Video Gaming News - April 2004
Redwood City, CA (April 8, 2004) - Electronic Arts otday announced
that TY the Tasmanian Tiger 2 will ship to stores this fall.
From EA:
TY the Tasmanian Tiger 2 picks up where the original popular action platform
game left off. The cast of characters from down under has grown, and so has the
action! The evil Boss Cass is up to his old tricks. After breaking out of
Currawong Jail, this feathered villain has re-instated himself as the
dictatorial ruler of Cassopolis, a high tech island home to lizards and birds.
Now Cass has hatched a plan to take over the world with an army of Uber
Reptiles. It’s up to our boomerang-wielding hero, TY, and his newly formed team
of Burramudgee Bush Rescue mates to stop Cass!
Set in the Outback of Australia, TY the Tasmanian Tiger 2 will offer platform
gamers a huge open environment to explore by foot and vehicle. This time around
TY is equipped with an arsenal of 21 upgradeable boomerangs, including the
Lasharang, Kaboomarang, and Megarang. In addition, the game will feature five
different “Mech units” to help TY fight large numbers of enemies and complete
mini-missions. With these “Mech units” TY will have the ability to swim under
lava; shoot lasers, Blastorangs, water or fire; and much more. TY will also be
challenged to complete driving and flying missions featuring combat and puzzle
solving, with access to helicopters, submarines, and off-road trucks. Unlockable
cart racing mini-games will allow gamers to challenge their friends in seven
unique cart racing levels.
Under development by Australia-based Krome Studios, the team behind the
original TY the Tasmanian Tiger, TY the Tasmanian Tiger 2 is scheduled for
release this fall for the PlayStationâ2 computer entertainment system, the Xbox®
video game system from Microsoft, Nintendo GameCube™, and Game Boy® Advance.
