 Do you hear that sound? Yep it's me eating my words! June 16, 2010

So my take on any licensed game is that it is a piece of you-know-what. Let's be honest - if not attached to "the name" most of these games couldn't be given away let alone sold. The last Toy Story game Toy Story Mania! did not really live up to our expectations and was just a bunch of mini games. My kids liked WarioWare: Smooth Moves and Mario Party 8 much better.
I have been following this game for months - uncharacteristic of me for a licensed game. Bluntly I was not going to plunk down my cold hard cash for this if it was not worthwhile - Toy Story name or not. I've read reviews with the developers and studio and it sounded like they got their stuff straight. So I decided to forge ahead with a Day 1 purchase. Yep folks..day 1. I'm in a bit of a daze myself honestly.
My kids have played it for many hours today (was my son's birthday last weekend and this was a delayed gift so today was a special day..I don't normally let them play this much!)and so far I am impressed. I-M-P-R-E-S-S-E-D. The Wii graphics, to me, are nothing special but they get the job done. Music is exactly as expected (various themes and all that). The gameplay is tight - controls are spot on for us and we've had no difficulties. I can tell if my son has difficulties and he has not once gotten frustrated that the remote isn't doing what it is supposed to - controls were easy to learn.
There have been a few confusing parts but my older daughter figured them out (parents just be aware that your little guy/girl might need some help to figure out what to do in a few places). The kids have played in the regular mode (story) and the new box mode that is like a sandbox of fun things to do. That Box mode is SUPER FUN y'all! In terms of the regular story mode it's pure action adventure like other games of its type such as Scooby Doo! First Frights and Spongebob Squarepants The Movie both of which my kids enjoyed a lot and were worth a purchase.
So far there is little to no frustration (except those few parts that are a bit confusing on what to do for a littler guy/gal). Characters are good and the story is actually o.k. I haven't seen the movie so can't say if it follows it or not at this point. At nearly 4 hours in he hasn't completed it. This is in contrast to Coraline which clocked in a little under 2 hours to completion. I would compare the Toy Story 3 favorably with two other of my son's favorite games that are licensed Spiderman: Friend or Foe and Ben 10 which come highly recommended from my family to you!
My kids wanted to keep playing - already at almost 4 hours I can tell that it's a keeper. Normally they don't even get 30 minutes if it's going to be a dud. I will update this review next weekend to reflect an update as well as I suspect we'll have another 8 hours or so into the game by that point.I'll let you know if anything changes my rating but as of now this one's a winner!
EDITED 6/23/2010: We do not seem to be encountering the issues with targeting that others are reporting in Buzz's world. I actually watched my daughter start another file (we have 3 save files with our game) to give me her input on this and last night watched her play all the way through Buzz's level. She didn't have any problems with targeting (now she did find some of the platforming elements challenging but then they usually are). Platformers are her favorite type of game and she's played through many of the toughest (Super Mario Advance on GBA and others) and is quite experienced with them. We could see where some elements could be very challenging (like how a Mario game can be). My son's been playing the more sandbox type environment - and he is still having a lot of fun. For him it is sufficient - I'm sure he would rather have had the way more freedom 360 or PS3 version but we don't have one of those consoles. If you are looking for the ultra freedom toy box you should look at the 360 or PS3 version over the Wii if you have them. If he got stuck in the story mode his sister would help him. They do not play 2 player together (they rarely ever do). They play beside each other taking turns and she will help him out occasionally when needed.
We are now over 12 hours in and they still enjoy it. Maybe they just don't notice the flaws or compensate for them..but as of right now for my family 12 hours for $50 is not a bad deal. The movie for 2 hours set me back the same amount (tickets, popcorn and soda only). If you'd like to get a sense for the game you can always check it out first (via rental and such).
A whole lotta fun!!! June 28, 2010

We bought this game for our 4 boys, even my 7 year old loves it. They love how they can personalize the game and how many different scenarios there are. One of their favorites is the stunt park and being able to change your car to a monster truck or to a tiny car. There are so many amazing aspects to this game that they love that I can't share them all. Needless to say, they are happy with it.
My kids say they love it and told me to post that on here. July 2, 2010

My sons who are 7 and 10 got it today and they have been laughing and having so much fun together with it. This was the goal in finding a game this past week-something they could have fun with and play together. The split screen means they can play simultaneously but they don't have to be in the same spot. They love throwing the balls at each other, picking each other up, throwing each other down the well hole, racing on the horses, painting the buildings. My older son likes how your character can go around and climb on stuff and that you can kick things and throw things and Woody's Roundup, where you build the town. My younger son likes that you can run into people and the noises they make when you do things to them.
Fun! August 31, 2010

Fun Factor: I have my 12 and 9 year old nephews playing this game and they love it. They are having a whale of a time. They like the Woody's Round Up mini game as well. They play for hours on end and have to be taken away from it for their own good.
Controls/Gameplay: They aren't having any trouble controlling everybody and the movement is fine. On some Wii games the characters don't always do what you want, when you want or as quickly as you want. No problem here.
Users: The boys definitely prefer playing with two people over playing just one. Nice to hear from two boys who always seem to marking territory. ;-D
Rating: Really is for everybody.
All in all a fun game that takes you back to the movie in all the best ways.
Awesome Game, Super Fun! June 22, 2010

Excellent game, all the characters are in the game! I can't get my 6 year old daughter away from it. You start out as Woody galloping on Bullseye then you're on a crazy train ride to save the orphans, you can go in Woody's room with Buzz and choose which character you want to be, so my daughter is always Jessie. There is Al's Toy Barn where you buy stuff. And we've only just begun. Fun to watch and fun to play, we love it!
