I am a huge fan of Angry Birds and of the Toy story series. And when you combine these two popular franchises together, you get Toy Story: Smash It. This is a puzzle game, with good use of Toy story characters and settings, a dash of Angry Birds, with block-physics, in a 3D view.
When you start the game you are in control of Buzz Lightyear. And your goal is simple: throw the ball, and knock down the block
on which the 3-eyed aliens are on. But like Angry birds you will only
have limited shots to knock down your targets. And soon enough the
player will be given the ability to move left and right in order to find
the best angle to strike.
As you progress further into the game you will encounter various objectives like knocking down block
tower and collecting letters to spell “TOY”, you’ll play different
levels settings (episodes) such as Emperor Zurg, and Hamhock’s Wild
West, and you will also use different types of balls that include a
rocket-powered wreakers, and blow-up balloons.
The puzzles also do get difficult, making it harder to get that 3-star
rating, but at the same time gives it a replay value to a certain
degree.
My only problem with the game is Buzz is the only playable character,
which was disappointing. It would have been fun to play as Woody, Rex,
Jessie, or even Mr. Potato head.
Toy Story: Smash it, is a simple, solid, fun, yet addicting concept. Controls are easy and simple enough to learn. It’s a fun game for all ages. If you are a fan of the series or just want to play something different, it is worth your time and money to go to infinity and beyond and play it.
Final rating: 3.5 out 5
