Toy Story 3 Gets Exclusive PS3 Content

It's not exactly the huge exclusive that'll drive sales, but Disney Interactive has released details about Playstation Move support and an exclusive playable character only available in the PS3 version of the Toy Story 3 video game.

The game is set for release June 15, ahead of the theatrical debut of the Toy Story 3 movie. Like typical Disney movie-based games, players will progress through a linear story-driven adventure that follows the progression of the film. That's the core mode of gameplay.


There's also a mode called "Toy Box," which lets players complete various missions and walk around in an open-world environment. This is where the PS3 exclusive part comes in.

In Toy Box mode, PS3 owners will be able to play as the main villain, Emperor Zurg. The Dart Vader-inspired toy bad guy will not be available in any other console version of the game. Additionally, even though the game comes out next month, it will be updated to add functionality with the Playstation Move motion controller when that is released this fall.

"It was cool working with Sony and this new technology to create downloadable mini-games designed specifically for this new motion controller," wrote producer John Day on the Playstation Blog. Further details about the Move's compatibility were not discussed, but this makes Toy Story 3 the first third-party game to announce a future game update for Move support. It's rare for a movie tie-in game to make big news, but Toy Story 3 is definitely noteworthy.
