Genesis

Disney's Toy Story

Wie der Film schafft es auch „Toy Story“ auf dem Mega Drive voll zu überzeugen und einen in seinen Bann zu ziehen. Vor allem die extrem vielfältige Aufgabenstellung und der Wechsel von unterschiedlichen Genres wie Jump´n Run, Micro Machines Autoracer, Reitabenteuer, First-Person-Labyrinth in 3D, Pole Position Racer & Flugsimulator halten einen selbst heute im Jahre 2008 unseres Tests noch lange bei der Stange. Durch die integrierte Passwortfunktion könnt Ihr dann auch getrost einmal eine Pause machen und die fünf Abschnitte des Spiels erneut gezielt angehen. Ich möchte am Schluss noch den Vergleich zum C64 ziehen. Zu Anfang, also zu Zeiten eines "Choplifer" etwa, hatte auch niemand gedacht, dass am Ende ein Spiel wie "The Last Ninja" auf dieser Hardware möglich gewesen wäre. Das 32-MBit Modul zeigt hier auf dem Mega Drive im Grunde den selben Fortschritt erneut auf.

All in all, there's nothing more that I can do other than pat the people behind this title on the back. It rises above its brief mediocre moments and not only raises the stakes on Genesis visuals forever but also puts some heat on the next gen system manufacturers to really start knocking our socks off. Well done, Disney Interactive; Walt would be proud.

This game may be geared to a younger audience, but it's hard to ignore it's technological achievements. Toy Story, with it's rendered 3-D look, rather amazingly runs on a Genesis. It's the Donkey Kong Country of the Genesis, showing that the machine is still capable of making advancements.

Toy Story has the most unbelievable graphics I've ever seen on the Genesis. I was totally blown away by the Clockwork Knight-like line-scrolling levels, 3-D Doom-style sequences and the gorgeous SGI graphics. Being that this is a non-violent game targeted for kids, I don't understand why Disney chose to make TS so difficult. It's hard! The gameplay is a little basic and the music is only OK, but overall TS is still one of the best Genesis action games this year.

Au final, Toy Story est encore une adaptation réussie d’une œuvre de Disney. L’univers des jouets est bien respecté et plaira à tous les joueurs, qu'ils soient ou non fans du film d’animation. De plus, la durée de vie est très bonne, alors qu’elle est souvent le point faible des adaptations vidéoludiques. Plus d’un joueur retentera l’aventure pour ses qualités et l’amusement qu’il procure.

Toy Story is quite a good game, which is surprising for a movie-based game, especially since it did quite well and tried to be a good game, not just make sales based on the license. All in all, if you see Toy Story, pick it up. You’re in for an innovative gaming experience.

Those of you who enjoyed Toy Story so much that you've seen it more than a couple of times should definitely pick up a copy of Toy Story for the Sega Genesis

I was very impressed with the graphics of Toy Story. They're some of the best that I've seen on the Genesis in a long time. Upon playing for the first time, I thought for sure that this was going to strictly be an easy children's game. But after throwing the controller a few times, I realized that players of all ages can join in on the frustration! Thumbs up for the graphics and thumbs down for the loose control. Toy Story will be a good rental to see if it's your kind of game.

For those who can overcome the plodding pace, Toy Story's fun comes for it's engaging graphics and impressive variety. Veteran gamers won't face many challenges, but younger kids who were captured by the movie's charm will find the going tough. This Story's worth a quick read to see where you fall, but Vectorman's a much better tale.
