 For once, a stellar movie to game translation!Dec 02, 2000
First of all, even if you didn't like the movie, don't stop reading! This game will please gamers of all ages. First of all, its graphics are excellent for the Genesis. Next, the levels are all fun to play and have lots of variation. From racing to fighting Buzz to riding on Rex, this game has almost everything! Finally, the movie's great story is told between each level, giving the player desire not to quit during a hard level and miss any of the story. Fans of the movie will love this game immensely, and even non-fans should check it out.

An actually good movie gameJan 12, 2011
By SMB Madman
Toy Story was an awesome movie. However, is it an awesome cash-in? Actually, the game's pretty good. As Woody, you go through 18 levels that relate to the movie and follow its storyline.
Since this version of the game was released after the SNES game, there are some differences that were put in the game.
Some of these are:
-New level
-Bonus game
-Level differences
The graphics are some of the best on the Genesis. Especially considering its limited color palliate.
The sounds and music aren't as great as the Super Nintendo had them turn out, also considering the limits, but they are still sounding pretty well on the hardware.
The gameplay is also pretty good, but it's always varied, although it's mostly a platform game.
However, the game is hard. Harder than the Super Nintendo game. The reason why and how is because of the new additions to some levels. The Claw has this annoying wire that hits you when you touch it. Really Inside the Claw Machine is an entirely different and more confusing maze. Nightmare Buzz moves slowly. And the list goes on. Things are still easier after beating it once, though.
The storyline is horribly written in the game. For example: "I'm so mad that I can't see where I'm going!" However, you'd just skip the storyline cutscenes anyway. What? We've all done it.
But overall, this is a good game for the Genesis library that you should probably own. Unless if you have a more superior version of the game, or at least, what you think is superior.

Look I'm not gonna get into details about the game, because I think y'all could get the idea from the rest of reviews. I'm just gonna say that I totally agree what "BelPowerslave" said back 2009 about the GRAPHICS... just read on! Overall, I give it A+.

Toy Story Quick ReviewSep 29, 2009
By BelPowerslave
"Bel"
[...]
Following the story of the original movie(and pretty accurately, I might add) you play as Woody the toy cowboy....and....um....just go watch the movie to get the rest of the story, leave me alone!
What's it all about?
It's a sidescrolling, driving, flying and even first person shoot...er, walking, action game. Playing as Woody, you'll make your way through various scenes from the movie in a variety of playing styles. There's the traditional 2D sidescrolling sections that will have you moving through, trying to accomplish certain objectives before you can exit, and even racing portions where you'll ride Rex, Roller Bob and even just haul butt on your own two feet to make it to the finish. There are also overheard and third person racing missions where you'll control RC as you tear your way around the house and city. To add even more to the above mentioned modes, there is also a flying portion where you and Buzz will attempt to catch up to the moving truck while dodging trees, street lights and traffic. Finally, and most shockingly, there's even a first person mode where you are searching, and trying to free squeeze toy aliens inside the claw machine!
Graphics - Amazing. If you didn't know any better, you'd swear it was a 32X game...it's that impressive. Each and every level is filled with jaw-dropping special effects and silky-smooth animation. The characters are huge, and gorgeously rendered with an amazing amount of color in them. Each new mode you encounter will continually blow you away, even more so than the last, with the level of detail and innovation in the graphics; this, folks, is the most graphically advanced Genesis game I have ever seen.
Sound - Not bad, but in comparison to the amazing graphics the sound really just seems to lack that extra touch. Now, that's not to say any of it sucks by any means, just that its nothing too far past standard Genesis fare. The digitized voice bits are a little scratchy, but the rest of the sound effects are alright. Music is about as varied as the gameplay...and is of decent quality(I especially dug the light techno mix that accompanies you when driving with RC).
Control - Control is smooth with the exception of the overhead RC driving sections...and it's not even that the control sucks on that part so much as the physics are just messed up. You hit a wall and the car just freaks out spinning in all sorts of directions...it's tough to get it back under control, especially when you've got the non-stop energy meter of the batteries going down every second of play.
AI - Brutal. It's bad enough that most of the hits are cheap, but the fact that they're just hailing down on you *all the time* really drives it over the edge. Playing this game without the Unlimited Lives code from the Game Genie, I've *never* made it past level seven. To add to this, Continues are virtually impossible to earn(going through the entire game, collecting stars the entire way, I earned *one, 1, O-N-E* continue, and it was after my stars were tallied up ON THE LAST LEVEL)...
Replay value - Moderate. The game is still a lot of fun, even with its insane difficulty level. Using the Game Genie helps take a lot of the frustration out of it, so you can enjoy the feast of graphics and special effects that this amazing title delivers, over and over.
Tips for better gaming experiences:
On the two overhead RC racing sections, just *tap* the Gas button to make your way around the track, trust me, you'll wipe out a lot less. Also, be sure and try to follow the path the stars make around the tracks as this is generally either the best path to take, or leads you to another battery.
The Claw level, where you have to protect Buzz, is quite possibly the hardest level on the game. There are a few things to remember here to successfully make it though: A) You ONLY need to attack the claw when it actually grabs Buzz(it generally takes one to two hits to knock him loose) and B) Try to stand to the right of the Claw at all times...this makes it WAY easier to actually hit it with the alien toys.
Past that, it is my recommendation that, to have any fun with the game, you use the Unlimited Lives code via the Game Genie. Trust me, you *will* need it...
Game Genie:
Unlimited Lives: BJDA-AA7A
My rating: 95(out of 100) - One of the most graphically impressive Genesis games of all time. This is what you get when you mix Pixar/Disney animators(Disney Interactive) with a truly phenomenal development house(Traveller's Tales) and spike it with innovative play mechanics(Psygnosis). Sadly, the difficulty really hurts the title's playability, but hey, that's what the Game Genie is for right?

 Child's PlayJul 02, 2005
By Laura Hardin
"You can call me Laura"
I was watching Toy Story, on ABC, last night, and thought of this game. Since the day I got my Sega Genesis, back in the 90's, I have had this game. Because I was younger, back then, it was more fun. This game has become less challenging, through the years. I would recommend this game for children, ages 8 through 11/12. There are some hard levels, such as when you must use the RC car, to race through the level. But, I feel with practice any determined child can complete it. Toy Story is one player.
