The ultra-friendly gameplay and simplistic cartoony rendering certainly won't put the face of this new mascot on any t-shirts anytime soon. As a gameplay experience alone, the game walks a safe line that's been tread many times over in the past. Gamers who have had their share of platform collection games will find absolutely nothing new or exciting in Ty worthy of their monetary or time investment. But if you're shopping for a younger tyke who finds cartoon animals to be the next best thing since wallaby sandwiches, then Ty the Tasmanian Tiger will be a safe and simple selection.
