Knack II Review – Solid Platforming and Brawling Action | GameCloud

Lliam Ahearn at GameCloud writes: "Knack II is a great example of a sequel making things right. A lot of the characters dampen the story as they did the first game, but Knack’s personality and the cartoony villains are enough to keep things entertaining. The strengths of the first game are re-tuned and expanded here, making for a God of War style brawler for a family audience, without sacrificing too much in the way of depth. The platforming the first game promised is here with traversal challenges designed less impeccably than a Mario Galaxy, but a few notable steps above a Pac-Man and The Ghostly Adventures. Though the potential of a few of Knack’s abilities isn’t quite maximised yet again, it certainly feels like they put some effort into it here, and the result is a solid action platformer."
