    In a game so reliant on running in straight lines and jumping from one ledge to another, maddeningly loose control is unforgivable.

    The camera doesn't seem to know where to point - sometimes it faces the front of the character for no reason and turning makes the camera spin nauseously.

    Control in this game (using the term game loosely since it suggests fun) is akin to peeling "hair" off of a wet bar of soap - it's slippery work, and almost as difficult to do as it is to figure out why you're doing it in the first place.

    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.    … Full Review »

    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 forSorry, 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?… Full Review »
