ShadowV7 Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 This looks like it's the new 3D Shooting game in MGM Studios in America. It was pretty fun right enough, but it'll need much more so it won't get boring fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haden Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 But Toy Story was one of Disney's pure, unmilked franchises! Curse them! Don't you remember the mega drive game?

Ashley Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 And there was a game for the N64 which was okay as far as I remember. Average tie-in platformer. (and its in fact one of the most milked Pixar franchises because its the only one Disney have the rights (or more of the rights, I forget) for so they whore it out. Why do you think there's a third coming out? And the 3D versions? And 1 & 2 are going in the Disney DVD 'vault'? Plus the Buzz Lightyear spinoff tv show thing. Anwyay, I'll shush now...)

tapedeck Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 I remember Toy Story on the 16-bit platforms and it looked incredible for the time. It used pre-rendered graphics ala DKC and really looked sumptuous for it. (What was more incredible was the fact that the Megadrive version looked nearly as good as the SNES version - this coming at a time when pre-rendered GFX were seen to be a SNES highlight.) The gameplay wasn't too bad and some of the later levels involving R.C. were pretty fun. Mind you, this was back in the 90's when licensed platformers were generally of a medium/high quality. Ahhh, great memories! The N64 game (Toy Story 2) was a great platformer - on the PS1! The N64 port was a blurry, pop-up infested, framerate juddering mess. Playing as Buzz Lightyear you explored many locales in your quest to find Woody. Level design was great and control was sharp and responsive. It's a shame the N64 version was a rushed port as the PS1 version was a great title if you were a TS and platforming junkie. Although it's sad to see this franchise go down the 'party' route (I really like the Toy Story 2 chibi Robo-alike idea!) I'm sure the franchise still packs enough punch to make it stand out from the plethora of 'me-too' party games. (Here's hoping!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
