Buzz Lightyear of Star Command features 9 environments and 14 levels of space-age hero action-adventure in what can best be described as a platform racer. No, there are no vehicles involved, or at least not for the most part, but each level acts as a race to the finish. Still confused?

Oct 18, 2000 Experienced and discerning gamers would do well to steer clear of Buzz Lightyear of Star Command, as the game is simplistic and light. Developed by Traveller's Tales, Disney/Pixar's Buzz Lightyear of Star Command is a third-person action-adventure game set in rendered real-time environments based on.

Well, let me explain. After a briefing before each level from Commander Nebula, Buzz Lightyear immediately comes face to face with each of the bosses. Rather than face off against the evil pawn though, the objective is to race the henchmen to his getaway spot so you can arrest him properly. This makes no sense to me since once you get to the getaway spot, you have to fight the bad guy anyway. You can literally walk right beside Torque on the first level but you can't do anything to him until you reach his destination.

The goal of each level, as I mentioned, is to beat the henchmen to his getaway area. If the boss gets to the spot before you do, you have 15 seconds to get there before the mission is a failure. In other words, the entire game is a race against time. While there are plenty of items scattered throughout each level, it's rather useless when you know you can't take a moment or two out of your schedule to pick up a few things, you must proceed rather quickly or you'll fail the level. Players start with the standard-issue Space Ranger laser, but you can purchase additional weapons and power-ups throughout each level.
