Ty the Tasmanian Tiger 2: Bush Rescue

Good

EA heads back down under with its furry, kid-friendly mascot. Read Review

TY the Tasmanian Tiger 2: Bush Rescue picks up where the original action/platformer left off. The Evil Boss Cass has broken out of Currawong Jail and hatched a plan to take over the world. It's now up to our boomerang-wielding hero and his newly formed team of Burramudgee Bush Rescue mates to stop him before its too late! To do so, TY has access to an arsenal of 21 upgradeable boomerangs, a large collection of mini-games, mech unit helpers, and kart racing sidequests. Players can even interact with a cast of more than 100 different characters while challenging their way through 50 unique missions that benefits from Krome Studios' proprietary "Living Environment Technology" engine.

Just in time for the November election comes TY the Tasmanian Tiger 2: Bush Rescue. No doubt EA will quickly follow up this release with TY 3: Kerry Krusade. OK, so that's a lie, but EA is free to steal the idea. No, the Bush Rescue here refers to the title character's band of heroes that have dedicated themselves to saving the Outback. When the original TY was released, character-based platform games were being released at the rate of about 17 per day, so you're excused if you didn't play it. This time around, developer Krome Studios is determined to make the sequel stand out from the crowd. Read More »
