This game, which originally was actually bought for my sister, is the Game Boy Color version of this game made about the popular Disney film. Of course, she couldn't figure it out, so it was my turn to try to figure out a child's game. That's never something to ask me to do: try to figure out something that's supposed to be easy.

This is rated on a 0-4 star scale. I don't think that's too difficult for you to guess, anyway, but just making sure.

Graphics: no stars

Well, either the Game Boy Color absolutely stinks at graphics worse than the Atari, or this game was made
horribly. Of course, we all know the Game Boy Color isn't that bad (is it?). Seriously, is that Buzz Lightyear, or a bunch of white and green blips on the screen? Is that a ball, or a block, or a circle, or what? Come on, this is pathetic! I at first thought the graphics aren't that bad. But, when I can't think of one good thing to write about, they are that bad.

Sound: 1/2

The sound in this game is just plain awful. It's annoying, too, but I'm assuming you understood that. The music is just stupid, and the sounds are barely anything compared to normal sounds. The sound barely is any better than the graphics.

Difficulty: ***

This, like some other games I've played, isn't actually as difficult as it is confusing. I would be able to do what I'm supposed to do if I only knew what to do! The game gives you no real instruction to what you're supposed to find, or go, or whatever. I just end up jumping around in circles, wasting time. So, this is pretty stupid, pointless, and whatever else you want to say about this game.

Characters: *

The characters are completely pointless in this game, because you basically don't interact with them that
much. You're Buzz Lightyear, who has to fight off strange stuff. There's this one dinosaur called Rex that is supposed to be on your side, but of course he makes your life miserable at times. There's this piggy bank named Hamm, but he does nothing, basically. You're supposed to be saving Woody, but like Peach, Woody has no role whatsoever. So, the characters don't have much effect on the game, even though there actually are characters.

Controls: ***1/2

The controls are childishly simple. A is jump and B is fire laser, and the Control Pad moves you around. I
could have the jump and laser mixed up, but it really only takes you a couple of seconds to fix that. Anyway, no complaints about the controls. Enjoy this positive section while you can.

Levels: *

The levels seem to lead to nowhere, and they're not that well-detailed. At least they have a few nice things, like jumping on a car and going through a loop until you fly. Otherwise, however, they really aren't that great.

Gameplay (in general): no stars

Simply put, the gameplay is utterly pointless. There's no exit to the levels, and you really aren't told what
you're supposed to be doing. You're basically running around in circles (but in 2D), and you're not doing
anything worthwhile at all. This game's so pointless, it even beats out some other horrible games in this category because at least those other games had a point to playing them. This one doesn't.

Replayability: *

One nice feature to this game is that if you find some code passwords, you can go to different levels and
play around in them more. Maybe just to fool around, of course, but at least that's a tad of replayability,
enough for one star. The rest of the game won't make you want to play it again, though.

Fun Factor!: no stars

Well, how fun can a game be when you're not really doing anything worthwhile at all? Loads and loads of fun, of course! Wow, I can't hold in my excitement! Whoa! Whoa! This is too much for me! This game is so addictive, I can't put it down. Too bad I already did... 2 1/2 years ago.

OVERALL: no stars

If I didn't hate Pokémon Gold so much, this would be my least favorite game ever. Actually, this is probably technically worse than Pokémon Gold, but my expectations were very high for Pokémon Gold. Fortunately, I had no expectations for Toy Story 2, so I'm not disappointed in a pointless game. If you don't like me or what I have to say, go buy this game. If you're reasonable, then skip it, of course. This is one of the most pointless games ever, and the horrendous gameplay shows it. Not even die-hard Disney fans or fans of this movie should buy this game.
