[edit] Gameplay
Toy Story 3: The Video Game is a platformer, with players able to play as either Sheriff Woody, Buzz Lightyear, or Jessie. Woody can use his pull string to swing across certain areas, Buzz can fling other characters over long distances, and Jessie is the most agile and can balance on small platforms. Certain levels require players to switch between them to clear the levels.[4] There are two main modes, Story and Toybox. Story mode consists of nine levels and follows the events of the movie (as well as the opening videogame sequence from Toy Story 2). In Toybox mode, players can create and customize levels and fill it with inhabitants and missions. By completing various objectives within this world, players can earn money to unlock new objects and expand their city. Some of these objects are reported to include characters from other Disney/Pixar franchises.[5] [6]

[edit] Preview
Brian Rowe from GameZone.com had some time to sit down and play the game. "Andy is grown up and headed off to college, which is no place for a toy to be, so he donates his collection of plastic companions to a daycare center. The video game adaptation of Toy Story 3 is split into two separate modes - Story and Toy Box. Too often, games geared towards kids, especially those based on movies and TV shows, aspire to be little more than meaningless filler with recognizable characters. Instead, Avalanche is giving Toy Story 3 the attention it deserves, and more importantly, giving kids the sandbox-style gameplay that the big kids have."[7]
