PALGN writes: "After a decade long wait, fans of the Toy Story franchise rejoiced at the release of Toy Story 3. Ever since the release of the first Toy Story film characters like Buzz, Woody and those little green aliens from Pizza Planet have held a special place in the hearts of millions. So when this game was announced and released, most of those fans ran as far as they could, hoping to avoid their love for Toy Story being tarnished by a lackluster movie tie-in. In the end, their fears were unfounded. Toy Story 3: The Video Game is a 3D platformer, with a few little extra bits mixed in, both during the story campaign and an open world sand box mode titled ‘Toy Box’. It’s a fairly competent game, the controls work, the music is great and it carries the aesthetic from the Toy Story films. Sadly the short length and unemotional voice acting negatively impact on the experience."

VGChartz's Adam Cartwright: "There are few brands out there that have anything like the appeal and recognition of Disney. Thanks to decades of beautiful and critically acclaimed animated films, the company is a household name that has expanded beyond just movies to include a variety of other ventures, including videogames. Disney has also grown its lineup considerably in recent years by acquiring Marvel, Pixar, and Star Wars (although for the purposes of this article, I’ll only be covering Disney/Pixar output).
Thanks to their broad audience, Disney games usually show up on every viable platform out there, meaning that despite the brand’s affinity with Nintendo’s younger-skewing audience, both the PSP and Vita received a number of titles throughout their lives. Some of this was through Disney's own developer/publisher (Disney Interactive Studios), but the firm also licensed out its IPs for other companies to try their hand at – with somewhat mixed results."
With Toy Story debuting in the Kingdom Hearts universe, WWG looks back at the ups and downs from Woody and Buzz's previous video game adventures.
1 and 2 on PS1 were amazing, I remember being amazed by the graphics, they really nailed the level design and scale of the toys compared to the rooms.
I remember playing Toy Story 2: Buzz Lightyear to the Rescue, when I stayed home from school because I was sick.
It's really fun, great game
