What kid hasn’t dreamed about his or her toys springing to life, each one featuring their own unique personality and special ability? G.I. Joe, Transformers, He-Man, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles may have been our toys of choice as kids, but as adults, we are proud that today’s youth are drawn to cloth-body cowboy and a plastic-spaceman action figure. Perhaps we sound a bit old, but kids these days spend too much time with their MyBooks and iFeels. Therefore, we couldn’t be happier that a whole new generation of kids are being introduced to the wonderful world of toys – plain and simple toys.
OK, that may have been a bit rough on kids. After all, we’re pretty much obsessed with technology and mind-dulling video games. Somehow the creators of Toy Story 3: The Video Game have managed to blend today’s technology with yesterday’s wholesome fun. And what may be the biggest surprise, this is a game based (loosely) on the movie of the same name. It’s pretty much a fact that games based on movies fail, but Toy Story 3 succeeds in offering nearly every gamer a truly enjoyable experience.
The game’s story mode follows Andy’s toys, mainly Woody, Buzz, and Jessie, with a lose tie-in to the actual movie. While the vast majority of the story mode’s eight levels consist of basic platforming, you’ll also get the chance to fly around as Buzz, ride the rails, and even do some entertaining mini-games like racing or discovery quests. This is one of the shortest story modes in gaming; expect to breeze through this quest in roughly four to six hours.
