Ty the Tasmanian Tiger - Gamecube Game (Retro Fam)

I've loved this game as a child and I still enjoy it! Got the game fast and it came with the manual! Receiving this game made my childhood flash back at me and I could not be more pleased!

If you love adventure / gathering games where you go from level to level killing enemies and gathering up items, then Ty the Tasmanian Tiger is a great game to get!The game is basically the same as Spyro and Banjo Kazooie, except you don't have a small sidekick. You go through various levels, each with its own look and feel, gathering up small items and building up your health and weapons.Your task is to gather up the lost talismans, and to power the machine to do this you have to clear each level of the 300 tokens. There are also many side-quests on each level, from timed races to freeing caged friends and more. Each type of quest uses a different set of skills - general gathering, searching for hidden items, flat out racing, fighting, and more. In addition there are tons of hidden secrets that can have you playing for weeks after you complete the base game.The game is very replayable for this reason and even though it's easy enough that you can keep moving through it without really getting stuck, finding those hidden items can be quite challenging. It's a game that the kids can enjoy for its easy enemy-slaying and item-gathering, but the adults can enjoy it too. There's a good dose of fun Aussie humor in it, plus the graphics are reasonably good, with each level having its own flavor - jungle, snow fields, forest, etc.With Ty being sold at a bargain price now, it definitely should be in the library of every GameCube owner!

I bought this for my kids ages 7 and 5. They both really enjoy this game. Great graffics and fairly easy to play. It is challenging enough so that they don't finish the entire game in one setting, but also easy enough they don't get discouraged. My husband and I have also played it and had a great time. For the price, it is definitely a great purchase!
