But then you're immediately introduced to Toy Box mode, something that takes what could've been an unremarkable game and makes it impressive. Toy Box mode puts you into Woody's Roundup, a place filled with toys, missions, characters, mini-goals, racing, and more.
It's essentially a sandbox game when you step in, and there is a lot to do here. First, you can accept missions from townsfolk to perform, things that range from painting buildings to fighting giant enemies. At the toy shop, you can purchase more toys to play with, like more townsfolk and weapons, and even more areas to play in. These include places like Zurg's Spaceport and Sid's Haunted House, each with their own little tool that can destroy enemies and take out targets scattered around the landscape.
The place is fully customizable, too. Hundreds of capsules are scattered everywhere, filled with ways to customize your little townspeople, aliens, and buildings. There's actually a set of missions where you must look at photographs well, pict-o-graphs , and customize characters and locations so that they match up with what you see.
The buildings each have their own uses, so once you erect a jail you have a place to lock up pesky criminals, and the tailor's shop is a fine place to give your alien friend some new clothes. Customization tools are not just limited to what you would find in the Toy Story movies, either. You can dress your people up as Wall-E or put Nemo fins on the sides of your buildings if the desert theme seems a bit dry.
Being able to color your citizens and buildings however you like lets you inject a bit of your own personality into the game, but that's sadly as far as the customization options go.
You can't actually set up your own obstacle course or race track, so it's just a matter of unlocking everything you can instead of crafting your own. Still, there is a lot of content here, and it's easy to get sucked into completing missions and buying new toys. The impressive number of unlockable goodies gives this game a lot of replay value.
Every level from the story mode contains hidden items, and you will most likely need to visit stages a few times to find everything there is. Toy Box mode has extra outfits and bonus characters strewn about the large map, giving you a worthwhile reason to get off the beaten path to find those lost items.
There is a two-player mode as well that lets another player hop in at any time. The split-screen action can make fast-paced race sequences a little more difficult to complete, but exploration with a friend by your side is even more fun than going through the game alone. Toy Story 3 may not be able to reach the lofty heights of Pixar's movies, but it is a fun game for youngsters who want to play around in this colorful world. The variety of activities ensures there is something new to see in every level, and though none of the missions are deep, they do offer plenty of simple fun.
Control issues lead to a number of unavoidable deaths, but the forgiving checkpoint ensures that you won't have to backtrack much if you end up in a bottomless pit. In This Article.
