About This Game:
Rating: E for Everyone. Publisher: EA Games. Year: 2002.
This is a charming 3-D adventure game in the style of Crash Bandicoot. This game, in its entirety, is beautifully animated. The characters are all pretty cute and harmless. You'll find it hard to put this game down. The design is so colorful and engaging that it pulls you in. I also find the Australian voices of the characters amusing. Best of all, this game isn't lame. There is plenty of action and things to do. I don't think any kid will find this boring. I'm an adult, and I love it!
History: Krome Studios designed this first game in the Ty series, which saw release on three platforms in 2002: Playstation 2, Xbox, and GameCube.
In 2004, a second Ty game called "Bush Rescue" was released on all three mentioned platforms, PLUS the Game Boy Advance. In this year, DPS Film Roman and Krome Studios said they were planning an animated cartoon series based on the game, but it never materialized.
In May of 2005, Activision and Krome Studios signed a co-publishing agreement for the third game in the series, called "Ty the Tasmanian Tiger 3: Night of the Quinkan". It was released that October.
Ty the Tasmanian Tiger is a wonderful video game character, but for some reason he hasn't quite reached the popularity he deserves. It might be because of his similarity to the Crash Bandicoot character that came first and was already very well-established. Another reason might be the fact that in the 2000 decade, the masses' taste in games leaned toward the dark, scary stuff like the horror/sci-fi epics of "Resident Evil", "Doom", and "Halo".
I hope Ty is a character that stays around, in some form or another, for a long time. He's as clever a concept as Mario, Crash Bandicoot, Sonic the Hedgehog, and others.
