I HATE any Ty The Tasmanian Tiger game that isn't the first one.

I'm not even 100% sure why exactly. It's like... the series went in a direction that just didn't sit right with me. The overworld is way too cluttered to get anything done, the characters have either lost their original personalities, or have been reworked severely.

Like for example: Ty himself just spams catch phrases over and over, barely getting in any real sentences throughout both sequels. Shazza is even more overly concerned for Ty and everyone, whereas she was much more independent and tolerable in the original. Sly is the worst offender of all; Instead of being the anti-Ty, he is now just "Ty's brother", and is in no way similar to how he was meant to be.

It really seems like, after the original was released, the publisher(EA and later Activision... yeah a good combo amirite?) decided to have more input for the sequels... hence why they suck.

Seriously, I don't understand how anyone who enjoyed the original can enjoy the sequels. They only take steps BACKWARDS. The only compliment I will pay the sequels is that they run at 60fps as opposed to the original's 30fps... but that isn't something that can save them from mediocrity.

I enjoyed the sequels, they still had a lot of fun on both of them. I did enjoy the first one better though, but I dont see how the sequels took a step backwards.. Lol. They were made Suckerpunch which later made Infamous, and I can see very similar things in Ty that are almost the same as Infamous, and Infamous is an amazing game. I liked the characters in the Ty sequels, doing quests, etc.. for them.

I think they were still fun. Like you couldn't enjoy them at all?

For the record... the sequels were developed by Krome Studios, same guys who did the original... or did Sucker Punch really do the sequels?

Anyways, I could probaly tolerate them for a few minutes, but I'd never be motivated to finish them. There's TOO MUCH to explore... it's more like Grand Theft Auto minus the sandbox freedom.

Yeah maybe it was Krome.. Lol.. and yeah I guess there is quite a bit.. but I mean it`s kind of fun to explore. Hahaha..

I think really, it's more that I prefer my games "simple". If the mechanics and overall format is complex, I tend not to feel motivated to play a game.

Then again, my expectations were also skewed quite a bit. I was expecting more of the same, what I got felt like a different game with the Ty series slapped on it at the last second.

It's not so much a hate as it is an extreme dislike.
