    The game is obscenely generic, wildly frustrating and simply not worth the time. Kids will throw tantrums and adults will pull out their hair. I fear Kao is headed straight for the video game character wasteland, populated by such notables as "Aero the Acrobat," "Bubsy" and "Michael Jackson."

Kao the Kangaroo's character design is ADORABLE and the game plays solidly too. You can even place down your own checkpoints! Unfortunately, it doesn't use the dream casts full potential and looks like a budget N64 title. Also, this is pretty much baby's first Crash Bandicoot. If you own a Dreamcast and you're into obscure B-Grade platform ears, I recommend you check this game out. It's not very good, but it's not bad either.… Full Review »
