Toy Story 2: Buzz Lightyear to the Rescue Review Cons:
- Camera angles are really bad, Yes you can control it somewhat but not enough to stop frustrating moments
- The grab mechanic is hit and miss, So a ledge you can reach and grab may not work for some unknown reason while trying again later will work the first time
- The goals at each level are the same. Collect 50 coins, Kill a mini-boss being two examples
- Boss levels give you no clue on how to defeat them meaning an annoying try this and try that affair
- When you die you spawn straight back where you died. Sounds good but not if you die in gunfire as you spawn straight back into the same gunfire!
