This fun take on the Pixar movie has lots of entertaining content for younger players, but control issues and a lack of depth limit its appeal.
-
Toy Story is a very good game, provided you are aiming for young kids.

Toy Story 3 is a fun licensed game. It's never really excellent, but the overall experience is just fun thanks to the variation and co-op mode.
-
Compared to most other licensed games out there, Toy Story 3 doesn't have to feel ashamed. Quite the opposite in fact. Indeed it is not technically beyond reproach, most notably because of a few frame rate issues when playing with a friend, but overall the formula holds its ground OK. The two main modes of gameplay complete each other nicely, and even though it's supposed to target kids, most adult gamers could very well be surprised. It's rich enough and well designed, and even though it has some gameplay flaws as well, it's still a decent adaptation of the movie : something not so common after all.

Toy Story 3 is a fun romp where you can set aside your inhibitions and play like you are a child again.

Playstation Official Magazine AustraliaToybox mode is where the game hits its peak, offering open-world style gameplay packed with mini challenges geared towards a generation of kids far too young to be powersliding buses through parked cars and prostitutes in Liberty City. [August 2010 p77]

Despite the simplicity of the challenges and processes of interaction, Toy Story convinces in the empathy and voicing of the characters. For the children a small box of toys is always a party.

PSM3 Magazine UKCombines glossy but vapid action with thoughtful sandboxing. [Sept 2010, p.94]

Playstation: The Official Magazine (US)Thankfully, developer Avalanche gets it at least half right in Toy Story 3, an adventure that's of two minds on how to do a movie licensed game. [Aug 2010, p.86]
-
Toy Story 3 offers two separate takes on the game. One is the rather bland story driven journey, and the other is the amazing sandbox mode. The latter is where this game shines. It provides great fun and a fantastic playground for both kids and grown-ups.
-
Toy Story 3 is a prime example of a film-tie in done right for once, that offers a compelling banquet of good clean fun.
-
Hugely enjoyable for the most part, Toy Story 3 can certainly be considered amongst the best of film to videogame tie-ins.
