The game of the sequel of the film, in case you were wondering, which - if you've yet to see it - is well worth a look. At least as good as the original, it's a heartwarming affair that mesmerises from the off, managing to provide top entertainment for the kids while throwing in enough cultural references to keep the adults nodding smugly (or guffawing wildly, in the case of some foreigners at a recent press screening).
As for the game, it's a competent platformer in which you assume the role of square-jawed Space Ranger, Buzz Lightyear, one of the leading characters of the films, and patron of the (technically impossible) catchphrase, 'To infinity and beyond!'. However, unlike the Buzz of the movies, the game character has even greater powers, notably the ability to fire his laser, perform a fancy spin, and even fly for a couple of seconds.
The story only tenuously follows that of the film, as watching a toy spaceman constantly miss a ledge by inches clearly wouldn't make for much of a movie. The action features appearances from much of the cast, including Rex the cowardly dinosaur, Hamm the piggy bank, Slinky Dog and Mr & Mrs Potato Head. New characters from the latest film also crop up, along with numerous video clips, which could prove something of a spoiler if you've not seen it.We've been waiting for a platform game to come along and reinvigorate the genre for ages and, not surprisingly, Toy Story 2 didn't exactly set our world alight.

Ultimately, the game was always going to suffer in comparison to the film, although in fairness it is definitely a cut above most merchandising tie-ins. If you buy it for a kid, don't be surprised to find yourself regularly 'helping out'.
