Film favorites Buzz Lightyear and Woody are back in action with their latest video game offering, Disney/Pixar's Toy Story 2. The cowboy Woody is in trouble in a game that closely follows the plot of the hit computer-animated flick. Although the game is obviously aimed at luring fans of the movie of the same name, it does contain gameplay that will appeal to a wider audience. Toy Story 2 is not a perfect game, but it captures the playability and humor of the film, and also has movie-quality animations and graphics.
Woody finds himself kidnapped by Al, the evil toy collector, and it's up to Buzz to save the day--with a little help from the other toys in owner Andy's room. Buzz must venture outside Andy's house and into the local neighborhood. Game environments include a perilous construction area, a toy barn, and a sky-rise apartment. Ultimately, Buzz will confront his arch nemesis, the Evil Emperor Zurg--but getting there is half the fun.
During his journey, Buzz must collect missing parts for Mr. Potato Head. He also calls on his buddies Rex, Slinky Dog, and Hamm the piggy bank for helpful tips and directions. Controls are varied but can be confusing to master. Buzz can climb, do a "super foot stomp," fire his laser, and perform a Space Ranger spin attack to help him get through the various levels.
All in all, though, this game's battle cry should be, "To mediocrity... and not much further." --Bill Hutchens

- Includes movie clips that aren't available on the Nintendo 64 version
- Probably too cute for serious gamers

Toy Story 2 Reviews
| 49 of 49 people found the following review helpful By A Customer = Durability: This review is from: Toy Story 2 (Video Game) This is an amazing game. There's even a movie clip at the beginning. The graphics and sound are superb, and no detail is left overlooked. If Buzz steps in something, he leaves a trail of footprints! The House is so realistic - very 3D and views change as you move the character, as if you're the character and you see what he sees. It feels like you're actually walking through the house. There are a number of challenges to meet; coins need to be collected for Hamm, sheep need to be rescued for Bo Peep, Mr. Potato Head needs his missing ear, Buzz races the RC car; all twists on the movie. When Buzz performs these fun and challenging heroics, the player is rewarded with Pizza Planet tokens. Very well done, absorbing to both children and adults...we're not past level one yet and if we never got to any of the other 14 levels, this game's already "done it" for my family! 58 of 60 people found the following review helpful By A Customer = Durability: This review is from: Toy Story 2 (Video Game) my son tested this at the pacific science center in seattle at the cbs toytest when we were on vacation this summer. he felt it was one of the best playstation games he's ever played and did not want to stop playing even though he exceeded the 20 minute play limit by 20 minutes! he's had it on his christmas wish list since august. 17 of 17 people found the following review helpful By A Customer = Durability: This review is from: Toy Story 2 (Video Game) This game is my 3rd personal favorite (next to Driver and Pacman 2000). It is alot of fun (endless play time, 3-d turns and in-helmet vision). the graphics are beyond great and they even include original movie footage in between challenge sites. I would highly recommend this game to anyone with a sense of adventure, but be forewarned that the 3-D turns Buzz makes can get quite frustrating due to slow camera spins (basically every time you turn to do something, you have to practically sit and wait for the "camera" to catch up with your moves: this makes you dizzy and can cause you to have trouble making accurate jumps or defense moves). Other than that, this game is the bomb! It lives up to the movie version and brings me back to being a kid at heart! i do believe the reason the camera focus is lacking is because they hurried to put the game on the market, so the game had a few glitches. Buy it! You will not regret it! You can look beyond the camera and get... Read more |
