Review: Toy Story 3 "Different From Typical Licensed Games"

It's summertime, and of course, along with long evenings, there's no shortage of licensed tie-ins. Over on the X-Play side, Abbie Heppe has been raving about Toy Story 3 and how it kept her sane the weekends before and after E3. I've finally gotten a verdict in on the game, and Scott Alan Marriott definitely agrees that the open-world mechanics of Woody and Buzz lend it plenty of life. He clarifies:

"Toy Story 3 offers something a bit different for those desiring a break from tradition. Sure, there are the typical platform levels in the story mode, but where Toy Story 3 switches gears is by offering a separate sandbox-style environment. Inspired by the franchise's fictitious television series, "Woody's Roundup," the game's toy box mode features a Wild West setting with lively townsfolk, quests, collectibles, and a variety of lighthearted challenges."
