\"\"<\/a>Back in the late 90s and early 2000s, 3D platformer mascot characters were all the rage.\u00a0 One such character was Ty the Tasmanian Tiger.\u00a0 And just like his extinct animal counterpart, Ty hasn\u2019t been heard from in a long time.\u00a0 Until now. \u00a0Originally released on PC ten years ago, Ty the Tasmanian Tiger 4: Bush Rescue Returns has been remade on Switch.\u00a0 And surprisingly, it\u2019s a 2D platformer, not a 3D one!\u00a0 It may be to celebrate the game\u2019s 10th<\/sup> anniversary, or the whole series 20th<\/sup> anniversary.\u00a0 Help Ty and his Bush Rescue animal friends in Australia save the day as he runs, jumps, and uses his boomerangs to attack.\u00a0 Interestingly enough, the makers of this game, Krome Studios, are also based in Australia.\u00a0 They also made Game Room, which I played a lot back on the Xbox 360.<\/p>\n

Anyway, in this game, Ty can run, jump, and glide if you hold down the jump button while in the air.\u00a0 He can also throw boomerangs that slightly hone in on targets and are very quick. And you \u00a0have a bite move that you mostly use to chomp on these propeller things to reach high places, or to deliver a blow to a boss character.\u00a0 As you play, you\u2019ll meet with all sorts of Australian animals and members of the Bush Rescue Team who will need your help.\u00a0 You\u2019ll have main goals and secondary goals where you must collect koala kids, special fruits, and more.\u00a0 But the most important thing to collect are opals, which are these red ball things that are scattered all over the place.\u00a0 You can use these to buy new boomerangs in the shop as well as different outfits for Ty.\u00a0 Other collectables include pieces of pie to restore your health.\u00a0 After you defeat a boss, you\u2019ll get a special boomerang that has elemental powers like fire or ice, which can help you burn obstacles or put out fires, depending on the situation.\u00a0 If you lose all your health, you must start over at the last checkpoint (which looks like an outhouse).\u00a0 Luckily you get unlimited lives and continues.<\/p>\n

I had a few minor problems with this game.\u00a0 Sometimes goals and objectives were a little unclear, and the controls could be a bit squirrely at times.\u00a0 The game also isn\u2019t very long and doesn\u2019t really do anything new to add to the 2D platforming genre.\u00a0 I can think of a lot better 2D platformers, but this one isn\u2019t too bad.\u00a0 If you can\u2019t get enough of these kinds of games, you may want to give this one a try.<\/p>\n

Kid Factor:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ty the Tasmanian Tiger 4: Bush Rescue Returns is rated E for Everyone with an ESRB descriptor of Mild Fantasy Violence.\u00a0 Your enemies are cartoony animals like frilled lizards who just disappear in a puff of smoke when defeated.\u00a0 When you run out of energy, you just fall over and start back at the last checkpoint.\u00a0 Reading skill is helpful for the text, but most of it has spoken voice along with it.\u00a0 Younger gamers may need help with the tougher obstacles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
