    A great game if you like cutsey, bright graphics and that simply fun appeal. But, if you're expecting a glorious game filled with action/adventure, you'd be disappointed. if you're interested in this game I'd at least get it used or rent it.

    A solid game, but it lacks the creative spirit of the original title.

    Unlike the first game, this one's more well known and better. It looks good, has personality, and Kao is as cute as ever. It plays well too and Kao is A LOT faster than in the first game, which is a plus. But, you can't place your own checkpoints anymore and is pretty much a stripped-down version of Rayman 2: the Great Escape. I still recommend it, as it's pretty damn good.

But it's nowhere near as good as some other platformers out there… Expand

    Even though it might be over too quickly for platforming veterans, those who like action from the word go will find their long lost pal in Kao the Kangaroo 2. With an enormous and linear breath of fresh air feeling, this game puts the cool back in old school and will have most gamers jumping for joy for as long as it lasts!

    Snootier reviewers may give it a pass as it doesn't offer much in the way of innovation or challenges, but it still delivers action-packed excitement. However, it's pretty short and there's not a whole lot of incentive to replay it after finishing.

    Sure, Kao the Kangaroo: Round 2 does absolutely nothing to push the genre forward; but it's hard to deny that the game is a very fun distraction while it lasts.
