Toy Story Racer Game Announced
Santa Monica, CA, March 2, 2001 -- The toys from Disney's Toy Story animated feature film are pitted against each other in Disney/Pixar's "Toy Story Racer" for the PlayStation game console and Nintendo Game Boy Color from Disney Interactive, Pixar Animation Studios and Activision, Inc.

The video games are rated ``E'' by the ESRB and are available for a suggested retail price of $39.99 (PlayStation game console) and $29.99 (Game Boy Color).

A remote controlled racing adventure game, "Toy Story Racer" lets players select one of 12 Toy Story characters, including Buzz Lightyear, Woody and Hamm, each with a unique vehicle and signature driving style. Players can revisit some of their favorite environments from the movie with 18 tracks and surprise pick-ups.

The game's intuitive artificial intelligence (AI) ``learns'' from each player's performance and adjusts to his or her skill level on the fly. Additionally, unique character-specific challenges open up hidden characters and quests, allowing the game to unfold like a storybook. More than 150 character challenges include racing, chasing and stunt driving.
