    Variety, accessibility, value, fun and buckets of content is what the TY the Tasmanian Tiger franchise is all about, and never has Krome done a better job at pulling all of these elements together than they have in TY 3.

    Night of the Quinkan has a really nice control scheme and plays really well. The platforming elements, racing, and combat are all really tuned well.

    Something a bit more aboriginal would be nice too... it's definitely time for Ty to get some edge. [Nov p.95]

    There is no doubt that fans of the series will be more than satisfied with the new levels, story, weapons, and vehicles.

    The levels, though beter designed this time around, still aren’t interesting enough to enjoy playing through.

    It would have been good to see the game's accessibility for beginners complemented by combination moves for more skilled players.

    But the Ty series has never been original and this latest version feels like a copy of a copy. Gamers who played and didn't like the other two versions will find nothing new here and Ty fans may find themselves wondering why very little has changed.

    Ty's biggest drawback is a lack of action. [Nov 2005, p.94]

    Minor frustrations and inconsistency compound a game that's not very good in the first place, making it one of the least appealing platformer choices currently on the market.

    Anyone looking for a lengthy, varied platformer with hidden secrets up the wazoo and tongue-in-cheek humor should find themselves enjoying Night of the Quinkan more than they would have expected.

    A game that is a little more fun to play than it sounds simply due to the easy and fun game play. Unfortunately the graphics and story are weak. Also the same easy game play that makes it fun also makes this title quickly find its way to the bottom of your entertainment center drawer.

    This game is just as good as the second. It still doesn't beat the first, and I can't completely recommend it with its mission based games.This game is just as good as the second.

    Night of the Quinkan hardly improves upon its predecessors, but still offers some mildly diverting platforming gaming. Pros: MoreNight of the Quinkan hardly improves upon its predecessors, but still offers some mildly diverting platforming gaming. Pros: More action-adventure elements and varied gameplay, great graphics, visuals, and control, and much more difficult and lengthier than the series has been. Cons: Improves little upon its predecessors other than some sparky gameplay and visual spark, repetitive combat, and still lacks the charm it "thinks" it has.… Full Review »
