Pros: Fun, mindless platformer with beautiful graphics and just enough challenge to keep it enjoyable. Also has a great co-op mode for kids.

Cons: Gets a tad repetitive and storyline could use some more detail.

Overall Review: I had a lot of fun with this game. Bought it as a launch title and don't regret it at all! What you have to realize is that Knack isn't trying to be the next Crash Bandicoot. It is a simple platformer with charming characters and great graphics. I thought the battle system got a little repetitive, but it was still challenging enough to keep it interesting. Possibly the best feature is the co-op mode so you can play with your younger kids! Robo-Knack (as I call him) is the co-op player, and it's perfect for kids because his death doesn't have any affect on the game. They can fight, they can assist Knack with power, and they can die as many times as they like. It's perfect for my daughter who is 6 and just getting started in gaming.
