Buzz Lightyear of Star Command

"This game is terrible."

This game is bad in every aspect any game could ever be. Geared towards children, I would have expected that it would be entertaining at least, but I was wrong. Very, VERY wrong.

Story-1
This game has no story at all. It's just a bunch of randomly assigned missions that seem to come out of nowhere and have no link to any of the other levels. One minute you will be on a planet chasing some big headed person that's blue, the next, chasing a cybernetic canine (or a machine dog if you don't understand big words.) Disney could have done better than this, as proved in Kingdom Hearts. All in all, the story is the worst I have ever seen besides Frogger, and I have over 70 games. If you love the story of a game to be complex and interesting, this is not the game for you.

Graphics-5
This is probably the only thing that keeps the game from getting a flat 1(or a zero if they would let me go that low.) The graphics aren't to good, but they aren't horrible. They can't compare to the PS2 or most other Playstation games, but they're better than some of the graphics I have seen. The game gears toward cartoon character animation, and gives an interesting experience for the first few levels, but gets old fast. The cut scenes are clips from the cartoon that contain strange fights and animation. The best thing in this game doesn't get a very high score, but compared to other aspects of the game, the graphics are to good to be in this game.

Control-5
The controls are easy enough to handle if you're on foot, but you will be tormented with trying to drive the hover board and hover car. The are difficult to drive because of all the things in your way, and have no weapons at all, which leaves you as an open target to be sniped at by the strange series of enemies that look like at two year old thought them up. Would be better if they had taken out the hover vehicles or at least equipped them.

Game Diversity (the amount of variety in the game)-1
For a game that has no links between the missions whatsoever, this has no diversity at all. Every single level has you chasing after a villain and fighting him at the end while breaking through his shield and arresting him afterwards. Every single level has you fighting the same enemies with the same weapons while paying for bonuses with little yellow and red triangles. It's no surprise that this category is this low. It's absolutely terrible.

Sound-1
The sound of this game is another terrible aspect of another Disney game. The gunfire is unrealistic and the lines of the characters are simply retarded like ''there's only room for one woman in my life-star command.'' The music is simply just bad. I could have done better singing the music myself. If you like the sound for this game, I seriously doubt your humanity.

Replay Value-1
I don't know why you would want to replay this game, I was bored by the second level. You might want to try to build XR and do time trial, but I highly doubt that. You would have to have an extremely long attention span to just finish the game, and I wouldn't know why you would want to anyway, unless someone bet you would lose interest before you could finish it.

All in all, this game is an absolute failure. I'm lucky I borrowed this game. If you see it in stores, I advise you not to buy it. If you see it in a rental store, I advise you not to pay more than a dollar or two and rent it only for a day. You will see why, I guarantee.
