Description previously seen at Allgame.com, continued:
Varying activities are found between Andy's Room, Sid's Room and Pizza Planet; you'll begin in the former room after signing in. While in Andy's Room, you can participate in a few games including Sums Up, Five in a Row and Marble Art. As a card game, the objective behind Sums Up is to reach the mentioned limit number by discarding the right amount of cards. Winning comes in the form of either hitting this number or by having Hamm go over the limit.
After showing off your elite card skills, engage in a heated battle between the Green Army Men and the Little Tikes Toddle Tots. Played against a computer-controlled or human opponent, your mission in Five in a Row is just as it says - you'll need to have five game pieces lined up in a row, either horizontally, vertically or diagonally in order to win. Additionally, you'll want to prevent the enemy forces from doing the same. Once you've conquered the opposing army, design abstract creations in Marble Art. Rather than creating a lifeless, dull picture, you can use special effects such as dim, chase, twinkle, rainbow and an eraser to create a masterpiece!
In Sid's Room, there are different puzzle categories in which to select including Perfect Fit, The Last Straw, Continue It and Odd Shape out; you'll basically match certain shapes together and single out shapes that don't belong. Afterwards, try your hands at the Creature Creator. Aptly named, you'll create your very own toy using various parts through a series of levels. Levels become progressively harder as you'll need to do more things in order to succeed. Finally, check out Sid's Sonic Boom Box and create your very own soundtrack! You'll utilize all kinds of effects including tempo, pitch, echo, reverbs and flange.
In case you’re feeling hungry, head on over to the Pizza Planet for some more Toy Story action! Featuring one or two player support, Slimon is a game of memory and sequencing. In the tradition of Simon Says, Succession comes by memorizing patterns of colored slime. Fusion Flow features a disjointed 3D maze in which you must piece together. While avoiding hazards and various objectives, you'll piece together pipe shapes to get from point a to point b. Last but not least is the Mystic Portal Theater. When you've done all the activities you can, kick back and enjoy your favorite clips from the Toy Story movie.

The Pixar Activity Centres often fare better than their Disney counterparts with an art style and creativity to match the big screen counterparts. Toy Story 2 is no different. All four games are worthy time-wasters with deeper gameplay than the usual fare. First up is Cone Chaos, a re-skinned version of Frogger. You have to guide a number of toys hidden under traffic cones across a busy street. Cars will swerve if the cone stands still although fire engines will just plough straight through. While entirely playable, Cone Chaos remains the worst mini-game of the four. The cars, trucks and fire engines that rush across the screen are imbalanced and poorly placed with some levels requiring cars to spin out of the cone's way in order to succeed. Not bad, but it's no Frogger.Next up is Toy Shelf Showdown. As Buzz Lightyear, you travel across shelves dropping rocket ship parts into place so you can reach Emperor Zurg and gut out hs Duracells. Toy robots are patrolling the shelves and if one of them touches you, you will drop to the shelf below. If you get hit on the bottom shelf, you will lose a life. To protect yourself, you have a limited number of laser blasts that will temporarily stun them, but being a kids game they're still easy enough to avoid. Ultimately it's a fun if shallow arcade platformer in a similar vein way to Burger Time.
Things get a bit more cerebral in Critter Corral, a western themed take on Chinese Checkers. The aim is to move all of your critters to the other player's starting points. You can get there quicker by leapfrogging over strategically placed pieces which is a must on the hardest difficulty. Even so, this setting is still pretty easy so if you want more of a challenge you can play with one of your more intelligent friends. You'd just have to convince them of it first.
Finally, there's Luggage Lunacy, another above average mini-game for the series. Buzz has to jump over a maze of suitcases to reach the one that holds a trapped Woody. Some cases will have you jump over gaps, while cardboard boxes will collapse if you stand on them long enough. There are a good number of levels here too, suitably gaining difficulty as you go. Or you can just jump straight to the challenging stuff by selecting the hardest difficulty.
The other two activities are art based and are ones that remain firmly for the little ones. You can create an animated comic book that's better looking than the one found in The Emperor's New Groove: Groove Centre that came out a few years later. It doesn't have the same zany humour so you won't catch yourself in a chortle as you would with Kuzco's sarcastic barbs. You also have a Printing Press, which I didn't really look into it that deeply. Unlike other games in the series that emulate an older version of Windows, this one runs out of the box so you might be able to use this feature as intended.
When you boot up Toy Story 2: Activity Centre, it gets right to the point. There's no real storyline or creative use of a menu. Instead, we have an old style TV modelled on the Woody's Roundup set seen in the movie. You change the channels to highlight the activity you want, click on it and that's it. It's telling how good the overall package is that the missing bells and whistles of other entries aren't noticed. In all honesty, I'd rather have a number of good activities than an interesting presentation.
As most of the games are based on existing properties, you can find some technically better versions of each one of them for free on smartphones or through your browser. None of them online will carry the charm of the Toy Story license, however, and to a Disneyphile like me that's a big selling point. Like it's Pixar predecessor, Toy Story 2 stands as one of the best Activity Centres of the lot.
