Retrospectively Speaking, It's Good

Ten years ago on the SNES, this game was quite a gem to have. Most video games based off movies aren't good. Most of them are, in fact, horrible. However, Toy Story manages to stay at the top of its game long enough for any gamer to admit it is an overall good game.

You play as Woody, traveling through the full length story of Toy Story. The game is comprised of seventeen levels with story sequences in between. Most levels are basic side scrollers where you'll progress through the level as Woody with a few bosses in there. The levels range in variety. Not just basic side scroll levels, but there are a couple of levels where you'll control RC and a few levels where you'll be riding on a certain toy to get through a barage of obstacles in your way. Woody's "life gauge" is at the top of the screen. He has five hit points. When they're all used up you'll have to restart the level. Luckily, throughout these levels there are checkpoints for Woody to fall back on.

There are fifty stars in each and every level of Toy Story. They're scattered around much like coins in Mario. If you get fifty Woody will get an extra life. If you come close he might get a few hit points restored instead. The levels aren't long and some of them are fairly simple to go through.

Graphically, Toy Story looks really good for a Super Nintendo game. The freeze frame scenes from the move are of the actual movie itself, and Woody and the other toys move quite smoothly. There are a few frame rate issues from time to time. Moments when Woody will abruptly slow down but the action around him doesn't. This could cost you more than a few hit points. Some levels, such as controling RC, are downright frustrating.

The music is a tough call. It isn't exactly the greatest sound track but it isn't bad either. It would've been nice if they'd borrowed more tunes from the movie. The music doesn't get repetative (there's different music for each and every level) but it just doesn't always sound great. Not only that, but some of the story sequences are horribly written.

The game does present a good challenge, however, as most classic Super Nintendo games. You'll find yourself in trouble a few times. However, I have to point out that even for a Super Nintendo game it's short. For a late Super Nintendo it's short. The game can be completed within a half hour. Compare that with other SNES games (that aren't RPGs) that take at least 5 or 6 hours to beat and you'll wonder if Toy Story is really worth the time. I'd say it is. It's fun, and it's interesting. For Super Nintendo junkies, you might want to get a hold of it. It's actually a game based off a movie that's good, and that alone deserves a peak. Just be glad that it's an old SNES game that actually comes at a fair price.

this game is great!!!!

i love this game and the movie is excellent too the graphics are something you would find in donkey kong and the only weapon you have is a bullwhip that woody uses to swing across tables,beds,or holes too wide too jump across or too deep to jump in and out of or you can whip other toys with it although not too effective sometimes with tougher toys!

This game has excellent graphics for this old system. It features most of the characters from the movie. For example, Woody, Buzz and Mr. Potatoe Head. This game is very exciting and if your looking for an overall good game this is what you should get.

This game's 3D animations look great and I enjoy this game but it's hard. I don't suggest you cheat but if you want to be invincible and skip level. In the first level, when you're on the bottom drawer with the bucket of army men, hold down on the D-pad until the health star starts to spin. After you enable it, you can press select to skip any level. Woody uses his string as a rope to swing on the hooks. The level "Inside the Claw Machine" has a tricky platforming that I'm used to. The seccond level is named "Red Alert!" You need to help the other toys get to their places. Rex, Hamm, and Robot need to go into the toy chest. RC and Rocky need to go under the bed and you need to go onto the bed. The fourth level's name is "Nightmare Buzz". You have a bad dream about a huge Buzz Lightyear with real lasers. Defeat this illusion to awake from Woody's worst nightmare. As the days pass Woody finds he is no longer Andy's favorite toy. In the final level, when you get to the truck, you have to go under it. The music is weird by Patrick Collins I think.

It is a fun game, a little time consuming, redundant, and not very many options for controls or features. Of course its a game that my kids will enjoy when they are about 10, so I wouldn't expect an adult to be too amazed by it.
