A really solid take on the Pixar film, with varied levels and lively staging. Buzz controls smoothly, the humor lands and the Toy Story magic shines in every set piece. Joyful for all ages.

Disney-Pixar Toy Story 2 - Buzz Lightyear to the Rescue! review
American version, released in late 1999 in the wake of the film then dominating the North American box office. Its immediate closeness to the movie's launch makes it, among the platformer's versions, the one most tied to the cinema event. On Dreamcast it stays less common than on rival machines, which appeals to NTSC collectors of Pixar adaptations more than to the broad public.
Is Disney-Pixar Toy Story 2 - Buzz Lightyear to the Rescue! still worth playing in 2026?
Released in 2000, this three dimensional platformer by Traveller's Tales follows Buzz Lightyear out to rescue Woody through varied, bright levels. Token collecting, multiple objectives per stage and the careful handling build a generous, well paced loop. The art direction faithful to the Pixar film and the overall energy still hold up very well. The accessible challenge and the measured length target a wide audience, and families and fans of period platformers find a colourful, well crafted adventure.
