Kao will trek across five regions and more than 20 levels filled with punching and hopping action, including locales based on Antarctica, Australia, and more. In addition to his glovecovered paws, Kao can perform tail swipes, throw boomerangs, and master other techniques as he confronts over 30 different enemy types during his quest to free his animal friends. To help Kao achieve his goal, players will be able to enlist the services of a whale and pelican to cross dangerous terrain, as well as jump onto a snowboard, or into a catapult and water barrel to discover new areas. Players will also be able to acquire an assortment of powerups during their globetrotting adventure. ~ Scott Alan Marriott, All Game Guide
