Prepare for marsupial madness with punch packing, tail spinning, boomerang lobbing, KAO chaos, with the release of KAO THE KANGAROO: ROUND 2. On the search to save his kidnapped animal friends, Kao must journey across the arid lands of OZ, down to the sunless depths of the world's oceans, and face tough challenges, including confronting the treacherous evil hunter, Barnaba and his nefarious crew. Published by JOWOOD PRODUCTIONS SOFTWARE AG and exclusively distributed in the UK by KOCH MEDIA, Kao the Kangaroo: Round 2 is available on PLAYSTATION 2, XBOX, AND GAMECUBE SRP £29.99 from 15th April 2005.

Kao's adventure will take him from 'Beaver Forest', through 'Thunder Mountain', deep beneath the undiscovered 'Ocean Lands' and finally to the forlorn 'Treasure Island'. But getting there is not going to be without peril!! With a thunderous avalanche in hot pursuit, Kao must hop on his snowboard and slide down the icy 'Canyon of No Return', take flight across the oceans with the help of 'Carlos the Crazy Pelican', ride the rocky mine cart and compete in a high speed boat pursuit. After conquering the quests Kao will finally capture a glimpse of Barnaba's ship, the setting for the final battle between good and evil!

Not content with being a little handy with his fists, the kick ass kangaroo must master 7 new fighting techniques to pound his enemies with. A destructive tail attack will send his foes into a dizzy spin and a slam jump to knock any opponent off their feet. And what Ozzy kangaroo isn't complete without his trusty Boomerang for defeating those hard to reach henchmen?
