Description

TY 2 is a 3D Platformer with an Australian theme. (Prepare to dust off the Aussie-English dictionary you bought after watching Crocodile Dundee... You'll need it!) You play as TY, a Tasmanian Tiger, armed with sharp teeth and boomerangs a-plenty. On your quest to defeat the evil Boss Cass and his army of cold-blooded Frilled Lizards, you must assist the colorful residents of Burramudgee Town and the Southern Rivers, who include a tree frog, a lyre bird, a platypus family, some kangaroos and more koalas than you can shake a didgeridoo at.

While most of the game is standard platform fare, there are some diversions. Notably, there are a number of cart racing tracks which can be played with a friend. Also, there are missions that will put you in giant robots, each with a different specialty (One is good at battle, one can put out fires, one is a submarine, etc.).

The word "Unique" must be used in any description of this title. After all, there aren't many titles which have you throwing electrified boomerangs at robotic dinosaurs in the Outback, then send you up in a helicopter to rescue sheep stranded by a flood, then have you clear a road following a traffic accident. And finally, to top it all off, the save/continue points are outhouses...
