EA Announces Ty the Tasmanian Tiger 2
(Press Release)
REDWOOD
CITY, Calif. – April 8, 2004 – Everyone’s favorite Tasmanian Tiger
returns to take back the Outback this fall in TY the Tasmanian Tiger™
2, Electronic Arts (NASDAQ: ERTS) announced today. 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 Cassopo 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
