    It's a fun romp that often lacks originality.

    The game is also beautiful beyond measure, with water, weaving grass, snow, mud, and other terrain effects that, at least for now, are pretty much unequalled, and boast sound effects to match. [Oct 2002, p.68]
  3. Despite the fact that there is nothing really innovative presented here, Ty the Tasmanian Tiger is still a delightful romp in the old Outback.
  4. 78
    Lots of collecting to do, and extra movies and a gallery to open up, but the game is a tad short.
  5. Ty's difficulty is tuned for younger or casual gamers, but it also attempts to appeal to older players, who should still be able to appreciate the quality of the game even if it's a little on the easy side.
  6. While it has good graphics, awesome sound and decent play, the brevity of gameplay winds up selling this title short in the end.

    Great platformer type game. Lots of things to collect. Very australian... and very cool varied graphics. Game is not too difficult to Great platformer type game. Lots of things to collect. Very australian... and very cool varied graphics. Game is not too difficult to complete (probably because it's aimed for children). I hope there is a follow-up to this cool character. Full Review »
