Gameplay

Toy Story 3: The Video Game is a platformer, with players able to play as either Sheriff Woody, Buzz Lightyear, or Jessie. Woody can use his pull string to swing across certain areas, Buzz can fling other characters over long distances, and Jessie is the most agile and can balance on small platforms. Certain levels require players to switch between them to clear the levels.[4] There are two main modes, Story and Toybox. Story mode consists of nine levels and follows the events of the movie (as well as the opening videogame sequence from Toy Story 2). In Toybox mode, players can create and customize levels and fill it with inhabitants and missions. By completing various objectives within this world, players can earn money to unlock new objects and expand their city. Some of these objects are reported to include characters from other Disney/Pixar franchises.[5][6]
