TY puts the BOOM in BOOMERANG! TY the Tasmanian Tiger 2: Bush Rescue is the sequel to Krome Studios' charming Australiana-themed videogame. This classic platformer, updated for Nintendo Switch, features more rangs, more vehicles, more bots, and more EVERYTHING... in an open world Aussie Adventure.

Throw boomerangs, bite, smash and glide your way around the Australian Outback and stop the evil plans of the wicked Boss Cass and help the good folk of the little country town of BURRAMUDGEE.

This sequel to the popular TY the Tasmanian Tiger is a game on a grander scale. In addition to classic platforming elements, you'll fight Aussie bush fires from a helicopter, drive around Southern Rivers while hanging on to the back of a four-wheel drive and use the bots to defeat enemies and solve puzzles - all while trying to find a variety of different collectables. And now, only in the HD remaster, you can customise TY's looks, and best of all there are two brand NEW never before seen boomerangs.

* Explore from the beach to the desert to the billabong and beyond in a huge open world of old-school 3D platforming glory.

* Arm yourself with 20 different boomerangs including the classic Ironbark, Flamerang and two NEW rangs!

* Brand new photo-mode.

* A wide variety of vehicles like the Fourbie, cart, and mechs.

* 7 Levels of two-player split-screen cart racing.

* Improved camera & graphics; including updated shadows, reflections and HD resolutions.

* New Gamemode called "Hardcore Mode".

* Character customisation with NEW skins for TY and paint jobs for the Fourbie!

* Play multiple ways with Nintendo Switch Joy-Con™ and motion input.

* Audio Director's cut.

THE STORY

Long ago, a great battle was fought. BOSS CASS sought out five mystic talismans, so he could banish every warm-blooded creature, to the DREAMING.

But one brave soul stood up to CASS, and thwarted his quest for the talismans. He risked all, in an effort to save his family and friends.

And in the end... he succeeded. CASS was banished for his crimes, and the land was made safe once again. All thanks to the true blue Aussie hero, TY the Tasmanian Tiger, and his friends at BUSH RESCUE.

Now, evil stirs again - the little country town of CURRAWONG is under attack, and a hero is needed once more...

Nintendo Life said:

What seemed unimpressive in 2004 now feels enjoyable and imaginative, and we're not sure what that means, exactly. It's simultaneously cheerful and challenging, and there's a lot of joy in the journey as well as the destinations. The cursed spectre of 'gameplay variety' (read: jack of all trades, master of none) looms over the material, but by making the diversions brief and ultimately simple it manages to keep the player guessing to an extent throughout its languid twelve or so hour runtime. Some backtracking and minor camera issues bring things down a touch, but overall Ty the Tasmanian Tiger 2: Bush Rescue is a surprisingly solid slice of character action, and one we fear may have been underserved at the time of its original release. This is not just a sequel that's content to rest on its laurels, and that's worthy of respect. Hooray! We made it through the whole review without any silly, lazy Aussie clichés. That's bonzer, mate!
