A 3D platformer adapted from Toy Story 2, English edition. Six themed worlds, stars to collect, faithfulness to the film and Pixar humour preserved. Solid for young players, no genre revolution, but a real love for the source material makes the adventure endearing.

Toy Story 2 - Buzz l'Eclair a la Rescousse! (N64) price, value & rarity
French variant of Toy Story 2 titled Buzz l'Eclair a la Rescousse, with packaging and text localized for the francophone market, November 1999. Identical in play to the English edition, it stands out through its French box and manual, sought by regional collectors chasing the full PAL set. Its print run is narrower than the English one, so a complete French copy sits a notch harder to assemble.
Is Toy Story 2 - Buzz l'Eclair a la Rescousse! 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.
