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!

Toy Story 2 is done well. I think that the game follows the movie fairly good. I like how some of the levels (Al's penthouse) look almost like they did in the movie!

Detail: I don't think that the detail is as good as it could have been. Voice: Buzz's voice was excellent! It's done very well. Rememorble lines like: "You're mocking aren't you?" or "I am Buzz Lightyear! I come in peace." sound almost like Buzz in the movies. Graphics: The graphics in Toy Story 2 are pretty good. Levels: The levels are great! Big, detailed, identical to places in the movie!

Overall Toy Story 2 is worth 5 stars, easily. ONE draw back: you can't save your game. If you want to save your progress you need to have a Controller Pack/Memory Card!

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.

Our 3 year old son just adores this game. ToyStory2 has really improved his motor skills and agility. He can move Buzz, shoot, jump, climb and help Buzz find toys with no problem. The graphics and sounds are just like the movie. I would recommend this game to any mom who is wanting to get a game that any of her kids could play and enjoy! It's fun for parents too!

This game is cool. Buzz Lightyear can get all kinds of power-ups that help him complete his mission, like a cosmic shield. Also, he can do lots of things like a spin attack. The older players may find it too simple, but I am 9 and really like it. My little brother, 6, is crazy over this game, he likes Buzz's charged laser. Hope you enjoy this game as much as we do.

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.

this game is awsome a great buy for anyone with a N64 much better than the one on playstation awsome graphics and good for any age. Very cool game.

This is a terrific game for children who love the Toy Story films. All the regular characters make appearances and it's just too fun controlling Buzz Lightyear! I only wish the graphics, sound and control were a bit more polished. The dificulty comes mainly from a constantly moving camera (but you can fix it when needed) and a bit too loose control. For the younger gamers though these drawbacks won't matter much as it's fun just wondering around the levels and finding your friends. You get to explore Andy's house, Al's Toy Barn and an airport among others. Older and more experienced gamers will probably want to pass on this due to the laskluster graphics and unsophicated gameplay. But if you're a fan as much as I am then you'll be able to look past these drawbacks and enjoy the game. One thing to keep in mind is that to save your game you need to have a controller pack.

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.

This game is alot like other adventure games.You have to rescue Woody from Al.You're Buzz Lightyear,and you have to destroy evil toys such as robots and helicopters.Another object of the game is to collect Pizza Planet tokens.You get them by doing certain tasks.In every level you have to rescue 6 of something(ducks sheep).You face bosses like Zurg.You also get certain items as you go around.You can get super lasers,batteries Buzz tokens and coins.This game is frustrating because some of the jumps are hard to do and that can tick you off.
