Disney/Pixar Toy Story Mania!

Fans of the movies, Disney, and carnival-style games will find a lot to like about Toy Story Mania. Its loyalty to the franchise along with its accessible gameplay will make it an endearing addition to the Wii library. Everyone else, however, might feel disenchanted by its repetitive gameplay, problematic motion control, and overall brevity.

Toy Story Mania! is a solid mini-game collection. There are the original funny characters, the original voices and a really cool atmosphere. Only the missing variety and the bad controls are some drawbacks – but all in all it‘s a solid Nintendo Wii game.

Toy Story Mania! is yet another mini game compilation on the Wii and though the midway style of games are enjoyable at times, the game is far too easy.

It's not worth it as a standalone game, because though you'll want to like it, you won't. It's just another collection of mini-games.

In conclusion, Disney have a fantastic franchise and it's a shame that they drop the ball every now and then and unfortunately Toy Story Mania! is one of those moments.

Unfortunately Toy Story Mania squanders its substantial potential through poor design choices and technical issues.

The Shooter section is nice and funny, but the other minigames aren't that good.

This October, the world will indeed experience a case of Toy Story mania when the first two films are re-released in theaters in 3D. But unless you're a collector of all things Pixar, Toy Story Mania! is not a game you'll want to own.

Ultimately, if your kids are in the 7-10 year old range, Toy Story Mania is in their wheelhouse. Savvier gamers will cringe, and the younger set will have too much difficulty with the controls and the objectives. It’s too bad, because with a few adjustments, it could’ve been something much better – and more appealing to everyone in the family.

Toy Story Mania is a decent home version of the popular Disneyland and Walt Disney World attraction, but ultimately it’s just another lacklustre mini-game compilation for the Wii.

I'd avoid this one even if you're a die-hard fan of the series.

I played this game by myself and didn't like it. I played it with friends and they didn't like it. I played it with kids, and even they didn't like it (and kids will play anything).
