Toy Story 2: Buzz Lightyear to the Rescue (Nintendo 64, 1999)

"Hey, Buzz!" Get used to these words. You will hear them over and over and over! We purchased Toy Story 2 for our Buzz Lightyear loving 3 year old. It has not disappointed us for one second. It has tremendous play value. The game is colorful and bright and features all of the characters we fell in love with in the original Toy Story along with the new characters from Toy Story 2. You have to help Buzz find his way through the Andy's neighborhood, to Al's Toy Barn, and several other places until you meet up with the Prospector for a final battle for Woody, collecting Pizza Planet tokens along..

My family rented Toy Story 2 from a local video outlet last month. My son, the Nintendo 64 ace, was so excited to get the game since he had seen the movie.

Buzz can get power-ups (read: caps) by helping Mr. Potato Head find missing body parts) Good stuff: Kids will find the first few.

The recently released movie Toy Story 2 is now hitting your N64. It has been translated by activision and has done a good job in trying to remake the movie s environment, sounds, look, and story of the movie. In the end it turns out to be a good platformer for children and adults of all ages. It has the challenges to make veteran platformers like me play it while maintaining simple gameplay so children can play it. Toy Story 2 puts you in Buzz Lightyear s shoes.
