Toy Story 2: Buzz Lightyear to the Rescue! (PlayStation)

This game has you taking on the role of Buzz Lightyear. Yes the same astronaught hero from the film of the same name. The aim of the game is to rescue your old mate woody from the evil clutches of the toy collector Al. All of the characters from the Toy Story film will eventually turn up somewhere in the game to set you new challenges. This is a 3-D platform game from Activision. We start off in Andy's house where kitchen cabinets make handy platforms to grab, mops are used as swings and cushions are mini trampolines. Climb cheese plants and even use zips to zoom across the room. Once you ... more

My brother got this game for Christmas, about seven months ago, and I have never played on it until last week. I haven't written on Ciao for a while now either, therefore I decided that I would write an opinion on Toy Story 2, and here it is: THE GAME: As space hero Buzz Lightyear, you have your hand full.

Ranging from Andy's House at the start of the game, to Airport Infiltration near the end, you must encounter a variety of bosses. A small selection of weapons and attacks are ... more

This game is definitely one of my favourite games of this year. Despite its kiddy cartoon animation type appearence, it really is great fun and I would recommend it to absolutely everyone. The whole adventure is an amazing idea. You sart in the house. After searching around finding things which help solve little puzzles. The idea is to collect 5 pizza planet tokens from each area. Doing this can be very difficult. Some of them are incredibly tricky to find, and then even harder to actually reach. The beauty of this game though, is that I found it nearly impossible to get annoyed with it when ... more

My partner and I have recently purchased Toy Story 2 for our Playstation. It is an absorbing platform game which would appeal to young and 'not so young' alike. It is easy to understand but with a good challenge if you are going to complete it. If you get stuck in certain areas it is possible to by pass that piece of information and seek something else instead. This means you get the challenge without the frustration of getting totally stuck! The game is addictive and very hard to switch off once you have started playing. We found it great fun for one of us to be operating the controls but ... more
