The run-and-rang gameplay loop is simple but fun, collectibles are interesting to find, and there's even a vehicle segment.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.

The art style reflects on this and I definitely think Ty the Tasmanian Tiger (aside for the not so good cutscene animations) is a decent looking game for it's time, plus the soundtrack using a lot of instrumentation.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.

I never played this game though since I never managed to get my hands on it when I was young but I played the second game Bush Rescue religiously and even then this game managed to make me feel super nostalgic with the Australian themed soundtrack, the sound effects I recognized from Bush Rescue and to just see Ty on my screen once again.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.

On the flip side, the intro cutscene and primary story cutscenes are rendered and animated at a much higher quality, and look pretty dang awesome.
Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
14 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Such a classic game, easy controls to pick up, as well as controller support!
Bugs
Players who bring up Bugs mostly praise it.
11 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The controls and graphics have been ported over almost flawlessly, and I've never had a single issue with a glitch or bug that's prevented me from enjoying the game.
