Description

Much like every other platform game ever made, you control a character around a 3D world full of deadly (and not so deadly) characters. In this case, Kao the Kangaroo has been stolen from his home, and you must help him get back to the great land down under. To aid his quest, Kao wears boxing gloves, which he can use to bump the bad guys clear out of the way.

Trivia

Although the IGN reviewer didn't understand why a kangaroo would wear a pair of boxing gloves (check the site for details), the boxing glove kangaroo is a very important symbol in Australia, even more important than the national flag. It's used mainly at international sporting events (have a look at the many tapes of the Sydney Olympics and you'll see plenty of them)
