Disney's Toy Story 2 - Buzz Lightyear to the Rescue ISO
Description :
As space hero Buzz Lightyear, you've got your hands full. Your best
buddy, Woody, has been kidnapped by a greedy toy collector and it's
going to be an all-out race against time to save him.
Everybody loves Toy Story. It has been hailed as one of the best
animated films of all time. A few years after its release, Toy Story 2
was released. A game was based on it, and that game has proven itself to
be of a much higher quality than several movie-based games that are
currently being produced. This game has it all: an engaging storyline,
easy controls, good sound and graphics for its time, and large, unique
levels. Toy Story 2 set the standard for film-based games, and many
games released on the latest generation of consoles fell beneath that
bar.
Storyline:
Let's start off with the storyline. This game's story is based on the film that it is named for. Woody is a toy cowboy who lives with his owner, a child named Andy. Andy owns several other toys as well, including Buzz Lightyear and Mr. Potatohead. Woody is taken by a toy collector, who, with his possession of Woody, has finally completed a full set of cowboy related dolls. Buzz Lightyear leads a group of Andy's toys on a journey to rescue Woody.
Story:10/10
Pros: Engaging and interesting
Cons: None, at least that I can think of
Gameplay:
Ah, the gameplay. The most important part of the game. This game's gameplay has not dropped in quality, even when compared to the games of today. Although they outshine this game in terms of graphics due to the progression of technology, they still cannot beat how much fun this game is.
During this game you play as Buzz Lightyear. You can use his laser gun and a few other cool moves that help you get pass several obstacles and defeat the little bad guys that are lurking around in the game.. The gameplay revolves around progressing through the levels and collecting tokens. While the premise of collecting tokens sounds monotonous, it is pulled off well. You must complete a challenging task to earn a token. Many of these require planning and brainpower to finish, while others simply require a good understanding of the level. There is a level boss in each level that requires a strategy to defeat. If you manage to defeat one of these bosses, you will earn a token. Other methods of collecting tokens include finding Little Bo Peep's lost sheep, destroying a large amount of rogue toys (not bosses), and beating an RC car in a race around a track.
After acquiring several of these tokens, you can move on to the next stage, which will be a little more difficult than the once before. In between every couple levels is a more difficult boss. You will need to figure out the boss's weakness in order to take it down and progress past it. One example of this is shooting down a toy airplane with your laser gun while it flies around you.
Gameplay: 10/10
Pros: Good diversity
Very large and fun levels
Requires strategy
Buzz Lightyear is a fun character to use
Challenging, but not too challenging, perfect difficulty
Cons: If you don't like collecting at all, this might not be the right game for you
Graphics/Sound:
PlayStation graphics usually aren't that great. They are usually choppy and ugly. Toy Story 2, however, showed that it was possible to give good graphics to a PlayStation game. Sure, it isn't perfect, but it is certainly better than the vast majority of PlayStation games. Some places look kind of flat and bland, but the developers did a nice job as a whole.
One cool aspect of the graphics is if you go into first-person mode, you will be able to see the reflection of Buzz's face in the glass. It's not really a big deal, but it was a nice touch.
Now, for the sound. The voices are very nice and clear, although sometimes a few phrases will become repetitive. The music is great and fits each level well. The sound effects also sound good.
Graphics/Sound: 8/10
Pros: Good graphics as a whole
Great music, acceptable sound effects and voice acting
Cons: Some objects look weird and boring
Some phrases can get a little stale
Replayability:
There's not much to say about this, other that I have been playing this for around nine years, picking it up every now and then, and this game still entertains me. Play this game as you would drink a fine wine: savor the test, taking sips once in a little while. This won't get stale, and the challenge makes it last.
Replayability: 10/10
Pros: Has aged well
Cons: None
Final Recommendation:
If you can find this game, I highly recommend that you buy it. This game is one of the best games to be released on the PlayStation, and you will be missing out if you don't play it. You may have some difficulty finding it, though.
