Developed by Traveller's Tales, Disney/Pixar's Buzz Lightyear of Star Command is a third-person action-adventure game set in rendered real-time environments based on the animated television series. The evil emperor Zurg has initiated a heinous plan involving intergalactic terror; his vile cronies aren't far behind. Assuming the role of Buzz, you must thwart the emperor's evil doings and destroy his legions of minions.

Fortunately, you'll have a little help along the way -- not only will Mira, Booster, and X-R accompany Buzz on his do-good crusades, you'll also recruit helpers including various critters known as Little Green Men and Zeb Nebula.

Disney/Pixar's Buzz Lightyear of Star Command features 14 interactive environments spanning seven worlds with unique scenery, pickups, and mindless minions doing the emperor's dirty work. Levels are set throughout various planets including Jo-Ad, Trade World, Karn, Gargantua, and Canis Lunis with the final battle taking place on Planet Z. There are also boss characters located within certain environments -- you'll do battle with Torque, XL, and Warp Darkmatter.

Along the way, Buzz will interact with and utilize a variety of pickup items and weapons. Weapons range from simplistic laser beams to destructive lightning guns and homing plasma bolts. Additionally, you'll have some vehicles at your disposal, including jetpacks, hoverboards, and jetbikes. Pickup items consist of health packs and defensive shields; you'll need these if you wish to thwart emperor Zurg.

Will Buzz Lightyear save the world from danger or fall victim to the evil emperor's wrongdoings? The fate of mankind is in your hands!

With the help of Disney Inteactive, Buzz Lightyear from Toy Story appears in his very own video game. In Buzz Lightyear of Star Command, you follow the adventures of everyone's favorite Space Ranger as you chase down, literally, and arrest the villainous foes that threaten the universe. All the popular characters from the television show make appearances including Buzz and his band of good guys: Mira, Booster and X-R. On the other end of the spectrum, Emperor Zurg is up to no good again with the help of his vile henchmen: Torque, Gravatina and Skreel, among others. Buzz Lightyear of Star Command features 9 environments and 14 levels of space-age hero action-adventure in what can best be described as a platform racer. No, there are no vehicles involved, or at least not for the most part, but each level acts as a race to the finish. Still confused? Well, let me explain.

After a briefing before each level from Commander Nebula, Buzz Lightyear immediately comes face to face with each of the bosses. Rather than face off against the evil pawn though, the objective is to race the henchmen to his getaway spot so you can arrest him properly. This makes no sense to me since once you get to the getaway spot, you have to fight the bad guy anyway. You can literally walk right beside Torque on the first level but you can't do anything to him until you reach his destination. The goal of each level, as I mentioned, is to beat the henchmen to his getaway area. If the boss gets to the spot before you do, you have 15 seconds to get there before the mission is a failure. In other words, the entire game is a race against time. While there are plenty of items scattered throughout each level, it's rather useless when you know you can't take a moment or two out of your schedule to pick up a few things, you must proceed rather quickly or you'll fail the level.

Players start with the standard-issue Space Ranger laser, but you can purchase additional weapons and power-ups throughout each level. The key word there is purchase, because very few things in this game are free. With the exception of medical kits and fuel, you'll need coins in order to purchase everything from weapons and power-ups, to such objects as platforms that allow you to clear chasms without harm. Coins are scattered throughout the levels and if you destroy a baddie, they'll release coins as well. As you come across a weapon, it will have a number attached to it. That's how many coins it'll cost you to purchase that particular item. If you don't have enough coins, you can't equip yourself with that item. The arsenal of weapons include homing plasma guns, rockets, proximity grenades, Gattling guns and much more. There are also a few vehicles to help Buzz speed along his way including hoverboards and jet bikes for which you need fuel to use. Once you're out of fuel, the vehicles become useless. You'll also have to save little green men along the way too. Defeating and arresting the boss at the end of the level isn't the only goal, you also need to rescue enough little green men and have a set number of coins in your possession in order to advance. The missions are broken up into locations including Flamar, Trade World, Ice World, Planet Z and finally Zurg's Throne Room. Many of the levels are relatively easy to complete and although it sounds like you might have a hard time picking up weapons and power-ups, you often don't need them to defeat the bosses.

Graphically, Buzz Lightyear is a mixed bag. When I first loaded up the game, I couldn't believe how poor the menu system looked. I set the resolution for 1024x768, but there was no way it was more than 320x200. Luckily, once the game loaded up, the visuals improved tremendously. The graphics, as expected, consist mostly of cartoon-inspired textures. The 3D models are animated well, although the environments outside of the actual race track, so to speak, are a little bland. The special effects leave little to be desired and I found myself constantly sticking to the walls and borders of each level. In terms of the audio, I was disappointed not to hear Tim Allen's voice as Buzz Lightyear. Instead, the generic voices were very forgettable. The sound effects are extremely basic as well, particularly the weapon effects which sounded terrible when fighting up close with bosses. Music plays throughout each level, but with the hectic pace to reach the end, it was barely noticeable.

Buzz Lightyear of Star Command is a very repetitive game. While the environments are ever changing, the objective and the overall feel of the game remains the same. Simply outrun your opponent to the finish line and then beat him in a one-on-one duel. The emphasis on time really detracts from what could have been a solid platform title. Instead, there's little to no reason to explore the surrounding area and try to pick up as many items as you can. You'll probably find yourself re-playing several of the levels, not because you actually failed to arrest the henchmen, but because you didn't pick up enough coins en route due to the restricted time.

Quite possibly the worst part of Buzz Lightyear are the controls. There is absolutely no option to use a gamepad. Hello? Can somebody say Dukes of Hazzard? How can you not allow for gamepad control? In any case, controlling Buzz Lightyear can be a task in itself. When you turn to the right, rather than rotating in a smooth fashion, Buzz often turns 30 or 45 degrees, making it near impossible to aim properly, not to mention walk in a straight line. You'll find yourself walking into walls quite frequently, which of course is a pain when you find yourself sticking to those walls, as touched on earlier. Rather than turning on the spot, Buzz often turns in a rather large circle. The controls are horrid to say the least. And just to touch on multiplayer, there is none. Buzz Lightyear is a single-player experience only.

Buzz Lightyear is a mix of genres gone wrong. The moral of this game is that you can't mix platform and racing genres, at least not like this. The emphasis on time really detracts from this gaming experience and the controls are terrible. Younger gamers are probably going to love the characters and the atmosphere in general.

Infuriating

It's Buzz Lightyear of Star Command! A game based on the cunning exploits of our favourite big-screen nutcase, and his intense battles with the evil Zurg! Except, oh, it's not. It's actually a game based on the crummy Saturday morning TV series, with all the contorted polygons and unfinished animations that made that so forgettable. There's no charm, no wit, no guile to our beloved Buzz - and once again it's Traveler's Tales that is responsible, the company that brought us such terrible bores as Captain Blasto… It's very hard to get excited about Buzz Lightyear of Star Command. The films were intended to entertain everyone, and did so admirably. This particular game seems like a cheap excuse to take a few 5 year olds and their parents to the cleaners. Watching my little brother rocket around the levels it was fairly clear which age group had won, and which had lost. But ignoring my as-yet unsatisfied desire for an adult-orientated Toy Story game, does the game appeal to kids? Well yes, but then sandpits appeal to kids - I'm not giving it a stellar rating based on that. The first thing to note before we go anywhere is that the screenshots are incredibly deceptive. If you blow up one of the images on this page and have a look at it, you could be forgiven for thinking that it looks pretty good. Do not be fooled. The stylistic approach and toon shading (ala Jet Set Radio) are a complete faux - if you see it in action, animations tear up in front of you, polygons clip all over the place and Buzz himself, whilst outlined by a thick marker pen looks no better for it. It's a PlayStation game on the Dreamcast, with all the hacks and blurs to get it there that Activision could employ. Texturing and backgrounds look like they've been drawn up in MS Paint, and for the most part that's probably about as much attention as they did get. The appreciable slowdown at times doesn't help matters either, and I have no idea where it comes from.

Ouch

What we really needed here was a third person Buzz Lightyear does Duke Nukem style approach, with stunning one-liners and gags so side-splitting as to make up for the game's shoddy programming and lacklustre visuals entirely. Unfortunately, the best we get is Buzz's 'High ho Silver and away!' for the 21st Century clanger, 'To infinity and beyond!' Every five seconds. There's no bravado, wit, cunning or sarcasm to anything the great Buzz Lightyear says. Throughout the game's 14 increasingly dreary levels, not once did I get the adrenaline rush of pure enjoyment I got watching the Toy Story films. Buzz's arsenal is pretty Nerf-like, with Iceguns, rockets, plasma balls and such, but the variety is unnecessary, since as long as you can steady the camera for a couple of seconds you can take out most of the bad-guys on-screen in one blast. That said, their propensity to fire first at stupidly high velocities kind of spoils the effect. Generally speaking the best thing to do is to leap on by, or collect a Hoverboard and whoosh past. Oh yes, I forgot, that's Buzz Lightyear of Star Command's one redeeming feature - its powerups. Jet Packs and Hoverboards are the order of the day, and they do inject a certain amount of entertainment into proceedings. Speeding at incredible velocities past your enemies and over lava pits whilst screaming 'To infinity and beyond!' is about as close to the films as the game gets. That said, it still has none of the charm.

Death toll

The gameplay is strangely tenuous, despite the obvious templates for control laid out by a million other third person 3D platformers since Mario 64. The setup is awkward at times, and as you rummage around trying to get used to it you'll wonder however kids are supposed to enjoy this at all. Why oh why the companies involved here didn't make some sort of Donkey Kong Country hybrid using Buzz and Woody is beyond me. The scope for gaming spin-offs from Toy Story is unimaginable, and instead of doing something to appeal to gamers of all ages and walks of life like the films did, Activision shovel any old dross out of the door and hope some luckless parent will stumble upon it in time for their child's birthday. If only people could understand that properties like Toy Story are gold dust. After all, games like Quake are obscenely popular, but you can hardly sell them to everyone can you? With Toy Story, you could make any style of spin-off appeal to every gamer on the planet instantly if only you put a little work in. But this? Talk about trying my patience. To its credit the game does take several hours to complete, which is more than can be said for some games recently, but it's not enough.

Conclusion

At the end of the day one has to consider that the Toy Story franchise is just that, a franchise, and that to the developers and publishers this game is the equivalent of a lunchbox with a Toy Story sticker on it. They took Captain Blasto and slapped some new paint on it, just like they did with the TV series. It's a dreadful loss, and yet it's a move twinged with inevitability. As long as you give up on the notion that this is a Toy Story game and instead view it as Zurg's bizarre attempt to usurp our dearly loved hero you might enjoy Buzz Lightyear, but otherwise in all likelihood you will decide to avoid it completely. Opting for one of the countless other 3D platformers currently bedazzling the gaming sector isn't a bad idea. With little variety in its missions and only a couple of redeeming features, the game won't do much to hold your interest. Although the little ones might enjoy it, for what it costs it seems like an awful waste, especially when Buzz Lightyear toys (which are so much more fun - I can testify) are cheaper. Get your kid a few dolls, or buy the newly released double-disc DVD box set. Whatever you do though, don't let Buzz Lightyear of Star Command ruin your memory of the fantastic film duet.
