Toy Story 2: Buzz Lightyear to the Rescue!
Toy Story 2: Buzz Lightyear to the Rescue!
Sorti le 16 novembre 1999, Toy Story 2: Buzz Lightyear to the Rescue! est un jeu d'aventure et de plateforme développé par Traveller's Tales et édité par Activision et Gradiente. Disponible sur PC, PlayStation, Dreamcast et Nintendo 64, le titre met en scène Buzz Lightyear devant sauver Woody, enlevé par le collectionneur Al McWhiggin, à travers le quartier, le magasin Al's Toy Barn, la penthouse du ravisseur, puis l'aéroport. Buzz utilise son canon et ses sauts pour atteindre des zones et récupérer des pièces cachées ouvrant des niveaux bonus. La durée de la campagne principale est estimée à six heures et demie, et à huit heures pour une complétion intégrale, avec une note moyenne agrégée de 70,79. La presse a livré des avis mitigés : CNET Gamecenter a jugé le jeu entravé par une interface douteuse mais capable d'imposer sa force, tandis que Sega X a regretté un produit brut et peu soigné. Certains joueurs sur Metacritic ont décrit un bon jeu de plateforme parfois difficile mais amusant, tout en trouvant les versions PS et DC médiocres visuellement, la N64 correcte et le GBC plutôt réussi.

Avis des critiques et joueurs
Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« I hate to be brutal about it, and many younger gamers may even like this game, but I had expected a more polished product, and what I got seemed raw or half-baked. »
« Marred by a dodgy interface, "Toy Story 2" nonetheless knows how to flex its might like a championship weightlifter. »
« It's fine if you're buying it for your kids to play (which really is the purpose of "Toy Story 2"), but Activision could have done a lot to make this better for us older folk. »
« A fantastic game (with) regrettably frustrating, enjoyment killing problems. »
« Repetitive voice samples from the film, control flaws, and poor floating-camera angles make many levels frustrating. »
« The variety of ways to progress in the game should keep them glued to the set. But be warned: there's very little here for us older gamers. »
« In the long run however, the troublesome camera angles and problematic control will make you want to hide this one at the bottom of the toy chest. »
« Overall, Activision has done a decent, if uninspired, job of porting the game to yet another platform. »
Avis des Joueurs (Metacritic)
« Gran plataformeo, por momentos desafiante, dificil pero esto no representa algo malo, es mas bien un desafio divertido, y en lo frustrante tambien esta lo divertido. Gran variedad de mapas, de mecanicas dentro de ellos, de enemigos y todos distintos entre si. Ademas buena variedad de Bosses, pese a que algunos de ellos sean muy faciles, y los dificiles sean solamente 4. Pero pese a estos puntos positivos, el juego no inventa la rueda ya que salio en 1999, y crash bandicoot 3 ya habia salido en 1998 y mario 64 en el 1996, las referencias/inspiraciones/copia son notorias, pero no son malas. Ademas el juego presenta un claro problema con su camara, aunque es entendible por ser de play 1, mas no justificable. Aun asi, la nota es un 81/100 »
« PS & DC looks potato to me N64 looks okay, GBC is really good in my opinion. »
« Sorry, but if there's multiple of games being released on multiple of consoles in the year of 2000, one of them had to include Toy Story 2 for the Dreamcast. It had all the chances it could get to be a huge improvement of the PlayStation version, but just completely failed at that big time like the Nintendo 64 version. At least you got one Toy Story game on the Dreamcast, right? »
« I must say this review it more towards the PC version (which is impossible to review!), but I did play both PC and DC versions and the two are mostly identical. This is another one of those games which probably no one cares about or will ever care unless they're a dye-hard fans of DisneyPixarToy Story franchise (The latter is true for me). And I guess there's not much reason to care about this one, it's definitely not a masterpiece and the movie which it's based on is far more popular, plus it's aimed mainly at children. And that's simply what it is. If there are still some children out there which get to watch Toy Story this game could be nice for them. It's not 100% polished, but it's a light action-platformer, it's a lot easier and forgiving (Thank god!) than the previous installment, it has nice lively soundtrack which fit the game, nice levels... It's simply alright. And old. »
