Advantages: Resonably entertaining

Disadvantages: Control awkward, not enduring

..of course, that would be almost impossible. Toy Story 2 the film was outstanding. This game is a rather frustrating first person shoot em up/puzzler sort of game.

First, the controls are immensely frustrating. Unlike other first person games I have played, the backwards key turns the shooter (buzz lightyear) right around. Apparently this is a legacy of a console type game but is really irritating in a PC game - and very disorientating.

Second, this game is a little too difficult for a child. Or perhaps it isn't, just that I found it tricky at times. On the plus side there are alternate ways to get through levels - winning a race, collecting a number of tokens. or finishing a challenge. So, if you get stuck, there is sometimes another way to finish the level. But some of the puzzles are incredibly difficult as the levels go on, and semingly unsolvabel, and the tokens you can collect run out so you do run up against a brick wall.

If you stick at it, i am sure that you can get through - but I just didn't want to, and, more importantly, given the targte market, nor did my 6 year old daughter. She MUCH prefers The Sims and Theme park World - two games that I think are excellent for children, though a little tedious for adults. So, from both of us - a very average score of three...and i can sort of recommend it, when it comes out cheap. Better to buy the video of the film
