Disney's Toy Story (0)

Overview

Toy Story is a licensed side-scrolling platformer with driving stages and is based on the 1995 CGI animated Pixar movie of the same name. Sheriff Woody is Andy's favorite toy, but the arrival of Space Ranger Buzz Lightyear threatens to upset Woody's top spot. Despite their differences, they are forced to work together when the two of them are accidentally separated from Andy and the other toys.

Each level is built around a distinct objective, from finding objects to races to ensuring everyone's in the right positions before Andy appears. The game uses pre-rendered sprites to recreate the CGI characters of the movie for a 2D platformer. It closely follows the plot of the movie, unlike many other movie to video game adaptations, and features a lot of text-based interstitial screens for plot exposition.

Levels either have players traveling from point A to point B or beating an objective to open the exit.

The objectives may include tasks such as cleaning up the toys in Andy's room. The game also includes some driving sections; players will ride on top of an R/C car trying to make it to the goal as fast as possible. These R/C levels will play from a top-down, side-scrolling, or behind-the-back perspective depending where players are in a level. When the perspective is behind-the-back, it plays similarly to .
