Although I've played the PS2 version of this game,I've seen the other versions and the Xbox and Gamecube versions are basically the same. What makes Ty awesome is the enduring charm of its' own. I mean, how many games do you know that has outhouses for checkpoints for you to go back to? Given, it does take alot of ideas from other video games(like Mario, Crash, Spyro and Banjo) but its' charm was what brought me back over and over. With all the other platformers planned for the Christmas season, Ty might not be the next big hit but you can guarantee that he will definitely have a cult following of his own. I'll be amongst them, you can bet on that. Ty the Tasmanian Tiger is a cool game and definitely worth a look.

An Xbox game for kids (finally)

1. If you're a "hard core gamer" don't bother, but...

2. If you have kids that are 7 or so and want something a bit challenging, but not frustrating, this game is fun. Much better than the "Crash Bandicoot..." which was released earlier this year. I'm sure it'll get old after a fw weeks, but not as frantic as "Blinx" and something fun to play with the kids (and when they fall asleep slip in "Hunter the Reckoning.")

Ty the Tasmanian Tiger - A GREAT GAME!

I loved this game. The graphics were beautiful. Both my 3 year old son and his dad, who normally enjoys games like Mech Assault got into this game. Ever since we purchased this game, I've been looking for something comparable, but nothing comes close. I can't wait for Ty II. The bottom line, you can't go wrong with this game. It's fun, and very entertaining. Easy for little ones to play, and fun for adults as well.

An Excellent Game for Kids

This game is relatively easy, but it is quite fun nonetheless. My six year old completed the game with only a little bit of help from his dad and me. It is always difficult to find a good game that the little ones can play without becoming frustrated. This game caused no fits or meltdowns. I was really happy with the purchase and I had fun playing the game myself when my son was not monopolizing it.

Love it!

This is a fabulous platform game, in the spirit of Mario, Spyro, Crash, Banjo... There's not much truly new here except for the gorgeous graphics; but if you liked those games, you'll like this one. (One nice touch: the bosses' hit points aren't restored every time you die.)

Good one for the kids too. It's approachable, funny, and non-violent. (You toss boomerangs at cartoony enemies and they vanish in a skull-shaped puff of smoke. No gore.)

Awesome Game!

This game is a great game to play. It's not so much an easy game to play but it's no a hard either. It is smack dab in the middle. The three best features of this game are:
________________________________________

1) The weapons. There is no other game out there that would go far enough to invent different bommerangs with all different abilites.
2) The characters and enemies. Who would dress the characters up in jackets, etc. The characters are very different and unlike every other game (except Spyro, those characters are different and creative)
3)The Plot. Even know it repeats the same all "Must Find Family" routine it still gives the game something to play for.
________________________________________

This is one of my favorite games that rank right up there with Spyro, Crash, and Sonic. ... The enemies move great, Ty moves great, the camera angles are almost perfect and the game is so mych FUN to beat.

great overall game

I loved this game. My kids (7 and 4) loved this game. The graphics, music, storyline are all good. The only downside was the final ending - it tooks weeks of hard work to reaqch the final ending and then it was a bit anticlimactic since one would assume a big splash at the end and instead it was nothing special. But I still highly recommend this game to families.

Ty the Tiger rocks

I want to start off by saying I am not a die hard gamer. I like a game that you can step into to kill a few hours and walk away from it for days without totally making it impossible to continue on the game. This game is great in that area. As has been mentioned the concepts in the game are not totally new. I find it is very similar to banjo kazooee (sp?). It even uses some music that is almost dead on like when you get a cog (puzzle piece in banjo).

I also like that it is not terribly difficult and yet there are things you have to figure out. I have to say I think they did a really good job stealing the ideas from other games. I really think anyone could find things they like about this game, as long as they aren't offended by plagerism.

My only real complaint would be that the movement and viewing can be a bit clunky at times. This game isn't the best of all time but I have no regrets buying it (I can't say that about some of my other "popular" games). The best part about it to me is that it has a good feel to the game, like the "Mario Style" games of nintendo.

Cool Game Mate!!!
