The Cat in the Hat= Klonoa
Usually it's just common sense to at least thinly veil various elements so as not to be an outright facsimile, but not so with this one. The 2.5D gameplay, the enemy capturing, right down to the jump-boosting swirly whirlwinds and rockets that blast you from one zone to the next have been about as thinly veiled as an elephant in a clover field.
Just a heads-up. Feel free to wax indignant as you see fit.
It's a new trend in movie-games (I think the GBA Lilo & Stitch game had Metal Slug-esque segments).
Though I don't think it's anything to get knotted over.
...besides the fact that this'll actually sell when Klonoa never did.
I saw a commercial for this movie, is it really all that necessary? It doesn't look good at all! Hopefully it will be better than The Grinch but that's not exactly a vote of confidence.
live action dr seuss is terrifying. everything looks so disgusting, especially teh cat.
Yeah, if I reported every game that aped another, I'd never stop posting. This one is just especially shameless in it's "borrowing"... It's case of plagiarism is probably the worst I've ever seen. They didn't even try to disguise it. It's like, I'm not surprised to see a platformer follow the Mario style, but if it featured a mushroom that made you larger, warp pipes, and so forth, that game should be called out and publicly lambasted.
So ignoring the terrible license, is it actually any good?
Well, if it's a good Klonoa knock-off, it'll be at least worth $20.

Yup. Klonoa 2 was...fun, something that more games need to be. It also had inventive, unique characters. The Japanese voice acting with English subtitles was a nice touch as well. Of course, the controls weren't quite as responsive as the original's, which is really the only downside I can think of for it.
it was japanese voice acting only in the fact that japanese people spoke the dialog. the language itself is gibberish. /nitpickQuote:
