If you're looking for some fast-paced action, this game is a diversion on a rainy day. Actually, there's enough game play to last several weeks, if you can make it through all eleven levels, which we did thanks to some cheat codes from the company. The goal is to steer Buzz through each level before time runs out and eventually save Woody from the Prospector. Buzz has some nice moves- he can jump, duck, ride Bullseye the horse and can even fly. In order to win each level, you need to find hidden gold coins, switches and hidden routes. Too many zaps from a bad toy can drain Buzz's batteries and send you back to the start. All in all, this is a fun game, but might be too hard for many of the younger children likely to be interested in the Toy Story theme.
Teaches: game play, strategy

4.0 out of 5 stars Programming for Playstation doesn't play well on PC, May 26, 2000

This review is from: Toy Story 2 Action Game (CD-ROM)

This is a great looking game with beautiful colors, graphics, and backgrounds. The levels are challenging and extensive. Our favorite Toy Story characters are all here (although Woody doesn't show up until near the end). The puzzles vary in difficulty from kindergarten to adult.

The problem with the PC version is it's extreme awkwardness to control. The controls operate relative to where the character is, not the angle the the player is watching from. With a constantly adjusting camera angle, this makes for difficult navigation. Another tricky thing is the 3-D rendering. Most objects aren't visable until you are right next to them, which made finding them difficult.

This game is suggested for ages 8 and up. Some of the puzzles are appropriate for this age group, but I can't imagine an 8-year old getting past some of the levels. Some of the "missions" are so difficult that even an adult has to try them over and over and over to finish them. (Perhaps this is a plus for adults, though?)

Although this game was hard to get used to in terms of maneuvering (one never does "get used" to it exactly), and it was obviously created for use on a game system, and not on PC, it was a great-looking game with plenty of challenge to keep even adults busy for days. The bonus movies are a treat, and the hilarious clips make you WISH the movie was out on DVD already.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fast Action Fun, January 10, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Toy Story 2 Action Game (CD-ROM)

I am 12 years old and I have enjoyed playing this 3-D, fast action game. It has challenging levels, and right when you think you're on top, you have to go back and figure out some more! I have had no problems with lock-ups, black screens, and all that other stuff that other people have been talking about, though there may be problems in slower computers. Much more advanced than the original Toy Story video game! Definetly worth all $30!

This review is from: Toy Story 2 Action Game (CD-ROM)

This game is a great game. We got this game thru scholastic and have played ever since we got it. It has good graphics, sound effects, and even clips from the movie. To get more clips, you've got to win levels and zones. Right now, I am trying to beat Zurg! It's a great game and worth the money. It was easy to install and has never frozen up on us. It works perfectly every time.
