Synopsis :
Toy Story 3 (also known as Toy Story 3: The Video Game) is a 2010 platform game developed by Avalanche Software and published by Disney Interactive Studios. It is loosely based on the film of the same name. It was released for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Wii, Windows, and Mac OS X. A Nintendo DS version was developed by n-Space, while Disney Mobile Studios developed and published an iOS game based on the film. Another version was developed by Asobo Studio and released for PlayStation 2 and PlayStation Portable.
By February 2008, Disney and Pixar had rejected THQ’s pitch to develop the film’s video game adaptation, choosing instead to have it developed by Disney’s Avalanche Software. A 10-person team from Pixar aided Avalanche in developing the game. Most of the voice cast from the film reprised their characters for the game. Toy Story 3 includes a story mode that loosely recreates the film’s events, and the Toy Box mode, consisting of a western town that can be freely roamed and customized by the player. The game was well received by critics, particularly for its Toy Box mode. The game was a top-seller in the UK.
Toy Story 3: The Video Game is based on the film. Sheriff Woody, Buzz Lightyear, Jessie, and others are among toys who previously belonged to a boy named Andy. Now 17 years old, Andy has donated his toys to a girl named Bonnie before leaving for college. Three of Andy’s toys – Hamm, Rex and Slinky Dog – tell Bonnie’s original toys about an adventure they had prior to being donated to Bonnie. Andy’s toys explain that they were donated to the Sunnyside Daycare center, run by a friendly stuffed bear named Lotso. The toys later learn that Sunnyside is a toy prison run by Lotso, who turns out to be a disgruntled ruler of the daycare toys. Andy’s toys escape through a trash chute and wind up in a garbage truck, which takes them to a landfill, where they are about to be destroyed by a trash shredder. In the PlayStation 2 (PS2) and PlayStation Portable (PSP) versions, the toys are saved by Andy’s Alien toys (like in the film). In the other versions, it is Woody, Buzz and Jessie who save the other toys. In addition, the PS2 and PSP versions feature only Rex telling the story, through drawings that he has created.
