10 Massively Underrated Video Games Based On Movies

10. Toy Story 2: Buzz Lightyear To The Rescue

One of the reasons Toy Story 2 was such a superior sequel – along with Zurg, the plane chase and that cute donkey - was the role Buzz Lightyear played in the story; no longer was he a big dumb space toy, he was now a self-aware piece of plastic and very much the hero of the picture.

Buzz Lightyear To The Rescue offers a Space Ranger’s view of the film’s plot, where players have to guide Buzz through the aftermath of Woody being plucked from a garage sale and held captive at Al’s Toy Barn. Best played on either the N64 or Dreamcast, the game expands on areas seen briefly in the movie – Andy’s neighbourhood, the surrounding side streets and the barn itself are standouts – littering levels with various coins and Pizza Planet collectables to keep things interesting.

There are a variety of moves and gadgets at your disposal, from the familiar laser attack – which is an actual laser in this game, as opposed to a ‘little lightbulb that blinks’ – to a glide ability and an odd but effective butt stomp. It’s this mix of level design and gameplay that makes this a memorable movie to game port.
