Clockwork Knight

Review by: Dave Z

Clockwork Knight is a very basic side scroller, that offers very little in the form of play mechanics or originality. The main character is a toy knight named Pepperouchau, whose only attacks are his sword (keys) and the ability to pick up and throw objects. The game is very easy and very short as well. What this game does have to offer is some of the most impressive graphics that I have ever seen. Although, this is a 2-D game the 3-D backgrounds are extremely breathtaking. There are many line scrolls and tons of parallax. The enemies can jump in from the backgrounds and the bosses both come into and out of the screen. The bosses, by the way, are easily some of the most impressive bosses in the history of video games, although, they are not very difficult to beat. Overall, this is basically eye candy, with not really much more.
