    The ideas behind this game are cute, but Kya has to be one of the weakest and most pathetic heroines I have seen in a game in a long time. Her weapons don't even phase her enemies and if you even sneeze wrong she drops dead. The best things about this game is the wind travel and the boarding.

    Jeu d'une grande niaiserie qui met en scène plein de plate-formes en 16 couleurs. Heureusement c'est toujours très fluide mais l'espèce de jouabilité limitée et répétitive tout en carton nous les casse très sérieusement, à tel point qu'on se croirait dans un Mariol. Au broyeur !

    A brilliant title. The visuals are on par with "Rayman 3," the control almost as tight as "Mario," and the quests and puzzles both epic and innovative. [Holiday 2003, p.30]

    Unfortunately, Kya is a very difficult game to play as the controls are not particularly intuitive and the camera seems to delight in going haywire during delicate jumping situations.
