TY the Tasmanian Tiger 2 Reviews

TY The Tasmanian Tiger series

I wish this game was invented after fast travel was invented.

this game is my first i play in Ty The Tamanian franchise it really really really worth to buy. Don't trust me? you can watch on youtube :)))

Ok now that I have finished the game let me start by saying this has been the 2nd worst platformer/collectathon I have played/tried. Nothing really is much better here than probably boomerang mechanics and graphics than Ty 1. Everything else is such a downgrade in my opinion that it is insane why they chose these decisions...Maybe they tried copying Jak 2's edgy game sense or they came up with similar ideas due to it being the "In" thing at the time,but my god they failed horrendously to make a fun game. They ruined levels and added in Heli and bunnyip missions which makes literally every level/mission of this game the absolute worst level in other platformers. I will say two good things about this game it is short and respects your time. And it got me to chuckle at Bunnyip envy. Definetly don't recommend for fans of collectathon and platformers as this game doesn't give you the itch of wanting to collect anything and that is from the straight beginning of the game with that awful opening.

I remember having fond memories of this game, but those should've stayed as memories. The game feels rushed. The story doesn't make sense and introduces elements that don't go hand in hand with what we learn later on. The ending happens so fast and everything that happened before this had no impact. Most of the rangs are essentially useless, as they are not required for platforming nor combat. Typical to PS2 era games, this one introduces gimmicks. This time they are robots. You use each one maximum 3 times and they all suck. The basic robot is smash square, the next one is a snooze fest where you walk around slowly and pick up objects. one robot allows you to go under lava, which is essentially just slower swimming. The game is filled with the same minigame where you drive either a helicopter or submarine. They both work exactly the same and are the most mind-numbingly tedious missions to do. Instead of having beautiful levels with platforming and cool Australian scenery like the first game, the player is forced to drive a car on a small map to waste your time to enter a small and often poorly designed area with nothing interesting going on. All-in-all this is a notable downgrade from the first game that remains a classic. Bush rescue was the second entry to the series and where we can already see the downfall that is about to happen to the series. The art style, music, atmosphere and nostalgia are keeping this game afloat. So no I wouldn't recommend this game to everyone to try. But if you yearn for simpler times, maybe want to feel like a giddy child for a moment and ignore the flaws and enjoy a cool looking game, go ahead.

Game itself is fun and is nostalgic. However, the game often crashes and has blue screened me once.

Good relaxing platformer with charming characters and a relaxed setting. Its fun just to run around in some of the enviroment. I wish i had this game back on PS2 because i would have really enjoyed it.

A childhood game i remember fondly. Easy enough to just play idly and whilst listening to an audiobook.

Simple game from my childhood that I saw was ported to steam one day on sale and I decided to buy and revisit. - Excellent platforming. - Charming characters. - Large variety of boomerangs both for combat and unique navigational challenges. - Decent mission variety including piloting various vehicles. - Iconic music. - Literally like 2 GB in size. - Lots of collectibles. - Takes around 10 hours to 100% the game. - Goes on sale for like $3. - Mostly very well-optimized port. Frill Neck Forest causes some fps drops and that was the only performance hiccup in the entire game. - Not really much of a story here. Game as a whole feels very short and lacking. - Hardcore mode?? Why is this a thing? This isn't a combat-focused game and it only serves to force a second+ playthrough and redo everything again. It's unfortunately required to get all the steam achievements. - No support for advanced resolutions, playing on a 1920x1200 monitor causes letterboxing. Obviously playing this game when I'm 15+ years older than the kid I was when I first played it on the ps2, isn't going to be as entertaining. But if you're new to platformers or want a simple classic game with no fuss or stress, you will very likely enjoy this.

Great game but that stone beetle was cheap on Hardcore mode.
