Game FanThe game's mechanics are just too elementary for any gamer older than thirteen, and even that might be too old for this decidedly kiddie fare.
-
Dreamcast.netThe game was extremely easy to beat on both difficulty settings, but again, the game is geared toward children.
-
Da GameboyzWith bright and vibrant colours, a steady framerate and Buzz himself to lead the way, this game is more above than below average this time around.
-
Without the heart or soul of Toy Story, what you're left with is an empty space suit set adrift in the universe.
-
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.
-
Dreamcast HQIt's still tough to move Buzz around, and good luck trying to aim and shoot at a baddie.
-
Spank!The music's jaunty, the sound effects "zappy"; it looks okay, it plays okay, and it's all perfectly diverting for a few hours or so.
-
AllDreamcastThe control and camera angles are both horrible, the graphics are N64 quality at best (which is not what you'd hope for from a game based on the "Toy Story" license running on a 128-bit system), the missions are simple and repetitive, and even the humor and charm of the "Toy Story" movies are missing.
-
Daily RadarIn this confusing and muddled 3D platformer, Buzz just can't run straight, and that makes him one annoyed lead character in a crippled game that's really hard to like despite its eminently likable star.
-
While Buzz is okay for the kids, for the rest of us it ends up feeling like a pretty hollow experience. The gameplay is just too limited and uninspired.
-
BLSC has one heck of a stiff control that makes turning around or moving Buzz more painful and unnecessarily cumbersome than it should.
-
The concept itself sounds intriguing, but the overall game feels somewhat monotonous.
-
Experienced and discerning gamers, however, would do well to steer clear of BLSC, as the game is simplistic and light.
-
If you are expecting anything remotely as cool as "Toy Story," you will be sorely disappointed.
-
I just can't imagine gamers of any age getting any enjoyment out of this game.
-
I wish there really were a Buzz Lightyear, because he would probably beat the crap out of the guys who made this game.
