Though it may not appeal to many adult gamers, Disney's Toy
Story 2 Action Game is a solid arcade game. The title combines
the style and humor of the movie with 3-D platform-game elements
you would normally find in a video game. In fact, the exact same
game is also available for the PlayStation and Nintendo 64 game
consoles, and its video-game roots are often clearly visible.
Players take control of Buzz Lightyear in his quest to rescue
Woody from the evil clutches of Al, the toy collector. The game
is played from a third-person perspective and is more like Super
Mario 64 than Tomb Raider. Many of the 15 levels--most of which
revolve around actual locations from the movie--are
straightforward, but offer numerous bonus items and secret areas
to explore. In order to make it through the entire game, Buzz has
to perform many difficult jumps, climb trees, zap evil toys with
his laser, and interact with all of his toy pals to get clues.
Much like the movie, the game's primary audience is kids (ages 8
and older); adults may tire of the arcade-style jumping and
climbing action in short order. Still, for parents searching for
a family-friendly computer game--and one that wonderfully
re-creates the environments and characters of a great Disney
movie--Toy Story 2 Action Game is a great bet. --Michael E. Ryan
Pros:
* Includes video clips from the movie
* Lots of fun for fans of the movie, especially kids
* Good graphics Cons:* Graphics are good, but they are not
cutting-edge
* May be too simplistic for older players

Review
------
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.
