Quotes:

[first lines]
Bunyip Elder: Long ago, a great battle was fought. Boss Cass sought five mystic talismans, so he could banish all warm blooded creatures to the Dreaming. But one brave soul stood up to Cass and thwarted his plans for domination. He risked all in attempt to save his family and friends. And in the end, he truimphed. Cass was banished for his crimes, all thanks to the efforts of one lone hero, Ty the Tasmanian Tiger.

One for the kids.

I'm 16, and sat through this and played it. Took me roughly three days. And I have a weird urge to go back to it and get to 100%. Why? I don't know. It certainly isn't the best game on the market, but isn't the worst. (BTW...first review ever. Go easy on me.) Graphics:- Truth be told, these aren't the best on the PS2. Krome Studios didn't use the consoles graphics capabilities to their advantage, but there IS lots of colour. Lots and lots. Lots of nice colours. It's the impact of colours which makes it look quite...Australian. 6.5/10 Sound:- It's theme tune is in my head. The music is repetitive at times, but seems to be aimed at kids. Lots of didgeridoos. The voice actors are okay, though there are only a few actors in this game that really fit the characters. 6.5/10 Gameplay:- Running around, throwing boomerangs at enemies? Meh. The controls for the most part are fine, save for the truck driving. I hate the truck controls. 6/10 Story:- As you'd expect. Bad guy wants to take over world, blah blah, and it's up to you to stop him and his croonies...doing good-deeds along the way. 5/10 Overall:- There are some things I really like about this game. I find it quite 'charming' in a way. For the majority of people my age, however, it can be found rather boring. Kids, however, will love this. Which must mean that I'm a kid at heart, really. So, overall, 7.9/10.
