An aggressively mediocre mascot 3D platformer. The camera is generally tied to your character's direction with no freecam, and that's the best case scenario because sometimes the fixed camera angles make it extremely difficult to pinpoint where you need to jump. Kao has pretty high gravity and not a lot of ground or air speed either, so jumping often feels pretty precarious and you'll find yourself missing a lot of jumps. Missing a jump will result in instadeath in most cases due to how many pits there are scattered throughout. Combat is also pretty bad because your attack has very limited range and you move pretty slowly, so most enemies will outrange you and outspeed you; more often than not they will notice you and you'll be forced to take damage, and good luck running away when almost every character can move faster than you. And don't even get me started on the 3rd boss, which has some of the jankiest hit detection I've ever seen in a videogame.

You probably shouldn't play this game, but DEFINITELY don't play this on PC, which uses tank controls for some reason. Also, the controls for putting down a checkpoint are L + X, which the game never bothers telling you (so I did end up playing a majority of the game without checkpoints, which really sucked for most of the longer levels). All in all, Ty the Tasmanian Tiger remains the far better Aussie 3D platformer and there are far better games to spend your time on.
