Popular Tasmanian Tiger Returns in Action Game Featuring Huge Environments
and Host of New Boomerangs, Vehicles, Mech Units, and More.

Everyone’s favorite Tasmanian Tiger returns to take back the Outback this fall
in TY the Tasmanian Tigerâ„¢ 2, Electronic Arts 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 Cassopolis,
a high tech island home to lizards and birds. Now Cass has hatched a plan to
take over the world with an army of Uber Reptiles. It’s up to our boomerang-wielding
hero, TY, and his newly formed team of Burramudgee Bush Rescue mates to stop
Cass!

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 PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system, the Xbox® video
game system from Microsoft, Nintendo GameCube™, and Game Boy® Advance.
