JUNK!

Toy Story 2 is a great movie, but not a great game! The graphics are barely decent, it's too hard to jump high, you can't fly, and it's too simple. I'm no super-beat-a-giant-game-in-two-days person, but this is simple! I beat it in one night! The graphics are so lame it's funny. During the last levels cutscene with Woody and Andy, Woody looks is a limp lifeless pile of pixels waving his arm! You also have to waste a giant chunk of your memory pak to save the game, even though all the cartridge needs to save is the number of tokens you got. This game is better to rent and beat, rather than buy and keep. ... Most of these games are ones that people bought instead of rented, and it was such a short game, they sold it ... for a refund. And what is the major game there? Toy Story 2, of course. Buy some good stuff at the same price like Banjo-Kazooie or Mario 64.

I got this game for christmas and I wanted it so bad but I got very sad cause it ...! good grahpics and kinda good story line but when you play the controls are hard, the veiw is very hard to see where the bad guys are or wheere you are going which really ... me off, and the levels are impossible to beat. If i were you don't get it for yourself or your kids or whoever. Waste of money. I would at least rent it before buying it.

Frustration

The game could've been a lot better. The most frustrating part of this game, was the terrible camera angles that you couln't control. The graphics was decent, it could've improved if it had better lighting/shadowing effect. I had trouble with depth and distance perception because of the lack of lighting/shadowing effects (I had problems judging jumping distances and height). And one other thing, the game was really short, it took less than 2 days to finish (this includes eating, sleeping, and other required activities).

All in all... if you wanna play this game, go rent it, its not worth purchasing!

More frustration

I have to agree -- this game was frustrating. Camera angles were painful, because you have to wait for Buzz to turn around and he didn't turn around like I expected him to. Resident Evil is not of the same genre, but its camera angles were much smoother and easier to use.

While I've only rented the game and didn't have the instruction manual (probably accounting for some of its difficulty), I wouldn't buy it. In my opinion, controls should be straightforward and easy to use -- even w/o a manual. The game itself even _tells_ you how the controls work.

Graphics were nice and colorful -- something you'd expect from a cartoon based video game.

I'm 25 and *I* found some of the puzzles difficult, mostly because game control was not ideal. There are scenes that involve walking on overhead beams where I kept falling off and making several failed attempts.

There are scenes where objects are overhead and out of reach -- I have no idea how I'm supposed to jump that high.

There's a puzzle that I've solved over and over again, but the game wouldn't acknowledge the fact that I solved the puzzle.

I have no idea how they expect kids to play this game.

A poor offering for younger players

I bought this game for my son, 6. The graphics are dismal (comparedto SuperMario 64 - which he just loves). One is apt to feel sea-sickwhen playing it. Camera angles are poor. Fine control of Buzz's movements is poor. If you feel you must buy it, I would advise renting it for a few days first. END

This game made me so mad!

When you play this game, be aware, you may end up slaming your controller on the ground. In one level, you work very hard to go up a tree and it is so easy to fall. The things you have to do in the levels have NOTHING, AND I MEAN NOTHING TO DO WITH THE MOVIE! When you get a token or fifty coines,you cet a chance to go the next level(they ask you yes, or no.) If you accidently pick no, they don't ask "are you sure," so you don't get another chance to exit the level, unless you beat another of their "missions," whice seriously TEST YOUR PATIENCE!

Activision, remember Toy Story on Sega Genesis? That was fun. This isn't.

not that good

I bought the game the day after I got a my nintendo 64. I was really excited. But... the graphics are disapointing, you can never tell where you are going because the camera is all over the place, and Buzz is hard to control. If you are older say 11 or above you could probably play this. But kids at that age are not interested in that type of game. Now a little one who's going to really want it is going to get very frustrated with the game. It's VERY disapointing. Little kids will not be able to beat the some-what difficult levels. But... the levels are accurate to the movie and Buzz's voice is excellent

BLAND, STALE, LIFELESS 4.25 OUT OF 10

This game simply put, is not fun. While it seems apparent that developer Traveler's Tales tried to make this game good, they weren't successful. This game feels bland and stale because the levels are dull and uneventful, full of too much repetition with the platforming, the controls don't feel intuitive and kinda suck, and the game feels like it's on life support. The lifeless feel of the game are the stupid enemies, the worthless challenges, endless coin collecting, and no level feels alive, it just feels like a braindead game. The highlights of the game are the decent shooter controls, some interesting sections of levels, and some okay graphics. Buzz Lightyear seems fully aware that he sucks on this game when he says "You're mocking me aren't you?" because he's an idiot and can't jump certain distances without falling endless times. Plus the game's camera rotates itself for you which is a real pain. Only watch the Toy Story movies, just don't play the games.

This game is ok.

Disney presents us with another mediocre offering of a video game port of an otherwise great movie in "Toy Story 2."

Gameplay more or less follows the plot of the movie -- Al steals Woody and you (Buzz) must traverse the neighborhood in order to rescue your friend.

The game's theory is an awful lot like Mario 64 -- There are objectives to be completed in each level for which you get tokens (read: stars). After you collect X tokens, you go to the next level. Buzz can get power-ups (read: caps) by helping Mr. Potato Head find missing body parts)

Good stuff: Kids will find the first few levels and their charcters "cute." The first level or two is actually quite easy. I was able to find all the tokens on the first level in about 1/2 hour. the phrases Buzz says when he is just standing there almost make the game worth while (You're mocking me, aren't you?) Some of the solutions for getting tokens require a little creative thought and experimenting.

Bad Stuff: I found the camera angles absolutely awful. Buzz is NEVER looking where you need him to. Buzz's control is terrible. Some of the jumps, double jumps and "fine-line" walking is almost impossible. The characters' voices (except for Buzz) are NOT those of the actors from the film. They just sound 'wrong' and get annoying quick. Some tokens require you to complete objectives in later levels (You can't get Rocket Boots to beat RC Car in one race unless you help Mr. Potato Head three or four levels in the future) -- an aspect I find annoying in a game that is supposed to be following a plot (Buzz didn't have to go back to Andy's house to get something to save Woody in the movie, so why should I have to go back in the game to get stuff)

In a nutshell: Rent this game - once. DO NOT BUY IT. Especially if you love a.) Toy Story b.) N64 gaming. You WILL be disappointed. Small children WILL get frustrated at the length of gameplay and the difficulty of control.
