TY the Tasmanian Tiger 2: Bush Rescue is the sequel to Krome Studios’ charming Australiana-themed videogame. This classic platformer, updated for Nintendo Switch, features more rangs, more vehicles, more bots, and more EVERYTHING… in an open world Aussie Adventure.

    Throw boomerangs, bite, smash and glide your way around the Australian Outback and stop the evil plans of the wicked Boss Cass and help the good folk of the little country town of BURRAMUDGEE.

    This sequel to the popular TY the Tasmanian Tiger is a game on a grander scale. In addition to classic platforming elements, you’ll fight Aussie bush fires from a helicopter, drive around Southern Rivers while hanging on to the back of a four-wheel drive and use the bots to defeat enemies and solve puzzles – all while trying to find a variety of different collectables. And now, only on the HD remaster, you can customize TY’s looks, and best of all there are two brand NEW never before seen boomerangs.

    What seemed unimpressive in 2004 now feels enjoyable and imaginative, and we're not sure what that means, exactly. It's simultaneously cheerful and challenging, and there's a lot of joy in the journey as well as the destinations. The cursed spectre of 'gameplay variety' (read: jack of all trades, master of none) looms over the material, but by making the diversions brief and ultimately simple it manages to keep the player guessing to an extent throughout its languid twelve or so hour runtime. Some backtracking and minor camera issues bring things down a touch, but overall Ty the Tasmanian Tiger 2: Bush Rescue is a surprisingly solid slice of character action, and one we fear may have been underserved at the time of its original release. This is not just a sequel that's content to rest on its laurels, and that's worthy of respect. Hooray! We made it through the whole review without any silly, lazy Aussie clichés.

    If you enjoyed the first game then you'll have a blast with TY the Tasmanian Tiger 2: Bush Rescue HD. It's full of furry friends, loads of gameplay variety, and oodles of collectibles and upgrades that are supremely rewarding to unlock.

    Bush Rescue is a hard game to fully recommend, especially at its high price-tag. Those looking for a sweet hit of nostalgia won’t be disappointed – this is an excellent port and runs smoothly in handheld and docked modes – but anyone expecting a hidden gem will only find a title with a rough edge too many.

    I loved the original ty the Tasmanian tiger, infact the hd release of the original made my top 25 games of 2020 list.. so needless to say I was excited to hop into the sequel.. and this is one of the most disappointing sequels of all time… instead of inspired collectathon 3d platofmring, ty the tsmanian tiger 2 is more action, 3rd person shooter feeling….because of course it is.. its from the year 2004, theres also a dash of crt racing thrown in there.. I was so excited to explore new levels, find collectables, and experience some 3D platofmring joy again, and then im just thrown into this bare bones feeling jak 2 knock off… looing back, players at the time loved it… but really it didn’t take much to impress in 2004, if you have an open world, game of the year..
    Gamers bak then thought the original halo was a good game.
    I modern superken in 2021 was bored out of my mind from start to finish of this 7 hour long game… youre basically running to spots on a map, just to press buttons, or do an annoying helicopter sequence.. or run some sandwiches and sunscreen to a beach… ocassionally getting into a mech or running through a floaty feeling platforming section, collecting orbs to unlock new boomerangs to just unlock new missions and solve more problems for everyone else…
    problems that again, aren’t even fun to solve..
    I went into this game with high hopes, but I just knew from the beginning sequence that TY 2 was going to be one of those soulless games chasing whatever the thing was at the time…
    and this is what we get…
    It wants to be Jak, it wants to be mario, it wants to be Mario kart… and doesn’t even have a sliver of the personality those games have.
    I give
    TY THE TASMANIAN TIGER 2: BUSH RESCUE HD
    a 4/10
