Tom Hanks, Tim Allen, Joan Cusack, Don Rickles, Estelle Harris, John Ratzenberger, Wallace Shawn, Jeff Pidgeon, Jodi Benson, R. The plot focuses on the adventures of Woody, Buzz Lightyear, and other toys dealing with an uncertain future as their owner prepares to leave for college. Toy Story 3 was also the first of only two films to be released theatrically with 7.1 surround sound, the second being Step Up 3D. In his place, Ken Schretzmann is the editor. Lee Unkrich, who edited the previous films and co-directed the second film, took over as director. The film was produced by Pixar Animation Studios and released by Walt Disney Pictures. It is the third feature-length film in the Toy Story franchise. What are your memories of Toy Story 3? Head to the comments section and let’s talk.Toy Story 3 is a 2010 American 3D computer-animated film. It is a game that will stick with me throughout the rest of my gaming career, not just for the bloody annoying Sneaky Sneaky achievement, but for the sheer amount of joy to be had exploring this open-world, playing the part of Woody riding on the back of Bullseye. The story mode didn’t take longer than six hours to complete, but the real meat of the game – and most fun – was in Toy Box mode. Toy Story 3 was a game that both big and little kids could enjoy. It is therefore a shame that the latest Toy Story 4 film didn’t get a tie-in video game on consoles (though the less said about that film the better, in my humble opinion). Much like the previous Toy Story games, they are by far better than most licensed games. To seal the deal, both story mode and Toy Box mode featured drop-in/drop-out local multiplayer, which was great for kids and parents to play together.įor those that missed it when first released – and subsequently when given away as part of the Xbox Games with Gold scheme – Toy Story 3 is available as part of the Backwards Compatibility programme at the price of £8.99, allowing you to not just play on Xbox 360, but also on Xbox One.
Most other open-worlds would give you the tools in a fully built world, but here you got to see the world-building first hand. The real beauty of Toy Box mode was that you felt like you were building your own sandbox to explore. For me and many others, this was the main mode of Toy Story 3 the story mode felt rushed and like a last-minute addition in comparison. Other Pixar franchises were present including Finding Nemo, WALL-E, The Incredibles and Monsters, Inc. Toy Box mode was chock-a-block with things to do and hidden items, and not just from Toy Story. Once you started to unlock extra areas you could really start to explore the surroundings.
By completing missions and errands you earned gold to buy new buildings and areas from the world-famous Al’s Toy Barn. It quickly built up with several additions, including a race track, a spaceport for Emperor Zurg, and tons more. This level started with Woody being told his friends are locked up in various places inside Sunnyside Daycare, and that they would need to avoid the spotlights and evil Buzz Lightyear who was patrolling the ground.Īt the start of Toy Box mode there was only a small Western town where Sheriff Woody was in charge. For a platformer to contain a stealth section is always going to trigger a red flag in my mind, but this was something else. For this, you had to complete the Prison Break level without tripping any alarms. One in particular that will forever stand out in my head is the achievement called Sneaky Sneaky. Having the level select was useful, as specific levels had bonus objectives to complete which granted players achievements. Once a level was completed it could be replayed at any time by choosing it from the select menu, which was represented as a board game not unlike The Game of Life, with each level represented by a building along the path. The story mode was very run of the mill: levels were based around certain sections of the film, including the runaway train from the opening scenes, the prison break and the incinerator (though the game version of this scene was far less heartbreaking).
