Toy Story Mania! (Wii)

By Steve Wollaston on Oct 24, 09 10:44 PM

BEAUTIFULLY timed to tie-in with the release of Toy Story 3D at the cinema, this is a collection of mini-games with a carnival-style theme.

You can't go wrong with the likes of Woody and Buzz in a game, but Disney Interactive has ensured this is a catchy little title packed full of fun and challenges for the whole family.

It is essentially funfair puzzles, mini-games and shooting games incorporating everyone's favourite characters and utilising the genius of the Wii to full effect.

Our version of the game came with a Buzz Lightyear ray gun and this added a whole new element of fun. You also get 3D glasses for the levels that use this feature, which Disney Interactive is keen to develop.

This is a real multiplayer gem and highly addictive. Some of the games are a bit naff, but on the whole the collection is strong and very playable. Production values are as you come to expect from Disney, graphically it can't be faulted and the gameplay is strong too.

Story Mode is where you can unlock extras you can then play in Free Mode. Great fun for all the family, all I need to do now is seize back the Buzz Ray Gun (extra cost - but worth it!) from my youngest Lily who thinks it's a toy.
