Disney/Pixar Toy Story 3

Toy Story 3 is clearly targeted at a much younger demographic of players than the vast majority of Xbox 360 releases, but there's plenty of entertainment value for young adults that grew up on the Toy Story movies.

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.

Its Pixar charm makes it well worth trying, but it never reaches the level of brilliance that you hope it will. [Aug 2010, p.80]

Toy Story isn't just a game for kids; fans of the trilogy should have no reservations about picking this one up.

The open world's fun and the story missions are playable and totally action-packed. [Issue#62,p.90]

Hugely enjoyable for the most part, Toy Story 3 can certainly be considered amongst the best of film to videogame tie-ins.

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.

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.

Toy Story is a very good game, provided you are aiming for young kids.

So despite its short-comings, Toy Story 3 is a remarkably solid licensed game. It's not going to blow any brains or break boundaries, instead it's going to give kids and even grown ups, certainly Pixar fans, a solid and cheerful experience.

It's all clearly aimed at kids, but if you let yourself, you'll find it easy to get sucked right in alongside the young'uns. Toy Story 3 is full of non-corrupting sandbox play that's genuinely addicting. As for as movie games go, you can do much worse.

A very good game for children of all ages. [Issue#99, p.124]

Despite not always so neat graphics and handling (especially with the jumps), the two complementary modes of Toy Story 3 create an astonishing game, fun and deep.

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.

Thoughtfulness pulls Toy Story 3 form the Pixar game mire. [Sept 2010, p.101]
