80The frustration many hit during punishing sections in this sort of game is never allowed to develop. All the skill moves still require the right touch; the designers simply opened the window of what constitutes the "right" touch just enough to let everyone in (with some practice).
-
Ty 2 seems to have it all: a huge open environment, gorgeous graphics, superb production values, myriad fluffy animals with Australian accents, and a ton of different gameplay styles. [Jan 2005, p.107]
-
79The separate cart racing game is a nice addition, weapon pickups and all, although you'll need to run a few races to get used to the wider turning radius of the different carts.
-
78Bush rescue will certainly appeal to the younger generation, and the older generation will enjoy TY2's depth and overall immersive quality.
-
78One of the best things about Ty the Tasmanian Tiger 2: Bush Rescue is that it is on a discounted price. Another thing that this game has going for it is that it is extremely "kid friendly."
-
76The game's graphics are charming and colorful, and certainly very child-friendly. The many levels you'll find are of a respectable size and with many things to do, but in pure technical terms, none of this will "wow" an experienced gamer.
-
To say Ty 2 is big would be an understatement. Krome has Super Sized it, spreading their funky animal kingdom as far and wide as the outback itself. [Dec 2004, p.81]
-
72It is rare to find anything that can hold a five year olds attention for more then 20 minutes; well, Ty2 repeated the first installment's rapture. The game is actually too hard for her, but she kept trying till she could get no farther, then it became mine to play.
-
70If you don't complete it far too quickly, you may become bored of the missions or the story.
-
70Succeeds as a simple, lighthearted platformer. It lacks the challenge and depth of other titles in the genre, namely Super Mario Sunshine and Sly 2: Band of Thieves, but offers nifty features like sprawling environments and a unique style to help offset its deficiencies.
-
70Older audiences probably won't be engaged by it, but Ty 2 should be easily appreciated by juvenile platformer fans.
-
70Imagine a GTA-like gigantic world set in a cartoon-like Australian Outback universe, complete with mini-games and sidequests to distract from the main quest. That's what Ty 2 delivers for under twenty bucks.
-
70Obviously targeted at a younger audience, and it lacks that extra kick we expect from our 90 proof platformers, but it's still not bad. [Dec 2004, p.79]
-
It's geared toward younger gamers specifically because the level of difficulty and simplicity alleviates boredom.
-
Shockingly decent. [Dec 2004, p.170]
-
70Though getting through Ty 2 is particularly easy, it would likely be enough of a challenge for younger players to make this a good gateway game. The same humor, scripting, and play mechanics that feel childish to experienced players will be new and entertaining to those without experience.
-
Mission objectives are not always clear and some youngsters might get lost or frustrated at the lengthy travelling between missions, but there is always something fun to see or do.
-
Graphically, it's definitely improved, but that's not going to save Ty from his own mediocrity. [Nov 2004, p.149]
-
67Ty's game play is simple to pick up and play, while it merits enough challenge to make even veteran platform junkies scratch their heads for a bit.
-
Ty 2 is in no way a bad game, it's just merely average in just about every way.
-
Bottom line, this game is simply not worth taking the time to play.
-
60Overly sophisticated elements have been held back to appeal to the younger gamer but some hugely tricky jumping puzzles are bound to cause frustration. Luckily, gameplay is varied. If you get stuck, you can hit the road, and before long you'll be faced with a different challenge.
-
60The problem lies in how far apart these missions are in relation to each other, making it seem like the developers are forcing you to explore the world instead of giving you the option.
-
Ty manages to be a particularly average and uninspiring kart racer as well a particularly average and uninspiring action adventure, with opals.

ReneeN.9I think it is a 9.0 because of the way it is made and how fun and exiting it is!
