Toy Story 2 - Buzz Lightyear to the Rescue! (N64) price, value & rarity
English-language PAL Europe edition of Activision's Toy Story 2 platformer, November 1999. Stronger than most Pixar tie-ins, it keeps genuine pull among N64 platformer fans and film nostalgics. This English release is the base for the localized France and Germany variants; its broad European print makes it the most common of the trio and the easiest to land complete in good shape.
Is Toy Story 2 - Buzz Lightyear to the Rescue! still worth playing in 2026?
A 3D platformer adapted from the film from Activision, Toy Story 2 has you play Buzz Lightyear setting out to save Woody from a collector's clutches, across levels faithful to the Pixar world. The item collecting, the variety of settings and the colourful art direction carry an accessible, polished platformer, close to the era's Spyro spirit. The pleasant handling appeals, with no great difficulty. For someone nostalgic for the film or a fan of retro licensed 3D platforming, the title keeps a warm charm and a very real pleasure.
