Product Description
The toys are back in town and at last they've got a video game to equal the brilliance of the movies. You can relieve the story from the new film if you want, but there's much more to this game than the usual film tie-in. The best bit of this game is the exclusive Toy Box mode, where you can play as Woody, Buzz or Jessie in the role of Sheriff in a toyland town. This mode uses all the same characters from the films but gives you complete freedom to play with all of them however you want - from exciting car (or horse and dragon) races to catching ghosts.
One special element of the Toy Box is magic goo that can change the size of any of the characters, which together with all the other collectable objects lets you completely customise the town, and the world of Toy Story, however you want. Key Features - Infinity and Beyond: More than just a film tie-in, explore the entire universe of Toy Story with all the familiar characters, locations and freeform sandbox style exploration.
- Game of the Film: Recreate the events of Toy Story 3 in story mode, complete with all the new characters and adventures.
- Virtual Sandbox: Jump into the exclusive Toy Box mode and explore a giant virtual toy world filled with interactive environments and fully customisable buildings.
- Accessories Included: Take part in exciting mini-games like car racing and unlock a range of special items, from a ghost-catching lightning rod to Buzz's ray gun.
- Toys for Two: Two-player split screen mode lets you play with friends and family in the same game, either co-operating or just doing your own thing.

A good game July 29, 2010

I started playing this game a few days ago and it's become quite addictive and is very enjoyable.
The game follows the film pretty well, as in the game you start off on the level where you have to save the train full of orphans. This level is quite a good introduction as you learn basic controls. A to jump, A + A to jump twice, flick the wii remote to run into objects etc. You soon notice there are objects to collect. The red capsules collect coins, the blue cards are collectables which once found can be viewed in Al's Toy Barn, and the blue capsules show you what to do if you get stuck. After completing this first level you are shown the game board. This is where you can access each level, once it has been unlocked or go into Toy Box mode. There are also three other areas on the game board. These are the cinema where you can view cutscenes you have already seen again, Extras which include credits, and Al's Toy Barn where you can view items you have found. After completing each level, you unlock a new one. These levels take place in order of the film, such as when you complete Sunny Side, you then unlock Bonnie's house. In the game you get to interact with lots of new characters such as Lotso, but others are only usually seen in cutscenes such as Daisy.
In the game you can play as three characters, Woody, Jessie and Buzz. You can also control Bullseye if one of the other characters is riding him. Each character has their own special ability. Woody can swing from objects, Jessie can jump and land on objects others can't and Buzz can throw further than the other two. To switch character you press the - button. Sometimes there is only one character that can complete a task so you get a fair use of them all.
One thing that annoys me about the game is that some levels are a lot longer than others, so that you may decide to take a break and come back to them. If you turn off your console and come back to that level you have to go back to the beginning of that level, the only thing that is saved is what collectables you have collected. This is quite annoying since some levels are long, and some parts of the level are hard to do. The game has been rated for children aged 7 and older, since it contains some violence. I would say the game is hard for a 7 year old to complete. As for the violence, this is mainly throwing balls at the aliens, or blasting lasers at robots, such as in the Buzz Video Game level.
As well as the main story, I also really like the Toy Box mode. Here you can play as either Woody, Buzz or Jessie and you have challenges to complete around the town. There are tons of these challenges and they often don't take very long to do. By completing these challenges you earn coins to spend in Al's Toy Barn, so the more toys you buy, the more challenges you have. Some of these challenges take a while such as rescuing Ham from bandits, or take about 10 seconds such as throwing a villager through the cactus. You can also customise your town (buildings, aliens, villagers) from different things you find in capsules. I liked how this part of the game included other Disney films, so that you can paint your buildings in a a Finding Nemo theme and dress your villagers in a Wall-E costume.
As for bugs and glitches, the game has been very well put together. None of my characters have never run into walls and become stuck, or items have become invisible. I have experienced one crash, but for the amount of hours I have played this game I'm not going to make a fuss of it. The graphics are also done very well, which you don't always see on the Wii and I love how well made the cutscenes are.
A Pretty Decent Movie Tie-In July 22, 2010

I bought this game for my young cousin, I was pleasantly surprised while playing to find it was enjoyable despite me expecting it to be a rushed movie tie-in ploy to grab some more money. He claims it to be one of his favourite Wii games in his collection so far and despite my age and the simplicity of the game, I have grown a soft spot for it.
While the story mode of the game is pretty enjoyable, most fun an be found in the 'Toy Box' where you can complete tonnes of quests as several of the characters. Once you've done a quest or two, more and more pile up expanding the choice you have and giving more freedom. If you get bored of doing the quests there are plenty of other fun things to do such as customising the town or going on races which are very nicely slotted into the game play.
Pros:
- Fun game, especially for the kids.
- Decently priced for a new game.
- Toy Box mode is very enjoyable.
- Controls are simple and easy to get a hang of.
- Good voice acting.
- Long lasting appeal for those who get into it.
Cons:
- Those older than the age of 12 may get bored quickly.
- Unlike the other console versions, you cannot play with friends in co-op.a
Conclusion: If you have kids, or a soft spot for Toy Story then this game is very enjoyable. However it's not perfect and some older players may get bored more quickly.
