    I have now bought 2 copies of Ty 3 (since I enjoyed the first one). I had started with buying Ty 2, but had to return it due to a stratch that made it freeze. I buy my games used and the stored hasn't had any more Ty2's. i have now bought 2 of the Ty 3's. With both of them, they would never load.

    Despite the game's graphics, nothing else really make fans dislike this third installment of the platformer series. This installment has a so much better plot than the predecessor, many twists and conflicts. There's also new vechiles to control to, one is the Crabmersible which helps you to travel from one place to another and it's faster than the Fourbie in the second game.

Another is a war plane called Gunyip, really good in on-air fights. Our hero Ty has a new weapon, the Shadow Gauntlet, which kills the enemies called Quinkan who could not be killed by Ty's usual boomerangs. Still, Ty has his boomerangs to kill other enemies.… Expand

    Night 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,Night of the Quinkan hardly improves upon its predecessors, but still offers some mildly diverting platforming gaming.

    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. It's a good game though, but Jak Daxter succeeds over it.

    WARNING: This game only plays in fat PS2 consoles. If you try to play this in a slim model it will not load.
    The game is okay. Not bad. Not great. Fun enough.

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

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

    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.
