Based on the Disney/Pixar feature film Toy Story and the 4D Toy Story Mania! attraction that launched at Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World Resort last year, Toy Story Mania!, you can join all the classic Toy Story characters in Toy Story Mania! as Woody, Buzz and the gang stage their own zany, fun-filled carnival. Toy Story Mania! allows players to participate in familiar and all-new carnival-inspired shooting galleries and win top prizes in mini-games. The game features multiplayer competitive and cooperative modes supporting up to two players, providing hours of fun.
User Ratings and Reviews
3 Stars You’re paying for the Disney name – for kids under 10 & die-hard D fans only
this game really should be only $20-30 considering the effort & content.
Pros:
graphics – are decent, it does have some textures which is nice to see, most games don’t even that that much.
menu system – had great details of toy room & toy choices
the voice acting was decent in the few second cut scenes, though during gameplay you’ll hear the same lines over & over to the point of immense annoyance.
you can skip cut scenes & goal instructions by hitting B repeatedly.
you can turn on/off the reticule & use either A or B to shoot.
nice tutorial for the tickets/stickers area.
cons:
voice acting – along with repeated lines at nauseum during gameplay, some of the voices seemed odd or very condescending.
story mode – just playing game after game after game, getting all 2-5 goals in order to unlock it for free play. when you start story mode at atny time, you are forced to always start from the beginning practice each time & you can never skip games even if you’ve unlocked it.
menu in game – only pause, controls, goals & quit.
I had my cursor disappear as well
3D – worst I’d ever seen from red/blue & I love this type since the late ’80s as a kid, though I love the new IMAX more, but that’s not possible w/o shutter glasses. there are only 5 games that have it & they are ones you already played in normal mode. I agree, when it was on, I couldn’t even tell & it just made my eyes tear up & look blurry, nothing more.
you can do the shooting by hitting A or B non-stop like a machine gun, which takes out any skill, the only thing you get penalized is not having your accuracy be #1.
as another said, the lame shaking for bonus points. only preschoolers love this.
I didn’t play all of it, but it was mostly various themes of a shooting gallery, a shell game using chocolate a chocolate gold coin in slow moving teacups, shaking wii mote to make the pig dance, a way too easy skee ball, a “ring the bell” using spaceship to takeoff
boring high score/accuracy list.
I do love arcade/mini games & shooting games, but I’d rather play rayman raving rabbids 1 or 2 for their on-rails shooter, much more humor & interaction.

4 Stars Toy Story Mania! – Family Entertainment
Are you a fan of Toy Story Mania! at the Disney Parks? Then this game is for you. Many of the games are similar to the ride that you think you are there while additional games to make it enjoyable for the entire family.
5 Stars BEST KIDS WII GAME ON THE MARKET!
My family LOVES everything Toy Story and this game is a perfect compliment to the movies! The game promotes hand eye coordination at a child’s level, is family friendly and non-violent. I really enjoy playing this one with my kids and have on my own after they have gone to bed for the evening. Worth the money!!!
5 Stars Great Game, Just like the ride at Disney
The game is great, just like the ride at Disney. There is not enough time to play. Would recommend this game to anyone.
4 Stars Just like the ride!
Toy Story Mania! is alot of fun. It;s similar, almost the same as the ride experience at the parks. We really enjoy playing the game with the 3-D glasses and it gives you the whole experience.
