (yes that's more important to me than anything) the lovingly designed enemy types and game world, making the game a good buy for all Spyro and Crash fans.
Negative: It is a heavy blow in the face that the development team of Knack really believes that the story is suitable for everyone. In my mind, this story is just ridiculous, but gives me the necessary background to more struggling with Knack. The good gameplay and the game world, as well as opponents but draw from it and therefore gibs me even one star deduction for the story.
Efforts should be made to buy the game cheaper on Ebay or so. Full price with 60-70 is a bit too expensive.
