Amazon.com Review
For those who are looking for an entertaining experience on a par with the last two Toy Story movies, Buzz Lightyear of Star Command might not be the best pickup. Not only is this title simplistic, but also it lacks the control and graphics that are necessary to forgive such gameplay shortcomings. It's a sluggish and redundant use of a popular license. The object of the game is for players to run through levels, as they try to catch up with bosses, whom they must fight to advance. Power-ups, such as rockets and hoverboards, are plentiful, but defeating enemies takes far too many shots, and trying to control Buzz feels a lot like trying to steer a bus. In other words, Buzz feels a lot heavier than he ought to, even in that oversize space suit.
The graphics in this game are clean, but they repeat often, and the overhead view almost made us forget whom we were struggling to control. This one is only for those who couldn't get enough of the PlayStation version, and need a copy for the road. --Robb Guido
Pros: It's Buzz Lightyear Cons: Average graphics and difficult control
