Play Toy Story 3 (E) Online

I picked up Toy Story 3 for the Nintendo DS back in 2010, a Disney Interactive Studios release that came out alongside the movie. It was a time when licensed games were everywhere on the handheld, and this one stood out for actually trying to capture the spirit of the film without just rehashing it. The DS hardware was perfect for these kinds of adventures, with its dual screens and touch controls opening up some clever ways to interact with the world of Andy's room.

You mostly control Woody and Buzz across a series of missions that recreate key moments from the film, like the Sunnyside Daycare breakout or the frantic garbage incinerator escape. The gameplay shifts between platforming, light puzzle solving, and touch based minigames, like carefully herding the little green aliens through obstacle courses using the stylus. Objectives are clear and the pacing is brisk, though some sections can feel a bit repetitive if you get stuck. It’s a straightforward, cheerful experience that makes you feel like you’re playing inside the movie itself.
