    One downside is that there's a heck of a lot here that's pulled together from other games, if you're up on your gaming history you can play 'spot the element' here and rattle off a good five or so games that do bits of Ty 2 better than Ty 2 does.

    While Ty The Tasmanian Tiger 2: Bush Rescue isn't going to rock the gaming world to its foundations or win any awards, it's still an enjoyable and entertaining platform romp that will surprise those of you who decide to take a chance on it.

    The 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.

    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.

    Older audiences probably won't be engaged by it, but Ty 2 should be easily appreciated by juvenile platformer fans.

    In real life, Tasmanian tigers have been hunted to extinction, so we're getting our NOM shotgun ready to finish the job and kill Ty off.

    There's almost no variety in levels. Everything is squeezed onto one huge map.

    Whereas Ty 1 was decent, Ty 2 is good. The fact that it's all clumped together in one huge map gives it a GTA feel, the fact that all of theWhereas Ty 1 was decent, Ty 2 is good. The fact that it's all clumped together in one huge map gives it a GTA feel, the fact that all of the missions are optional is a HUGE plus, the hubworld is actually good, and the plot is more slapstick and funny than Ty 1, which I think is a GIGANTIC plus. But Shazza's truck moves a bit slow, making getting to your destination take longer than it should, and the helicopter missions...suck. It's a good game which I reccomend, but It's not a great one… Expand
