 4 Different Modes September 4, 2010
Noname
I gave Toy Story 3 Nintendo DS to my six year old to play. Within a day, she beat the game twice. She enjoyed it; but after winning the second time, she hasn't been back to play it since.
There are four different modes of play. It must be noted that although this game is marked for two player multi-card play (two players can play provided they each have their own game), the multi-player mode is only available in the Playtime Mode.
STORY MODE
Play out the Toy Story movie scenes. It's very easy, because the top screen tells the player what to do. There are these balls players collect that guide them to the proper locations and the screen tells the players exactly which buttons to push when. The balls unlock more game elements, like costumes and mini games.
PLAYTIME
Playtime Mode is a collection of mini games from Storytime Mode. These must be unlocked by first playing the game in the Storytime Mode.
QUICK PLAY (IMAGINARY WORLD)
Quick Play is a collection of scenes from the Storytime Mode that can be revisited and replayed. The scenes must be unlocked first by playing them in the Storytime Mode.
DGAMER
Dgamer is an online community through a WiFi connection. Players can customize their avatar, chat, send gifts, etc. We do not use WiFi much in our house, so my children have not played this mode.
SUMMARY
This is a fun game for young kids. However, it is very short and interests wanes quickly once the game has been beaten. Two player mode is limited.
 A Fun Game August 31, 2010

Review of "Toy Story 3: The Video Game" for Nintendo DS. My little reviewers really like this game and give it two thumbs up! This game allows players to take control of Woody, Buzz, and Jessie as they experience adventures from the film and also enjoy the "open-world" gameplay of toybox mode. A perfect way to spend time on the DS. My little guys give it five stars!
Mediocre August 31, 2010

Toy Story 3 is an amazing property and deserves an amazing game. Unfortunately, the DS version seems very rushed and sloppy. The graphics are sometimes painfully chunky (though other times not so bad) and the story is presented with still images and bad music, rather than cutscenes from the movie as in some other DS games. More importantly, the often boring challenges, such as walking around to collect items, requires the ability to read to know what you are supposed to be doing (there is no voice acting to tell you this). So, the very young target audience that this sort of task seems aimed at is lost. Also, from the very first level in story mode, which has Woody walking down a train, the touch controls are poorly utilized. You are required to swipe up with the stylus to make Woody jump, rather than a simple button press. This makes jumping feel floaty and annoying. Story mode is mercifully short, though the final level in the trash is actually not so bad.
The game does have some redeeming qualities. The mine cart and space missions are fun, despite being overly sparse and repetitive. Also, there is a tower defense minigame that is actually very well done. It is a nice kid-friendly version of the concept. For those that don't know, tower defense games have you setting up weapons/soldiers (in this case, cute toy weapons) to protect a tower from waves of enemies. It requires some thoughtful planning, but is never too challenging.
I would only recommend this game to the most hardcore of Toy Story 3 fans. Otherwise, there are much better DS games for the money.
Excellent game for kids August 30, 2010

"Awesome! This is just like the movie!" said my 8-year old granddaughter when she played this game. The bottom line is anyone who is a Toy Story fan will love this game. It's easy to learn. She figured it out and showed me how to play, all in less than an hour.
For kids, 6-10-years old this is a fun yet challenging game with three game modes. Story Mode is fun because it follows the film's storyline. Imaginary World is more of a thinking game and encourages kids to use their imaginations as they make believe missions and fly through space as Buzz or catch the runaway train as Woody. The Playtime mode contains levels of achievement - Old West, Space, Farm, Bonnies, Prehistoric - that are unlocked for play as each level is completed. These non-violent games involve strategy and decision-making. And if kids are interested in communicating with other players, this game features DGamer mode.
For adults, this is an amusing game to pass the time without feeling like you are committing yourself to hours and hours of play. My granddaughter says this game now tops her list of favorite games. This game is a great value for the price.
A Nice Tie-In Game August 30, 2010

Movie tie-in games can either be a big hit (many of the Star Wars titles) or a big miss (the E.T. game for the Atari 2600 back in the day).
Somewhere in between that is the tie-in game for "Toy Story 3." It's not a top notch game, but it's not a quick knock-off designed to cash in on the popularity of the movie franchise. It's a solid, fun little game that will challenge kids and adults, all while helping relive the movie version. There are a couple of game play modes including--story, playtime and tower defense. Playtime allows you to relive certain games from the story mode.
Of the three, Tower Defense may be the most entertaining, as you help Buzz or Woody defend your tower against attacks. However, the story mode has its moments though if you haven't seen the latest "Toy Story" installment, it may spoil some things for you.
I've not played a lot of the other Pixar tie-in games so I can't compare this one to others. I found it solid and enjoyable enough--a fun way to relive the movie and to explore the universe a bit more. It's fairly easy to control and straight-forward enough that younger games probably won't get frustrated by it.
