They may be a dime a dozen, but every once in a while a game like Daxter for PSP or Pac-Man World 2 comes around and manages to impress us all over again. The more crystals you find, the farther you progress.Įven though the 3D platformer genre may be done to death over the years, we've still got a soft spot in our collection for countless hop and pop games. The entire game has a very simple core design that we've seen countless times, as players will collect crystals which unlock new doors to varying worlds. Each area has multiple collectable items which will be needed to gain access to later levels, as well as power-up Kao with added abilities. Players will control Kao, traveling from level to level in a semi-open-ended world. It's a bit odd, but like all platformers the story takes second seat to the action. The story is basic, focusing mainly on Kao's progress as he collects 3,000 coins to bribe the doorman of Barnaba's fortress and eventually take the evil hunter down. Kao's friends are being captured by the evil hunter Barnaba, so with the aid of his allies Parrot and Firefly, Kao must explore multiple worlds in an attempt to set his friends free. The premise for Kao the Kangaroo Round 2 is amazingly simple.
Though it serves up a huge variety of platforming gameplay, the budget feel of the overall product won't end with just the price tag, as Kao the Kangaroo Round 2 lacks the refined control and polish of better attempts in its class.
Kao the Kangaroo Round 2 takes a ton of classic gameplay methods, mixes them into its own design and attempts to deliver an entertaining package at a budget price.
Licenses like Tak, Ty the Tasmanian Tiger, Spyro and Kao are just a small list of original properties that aren't quite high enough on the list to play with the big boys, but still attempt to deliver a fresh take on licensed gaming. Aside from the big league licenses, however, there seem to be a never-ending stream of under-card characters as well. Names like Mario, Zelda, Kirby and Metroid come to mind from Nintendo, and games like Ratchet and Clank, Jak and Daxter and Sly Cooper follow suit on PlayStation 2.
When looking at the gaming industry at a glance, there are a few franchises that make up the bulk of top-tier classics.
