What Parents Need to Know
This review of Toy Story Mania was written by Jinny Gudmundsen
Parents need to know that this minigame collection is primarily a bunch of carnival-inspired shooting galleries where kids aim at bull-eyes or paper cutouts. While shooting is the primary play mechanic, no one is ever hurt. This is a game about target practice, not inflicting violence. The game is particularly fun to play with two kids together, but can accommodate up to 4 with kids having to take turns.
Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about why Disney released this game now. It coincides with the big screen double feature of Toy Story and Toy Story 2 presented in Disney Digital 3D and it is based on the attraction of the same name at the Disney theme parks. Is this a way for Disney to drum up interest in this old license, particularly because it is planning a third Toy Story movie in 2010?
- How important to your enjoyment was the presence of the Toy Story characters in the minigames? Would you have enjoyed the games equally as much if the characters hadn't been present? Did you select the minigames that featured your favorite character?

What’s the Story?
Is It Any Good?
Toy Story Mania is a solid addition to the minigames genre and like most in this field, is best if played with others. While these minigames can be played with up to four kids, it is better with only two since only two can play at a time. The shooting galleries create fast-paced action as cardboard cutouts and balloons whiz over the screen. The games have multiple objectives, which means that it is fun to play them repeatedly to see if you can better your score and find all the quirky things to shoot.
But the overall structure of the game is a little hard to navigate. Initially, you must unlock the games by playing through the Story Mode – but there is no story here. There are minimum objectives that must be met before you can move on to the next game, so kids may have to repeat some of the games. When you earn enough tickets, you can purchase all of the games to play in Free Play Mode. But the Free Play Mode is somewhat confusing to figure out because each of the unlocked games is represented by a hard-to-use stamp. Complaints aside, this is a fun game for two boys (ages 6 to 11) to explore together, but it isn't a go-to game like Mario Kart Wii.

A Gotta Have for Toy Story Fans!-of any age
I think the other review for this must be for something else. This is a fun (not too challenging, but there are a couple of "goals" you have to complete to unlock free play that are tricky. If your kids love the game at WDW then this is a good game.
