Promising yet very irritating
This game has a lot of promise, it has very good graphics for the time it came out and the storyline and characters are all pretty interesting and fun (to a point) to play. Knack's abilities too are pretty fun. It's a very long game too so gives lots of game play.

The main issue is that there are a lot irritating features that really start to get you down the longer you play. Regardless of what size Knack is, one or two hits from an enemy will kill you which pushes you back to a prior point within a level. Considering it is very difficult to avoid getting hit sometimes, this is a massive area of frustration for me. There's also no manual checkpoints and picking up health is really quite rare, especially when you need it. There's also very cheesy dialogue which can become a bit cringey after a while.


If it wasn't for the health and checkpoint issues, this would actually be a really good game. But at the moment it often makes me want to throw my controller at the screen...
