Toy Story 2 (Game Boy Color)
It's too late to rescue this game though.

Toy Story 2: Buzz Lightyear to the Rescue! is a platform game based on Pixar's computer animated movie Toy Story 2 and is the sequel to the first Toy Story video game. It was released for the Nintendo 64, PlayStation, Dreamcast, Microsoft Windows, and Game Boy Color platforms, in 1999 and 2000. This article will focus on the Game Boy Color version (simply known as Toy Story 2) which was developed by Tiertex Design Studios.

Why It Can't Be Rescued

1. The music! Remember how Atari games had loud noises and could cause hearing loss if played long enough? Well, this game gives you it in five seconds, meaning the music is so loud that your ears might because from it.
2. Atrocious graphics, even for 2000's standards. Even Toy Story for Game Boy looked better than this. Even in the cutscenes when you are not playing a level at all, the graphics still won't look good, thanks to how Tiertex, the creators of this port, badly made the graphics.
3. It carries a lot of traits from Mulan for the Game Boy; atrocious graphics and gameplay, ear-grating music, and unspeakable difficulty.
   • All these traits stem from the fact that Tiertex Design Studios of all people made this, as they had also made Mulan a year earlier.
4. Gameplay can basically be summed up in one word: "atrocious". Buzz feels like he's a bad version of Simon from Castlevania. In the first level, you can even struggle a lot with the controls, such as trying to drive on a car, try to get into the blocks easily, and some other stuff that makes the gameplay atrocious.
5. Stupid premise, in which Andy's toys are killing (or trying to kill) Buzz in the first place. This is like Andy's toys turning against Woody when he got rid of Buzz in the first movie, except with Woody and Buzz's roles reversed. Also, it didn't happen in the actual movie because Buzz didn't put Woody in the yard sale on purpose; instead Woody went to the yard sale by himself just to rescue Wheezy and Buzz didn't do anything wrong at that time when Woody went to the yard sale.
6. There's something that makes no sense in the third level. In level 3, you can die by touching wrappers and leaves, like if they are actually made out of metal, stone or some other stuff that Buzz wouldn't grab that easily if he would be able to do it.
7. False advertising: The back cover says that Hamm the Piggy Bank can help Buzz, but in the game he actually steals your batteries. This is just to prove that Tiertex wanted to make the publishers do false advertising on the back cover of this port.

Redeeming Qualities That Can Be Rescued

1. The cover art is quite good, and can be seen as the one of the few good part in the Game Boy Color version of Toy Story 2, and this is actually saying a lot.
2. At least the other versions of the Toy Story 2 video game are great, and this is also really saying a lot, and that's true.
3. This game also provides players who have a Game Boy Color to play Toy Story 2, even if this is not saying a lot.
