This game (along with the movie) is mostly appreciated by those who grew up watching 'TOYS'. Absolute Entertainment gives us a game that follows the movie pretty well. You battle in 3 areas, destroying waves of toys that protect deadly cameras. In the 4th area (which is the hardest), you dodge toy helicopters and buildings above the Manhattan Model.

The good toys that you get to use have are all different, each having their own unique power and movement.

The bad toys, however, can follow you and are usually much stronger than anything you have in your inventory. But still, no matter how difficult the game gets, it's still fun destroying all of these toys.

I'm not gonna lie- the game gets nearly impossible in the last level. You're faced with dodging countless helicopters and buildings, while trying to recharge your plane though energy coils at the same time. This is where I ask myself, 'What were they thinking?'

Graphics were pretty good for their time (I mostly like them because I was awe-struck as a child.) The toys each have their own unique movements, the simple level designs suit the gameplay.

Sound, however, is not so good. It's actually rather monotonous. Sound effects for the toys are pretty basic. The duck sounds like the duck... and that's about it. The peanut gun gets kind of annoying too. Music wise, the title song is reminiscent of the movie theme. The rest is okay, but not spectacular.
