A nice nostalgia piece if you had it.

I remember spending so many hours of my youth in front of my first video system which was incidentally a Sega Genesis. 15 years later I can still remember all the titles I owned for it and since nostalgia hooks everyone at some point I recently got a Genesis and proceeded to track down all the games I remember playing on it. One of the few I remember beating in my childhood is Toy Story and let me say that the challenge from my childhood is no longer present. The time it takes to beat the game is maybe just a little bit longer than it takes to watch the original movie but for most it may not hold your attention that long, especially because the plot is the same accept it adds time to certain segments for the action while others are reduced to little text boxes. Honestly the story doesn't really matter if you saw the movie so lets move on to the playability of the game. Being an older game there is no save option so the short length is a point in its favor and the lives system will almost ensure you die before even reaching the end. The graphics are good for a Genesis game and game-play wise it's standard side scrolling action. Running, jumping, ducking, and using Woody's whip (falic joke not intended) are all you really do when you're not ripping off several other games from the early 90's (there a 3d Doom segment, an Outrun style racing segment and a few others to boot) but it's solid enough to warrant a mention. Honestly this game is mainly for those who played it back in the day or those who want to try out something old and off the beaten path but otherwise you need not pay it much attention.
