Xbox Critic Reviews

Rescue very nearly outclasses every other cutesy platformer on Xbox. [Nov 2004, p.90]

The frustration many hit during punishing sections in this sort of game is never allowed to develop. All the skill moves still require the right touch; the designers simply opened the window of what constitutes the "right" touch just enough to let everyone in (with some practice).

An A-grade platform adventure romp that is enjoyable for anyone regardless of their age. It’s a bit too easy for veteran gamers, and the scenery pop-ups can distract, but neither detracts from the top-notch experience.

The separate cart racing game is a nice addition, weapon pickups and all, although you’ll need to run a few races to get used to the wider turning radius of the different carts.

It’s free-roaming landscape, charming characters, solid platform action and fun multiplayer cart racing mode will hook you right away, mates.

The game’s audio package perfectly complements the joyful atmosphere presented visually.

Ty 2's uncomplicated game play, straightforward story, and friendly quality create a fun experience for younger gamers and could provide a couple of hours distraction for older players.

More boomerangs, much more diverse gameplay.

To say Ty 2 is big would be an understatement. Krome has Super Sized it, spreading their funky animal kingdom as far and wide as the outback itself. [Dec 2004, p.81]

Does a fairly decent job at offering younger gamers (and the young at heart) a bit of fun through a wide variety of mission objectives, tons of vehicles, and humongous, streaming worlds. Even though it is imaginative in areas, it doesn’t offer the seasoned action-platform gamer anything innovative or extraordinary over what Mario, Sonic, Crash, et. al. have been doing for quite some time.
