   2001 saw the release of Kao the Kangaroo on Dreamcast and PC, a platformer in which a loveable Kangaroo is taken from his home land and must jump and box his way back to his antipodean home.

   Kao the Kangaroo 2 combines the same generic gameplay we’ve seen time and time again and delivers it at a budget price during the tail-end of this generation of consoles. While the design was obviously geared towards kids, Kao still lacks the necessary polish to be recommended, even at its price, and the overall difficulty may prove it to be a bit too harsh for its audience. The characters and environments are amazingly generic as well and the graphical and audio... Read more

   Children will also love this game as it offers a good deal of action, adventure, puzzles, boss battles, talking animals, and deeply beautiful scenery. While Kao the Kangaroo: Round 2, is in no way a ground breaking game, it does offer a pleasant experience to gamers who will enjoy a game that brings back memories of past platformers. Read more

   Getting straight to the point, dear reader: the development process for Kao the Kangaroo: Round 2 seems to have consisted of little more than checking the relevant platforming boxes. The game is such a mish-mash of videogaming clichés: the amount of intertextuality here almost trumps the masterful WarioWare. You see, every corner brings another episode of déjà vu. Kao’s Miyamoto-influenced signature butt-stomp. The set-piece stages that see you constantly fleeing,... Read more

   KAO the Kangaroo does very little wrong, but there is one big glaring flaw and that's the length of time that it will take the average gamer to complete the game and unfortunately that's not very long at all. That said there's reason to go back if you didn't fully explore the levels and grab all the items, but it's still all over too soon. The casual and younger platform fan will find much to love here, whilst there's still a good short-lived adventure in here for the... Read more

   Not original Not lengthy Not life changing Just a whole hell of a lot of fun for £20 with a character that hasn't been shoved down your throat by marketing companies. Refreshing and genuinley enjoyable that will not challenge hardcore platform gamers BUT is one of the few titles enjoyable enough to watch and play that it can provide a weekend of entertainment for all. Give it a go, you will be surprised with how much fun this is! Read more
