Amazon.com Review

For those who are looking for an entertaining experience on a par with the last two Toy Story movies, Buzz Lightyear of Star Command might not be the best pickup. Not only is this title simplistic, but also it lacks the control and graphics that are necessary to forgive such gameplay shortcomings. It's a sluggish and redundant use of a popular license.

The object of the game is for players to run through levels, as they try to catch up with bosses, whom they must fight to advance. Power-ups, such as rockets and hoverboards, are plentiful, but defeating enemies takes far too many shots, and trying to control Buzz feels a lot like trying to steer a bus. In other words, Buzz feels a lot heavier than he ought to, even in that oversize space suit.

The graphics in this game are clean, but they repeat often, and the overhead view almost made us forget whom we were struggling to control. This one is only for those who couldn't get enough of the PlayStation version, and need a copy for the road. --Robb Guido

Pros:

• It's Buzz Lightyear

Cons:

• Average graphics and difficult control

4.0 out of 5 stars Buzz's mission, December 17, 2000

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Buzz Lightyear of Star Command (Game Cartridge)

This game is pretty good exept level 9 it is un beatable but the rest of the game is pretty easy. In the game you race the boss through their level and if you beat the boss (example Warp Darkmatter lv. 8)you have to fight'em, if you beat'em then you advance to the next level. The graphics are an 8.5.the game is pretty good.

P.S. a code for lv. 9 is "LBVBB"

3.0 out of 5 stars an ok game, December 12, 2003

This review is from: Buzz Lightyear of Star Command (Game Cartridge)

if you whant 3d action you should go some were else. if your going on a trip and you need something to do in the car or on the plane... go some were else. this is a game that i beat in an hour. the only level that is any trouble is the very last one with zerg. DO NOT BUY THIS GAME!!! RENT IT! this is a game you play when you get bored. in order to use a wepon you have to have money but you can only have a total of five coins and if you whant to get on a jump jst or a hover bored you need to use all of it. you can only get on you jet or board for more than 2 minutes any way. the best wepon is iether the bazzooka or the machine gun. and when you fight the boss of the level it tells you what his *CURRENT* weakness is. and again RENT THIS GAME. DO NOT BUY IT!!!

good:
this is a game based off of the movie star command.

you get to fight buzz's old partner.

Bad:
you need money to get a different wepon other than the weak blaster.

there is no multi player games

you can't even turn around
